The Kawasaki Z650RS 50th Anniversary Edition gets the 'Firecracker Red' dual-tone paint scheme

The Kawasaki Z650RS 50th Anniversary Edition will get the new 'Firecracker Red' dual-tone paint scheme bringing bold red and black colours to the bike. The colours are complemented by gold-finished alloy wheels and 70's style DOHC side panel badges.

The Z650RS 50th Anniversary Edition though will be available in limited numbers.

On the mechanical side, the Z650RS 50th Anniversary Edition will continue with the same specifications. This includes the 649 cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine tuned to produce 67.3 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 64 Nm of peak torque at 6,700 rpm. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The standard Kawasaki Z650RS is priced at Rs. 6.72 lakh (ex-showroom), but you can expect the 50th Anniversary Edition to be priced at a marginal premium. Expect the new version to arrive by the end of this month or by early February 2022.
