EICMA 2019: 2020 Kawasaki Z650 Unveiled

Kawasaki has unveiled the 2020 Kawasaki Z650 at the EICMA 2019 motorcycle show and the new model now gets sharper styling which is in-line with models higher in the range. That said, under the skin the new motorcycle remains identical to its predecessor. Among the most prominent changes is the new LED headlamp, headlamp cowl and sharper looking tank shrouds. Since the Kawasaki Z650 remains unchanged mechanically, you get the same right-side up non-adjustable forks upfront and dual 300 mm disc brakes, but it has seen the addition of new rider assistance tech.
