Kawasaki Z650rs

The Kawasaki Z650rs has a top speed of 185 km/h (estimated), produces 67 hp and weighs 187 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.

A Kawasaki Z650RS foi lançada em 2022 como uma motocicleta neoclássica de estilo retrô, inspirada na icônica Kawasaki Z650 da década de 1970. Ele compartilha sua plataforma de motor duplo paralelo com o moderno Z650, mas o envolve em um estilo de inspiração vintage com farol redondo, tanque de combustível em forma de lágrima e rodas com raios. O modelo foi bem recebido por unir a estética clássica com desempenho e confiabilidade modernos, atraindo ciclistas que buscam um visual nostálgico sem sacrificar a tecnologia contemporânea.

O que os compradores devem saber

⚙️

Proven Engine Platform

The Z650RS shares its 649cc parallel-twin engine with the highly reliable Ninja 650, a powerplant with a strong track record for low maintenance and longevity. It's an excellent choice for riders wanting retro style without sacrificing modern dependability.

🔍

Watch the Exhaust Headers

Some owners report minor corrosion or bluing on the exhaust headers, especially on used examples that weren't regularly maintained. Inspect these closely on any pre-owned unit, as replacement headers can be a costly fix.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Z650RS holds its value well due to high demand for retro-styled middleweight bikes and limited dealer stock in many markets. Buying new is often worth it, as used examples frequently sell close to MSRP.

7.8/10
Melhor para
Style-conscious riders wanting reliable daily fun

"A genuinely pretty bike that's actually fun to ride."

$5,500-$7,800 used

The Z650RS is one of those rare bikes that actually delivers on its retro promises. Kawasaki nailed the neo-classic aesthetic without sacrificing modern reliability, and the 649cc parallel-twin is genuinely enjoyable — punchy enough through the midrange to keep you grinning without ever feeling intimidating. Used examples are popping up everywhere now, mostly from riders who bought them for the looks and upgraded to something bigger. That works in your favor on price. What to check on used examples: the exhaust headers discolor badly and some owners fit aftermarket cans, so inspect welds carefully. The stock suspension is soft for heavier riders — a known limitation, not a fault. Clutch cables on early examples wore faster than expected, so ask about service history. Fuel injection is crisp and reliable, virtually no issues reported there. Overall it's a genuinely honest middleweight with low running costs and strong resale stability. Don't overthink it.
