Meanwhile, the 649cc parallel-twin engine makes 66.1 bhp at 8,500 rpm and 44.9 Ib-ft of torque at 7,000 rpm, more than enough power to zip through gridlock and rip through twisties far beyond city limits.
Helping to keep things under control is a responsive braking set-up — dual semi-floating 300mm discs up front and a 250mm disc at the rear — complemented by Kawasaki’s own traction control system.
The suspension is just as solid: a 41mm inverted telescopic fork, with adjustable rebound damping and adjustable preload, plus a single rear shock with remote spring preload adjustability.
Meanwhile, to ensure you don’t get (too) lost on any epic journeys, the bike offers powerful LED lights and a full-color 4.3 inch TFT dash you can pair with your smartphone for foolproof navigation.
All those features are standard, with the option to upgrade to more loaded Tourer and Grand Tourer editions.
