Design & Looks
The Z650 keeps a classic naked‑bike silhouette but adds a modern twist. Sharper LED headlights, a sleek fuel tank, and a compact tail section give it a muscular look without looking over‑styled. The ergonomics are relaxed enough for city traffic yet aggressive for weekend rides.
- LED headlamp for better night visibility.
- Minimalist tail section that reduces drag.
- Dual‑sport seat – comfortable for both rider and pillion.
Performance & Mileage
The heart of the Z650 is a 649 cc parallel‑twin engine that pushes out 68 hp at 10,000 rpm. It feels lively on twisty roads and still delivers smooth power for highway cruising. In real‑world tests the bike averages around 55 km/l, which is a notch better than the Duke 390’s 50 km/l claim.
- Power: 68 hp / 65 Nm.
- Fuel economy: ~55 km/l (combined).
- Top speed: ~180 km/h.
Price & Rivals
Thanks to a special dealer discount, the Z650 is now priced at ₹1,95,000, which is roughly ₹15,000 cheaper than the current Duke 390 price tag of ₹2,10,000. That makes it the most value‑packed middle‑weight naked bike on the Indian market today.
When you stack it against rivals like the Yamaha MT‑07 or the Honda CB650R, the Z650 wins on price and fuel efficiency while staying close on performance.
