New Kawasaki Ninja 650 tweaked and connected for 2020

Kawasaki brings a touch of sophistication to its Ninja 650 roadster in 2020 with a color TFT matrix display and full LED lighting. The protection and passenger seat of this 68 horsepower motorcycle would improve too. Presentation.

Kawasaki, which has already revealed this summer its, lifts the veil on its first "real" novelty for 2020: the sport-GT motorcycle launched to succeed the late ER-6f. Its main modification affects its instrumentation, now with a TFT color matrix.

This 10.9 cm panel notably includes an engaged gear indicator, fuel level and consumption and, of course, the now essential bluetooth connection. "For a new generation of riders who would never leave home without their smartphone, the possibility of connecting to their motorcycle is necessarily fascinating", say the Greens.

This new 2020 Ninja also strengthens its sporty features and receives LED headlights as well as more efficient tires: Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 to replace the previous D214. Its screen "better integrated into the fairing" also highlights its stylistic evolution. 

This windshield is shorter than in 2019, but its straighter inclination would guarantee "more effective protection", Kawasaki assures us. MNC asks to see to check during a test, as does the increased thickness of his passenger seat.
