  • Time travel is possible. Though not in a way you've seen in the sci-fi movies. Retro motorcycles - they look like they've come from a time when the flower power was strong, but on the inside, they are as modern as the latest smartphone. Case-in-point, the 2022 Kawasaki Z650RS. It looks like the original Z650 from the 70s but has the same heart as the modern Ninja 650. Varun Painter finds out if the new Z650RS can teleport you back in time.

    Those gold spoked alloys and twin pod speedo/tacho gauges is how it should be done! Looks gorgeous! 🥰 Please also throw light on how the 125 mm ground clearance works in context of the great Indian SPEEDBREAKERS.

    The z and rs collab or the old Z1 indicates the Z900RS , not this z650rs , they literally took the Chassis and placed the z650 engine into the z900rs chassis .
    For me it's always the z900rs , unfortunately when they released this in india the price was 16lakhs ex showroom against the z900 price of 8.5 lakhs hence it didn't run well , the pricing was so stupid of the z900rs.

    It’s high time Kawasaki must ditch the under belly exhaust and increase the ground clearance. I have a ninja 650 and every time I see a bumper my heart comes to my mouth. So Varun Ji please remove the city part from your statement.
    Regarding the bike. To me it’s “ I also want to sell retro .. let’s put some pieces together “ wala approach.
