Kawasaki Z650

Middleweight is that section in Motorcycling which offers enough usable performance along with great value for money. In India, the middle section is particularly devoid of anything interesting. We either have the entry level 300 cc or the high level 1000 cc bikes which make 200 HP, most of which we don’t ever use. In between these two lies the sweet spot of 50 to 90 HP, which is more than enough for 95% of people like me out there. Luckily there is an oasis in the desert which has two very capable 600 cc motorcycles parked beside it. The Kawasaki Z650 and Benelli 600i, let's compare them.

When manufacturers surprise the riders with new motorcycles, it gives the enthusiasts a feeling that is one level higher to a launch that is planned. Kawasaki surprised the Indian market by launching various line-up of motorcycles. Enthusiasts like me are so eager to lay our hands on those motorcycles.
