It’s only after 7000 rpm where the Ninja 650 does not rev with as much enthusiasm as an SV650 or some other competitors and is left in the dust by the CBR650R but is closely matched by the FZ6R From there on and up until around 7000 rpm you have very similar engine performance to the Suzuki SV650 which we tested only recently. There is a little flat spot around 3500 rpm but is barely noticeable on the road.

The engine offers plenty of instant drive from as little as 2500 rpm. It’s actually a very good engine and is exactly what you need on the road and has the power and acceleration where your tachometer needle mostly lives – which is the bottom and middle half of the rpm range. Kawasaki have made incremental improvements and the latest version of the engine makes a little more power at peak and has a better spread of power and torque than previous versions of this engine. To be fair on Kawasaki the RS 660 is totally new, and is almost twice the price, and while an entry level sportbike the RS660 is more focused and will likely go up against be compared four-cylinder Supersports bikes seeing as the Aprilia makes similar power. Though if looking at Aprilia’s new RS660, it really does show us what can be done with this configuration and engine size. The Ninja 650’s 62 hp at the wheels is kind of what is to be expected in the class and at this engine size and configuration.

The latest Ninja 650 goes up against many class alternatives including Kawasaki’s very own Ninja 400, as well as the MT-07, SV650 and the class performance leader the Honda CBR650R. Parallel twins have L-twin like easy power and torque deliveries but arguably minus the nice sound of any 90-degree twin cylinder engine.

Powered by the very popular parallel two-cylinder configuration which is an engine that seems to be used in a very many entry level motorcycles. Kawasaki seems to have the entry level motorcycle class completely covered at all engine sizes with the Ninja 250, Ninja 300, and Ninja 400, as well as the naked counterparts and the many other offerings over the years.
