The Kawasaki Ninja 650R, also known as the EX-6 or EX-6f, was a standard motorcycle part of the Ninja series in Kawasaki's range that debuted in 2006 and continued production until 2017.
In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Ninja 650, a standard motorcycle designed for everyday use on paved roads. Starting in 2012, the bike lost the "R" suffix from its name.
The 2012 Ninja 650 has standard features, such as a full fairing with a dual headlight system, a medium-sized windscreen, a two-piece dual seat, an under-belly exhaust system, and six-spoke lightweight wheels.
The bike was built on a high tensile steel perimeter frame with a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and an offset lay-down adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling.
In the braking department, the bike packed two 300 mm semi-floating petal discs coupled to hydraulic calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm petal disc tied to a hydraulic caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.
As for the power figures, the 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 650 had installed a 649cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine underneath its fuel tank, managed by a fuel injection system, delivering 72 hp with maximum strength at 8,500 rpm and 64 Nm (47 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.
