The Model Year 2026 version of the achingly gorgeous retro-styled Kawasaki Z650RS has been launched at a price of ₹7.83 lakh, which is ₹14,000 more than the 2025 model. The 2026 Z650RS is available in a striking shade of Metallic Ocean Blue, whereas the 2025 had a more plain Ebony Black. Either works for us, though, because the Z650RS looks beautiful, no matter what colour it is.

As for the specs, the 2026 Kawasaki Z650RS produces 66PS / 62.1Nm, which is less than 68PS / 64Nm developed by the 2025 model. Slightly less power and torque notwithstanding, the Z650RS still offers a completely unique package in the naked middleweight segment and thus we see its appeal remaining exactly the same as before with the 2026 model.
