Kawasaki Z650RS features

Furthermore, the RS (Retro Sport) is more classic in construction. Features a steel Trellis frame, ø41 mm conventional fork and rear suspension with a horizontal backlink with adjustable spring preload. Compared to the Z650, the RS also has a more relaxed riding position due to a higher handlebar that is closer to the rider.

What makes him classic?

Classic design elements include the tank, side panels, ducktail and two analog round counters, as used to be the case on the Z650-B1. An LCD display is housed between the analogue counters and the Z650RS has modern LED lighting, with the taillight designed to look like it houses a classic bulb.
