2006 Kawasaki Ninja 650R, Good First Bike - KAWASAKIS NINJA 650R BREAKS NEW GROUND WITH BROAD APPEAL AND INNOVATIVE DESIGN. Unique look and feel grew from specific design team objectives seeking to blend attractiveness with power. Look at Kawasakis all new NINJA 650R sportbike and the first impression is one of pure design appreciation. Look a little longer and many of the innovative engine and chassis elements begin to come into play. But the entire package doesnt truly project its intended engineering outcome until the motorcycle is viewed with a rider seemingly melded into its unique posture. Because the 650R was meant to have broad rider appeal, Kawasakis development team began its task with the rider–not the motorcycle. Focusing on all kids of riders, and all kinds of riding, Kawasaki carefully studied the interface between human and machine. Riding positions were studied to discover which instilled the most confidence. Narrowing the distance between foot pegs and striving for a lower seat height and low effort controls all played into the design efforts. Ultimately, this exceptionally well-proportioned NINJA 650R represents a genre of motorcycling new to Kawasaki– one that finds itself at home with both novices and experienced riders, and one that will be seen equally in daily midtown commuting situations as well as week-end highway getaways. A combination of versatility, performance and style, this motorcycle knows no boundaries in terms of rider appeal. It will be a first-time purchase for some, a second or third motorcycle for others, and for all, it will be fun. Powered by a compact 2-cylinder engine mounted in a sleek, lightweight chassis, this extremely maneuverable model will earn its rank as on of the most rider friendly units in todays marketplace. The very compact liquid-cooled, DOHC, 8-valve 649 cc Parallel Twin with fuel injection delivers a smooth responsiveness that is tuned for rider-friendly power characteristics– especially in the low and medium rpm ranges that will inspire confidence in new motorcyclists. Its excellent mid-range characteristics will make the 650R a natural for medium speed commuting environments. And slipping in and out of traffic will be a cinch for this new entry, as its lightweight trellis frame and laydown shock also contribute to its overall compactness. While the powerplant on this new NINJA is compact, it is anything but minimal in its output. Just gauge the 650Rs roll-on response when making a highway pass and any concerns in that area quickly subside. The engineers called on their vast experience building NINJA supersport machines to develop a motorcycle possessing performance characteristics that will be a match for anything currently available in the middleweight arena, including those with larger displacement.
