The bike comes equipped with a 4.3-inch TFT colour display, which forms the bridge between the rider and the bike. It enables Bluetooth connectivity for phones, opening doors to various features. Along with this, the bike gets full LED lighting. The list of rider aid features includes traction control and anti-lock braking system.
The traction control system provides two different modes. Mode 1 is intended to be less intrusive, aiding during cornering, while Mode 2 engages sooner when it detects significant wheel spin, lowering engine power to improve traction. This latter mode is particularly useful in wet riding conditions, as stated by the manufacturer. Additionally, the KRTC feature can be turned off if preferred.
Based on a trellis frame, the bike is suspended on 41 mm telescopic front forks and a monoshock at the rear end. Braking is the responsibility of twin 300 mm dual-piston disc brakes at the front and a single 220 mm petal disc brake at the rear end, which works with single-piston calipers.
Powering the 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 650 KRT Edition is the same 649 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine. This unit is tuned to produce 67 hp of power at 8,000 rpm and 65 Nm torque at 6,700 rpm. It comes paired with a six-speed transmission with a slip-and-assist clutch.
