Kawasaki Z650RS - Latest News and Updates
2026 Model Launched - January 2026 Kawasaki India launched the 2026 Z650RS at Rs 7.83 Lakh ex-showroom, a Rs 14,000 increase over the 2025 model. The key updates are a new Metallic Ocean Blue paint scheme with brushed metal side panel inserts and E20 petrol compliance. The engine, suspension, frame, and hardware carry over unchanged from 2025 - Kawasaki has described this as a cosmetic refresh aligned with regulatory requirements rather than a mechanical evolution.
MY25 Discount - April 2026 Kawasaki India offered a Rs 34,000 cash discount on 2025 Z650RS stock valid through April 2026, bringing the effective price down to approximately Rs 7.35 Lakh ex-showroom. This was one of the more significant factory discounts the model has seen since its India launch.
2024 Model Launched - January 2024 The 2024 Z650RS was launched at Rs 6.99 Lakh - the first time the model crossed the Rs 7 Lakh mark in India. It introduced BS6 Phase 2 compliance while retaining the core mechanical package.
India Launch - January 2022 The original Z650RS launched in India at Rs 6.65 Lakh at the Rider Mania festival. It was positioned as a retro alternative to the standard Z650, sharing mechanicals but wearing classic Z1-inspired styling. The launch price was competitive enough to immediately attract attention in the emerging neo-retro 650cc segment.

Kawasaki India offered Rs 34,000 off on MY25 Z650RS stock as a voucher redeemable against the ex-showroom price, effectively bringing the 2025 model's price down from Rs 7.69 Lakh to Rs 7.35 Lakh. The offer was valid through April 30, 2026 or until stocks lasted.
Kawasaki India announced discounts of Rs 20,000-27,000 on the Z650 and Z650RS for February 2026, valid till February 28, 2026. The offer applied to in-stock units and was part of a broader Kawasaki 650cc range promotion.
Kawasaki India launched the 2026 Z650RS at Rs 7.83 Lakh ex-showroom - Rs 14,000 more than the 2025 model. The update brings Metallic Ocean Blue paint with brushed metal side panel inserts and E20 fuel compliance; the 649cc parallel-twin engine and all hardware carry over unchanged.
The Kawasaki Z650RS has seen steady annual price increases of Rs 10,000-54,000 since its 2022 launch - from Rs 6.65 Lakh to the current Rs 7.83 Lakh. This reflects both regulatory compliance costs and modest annual updates. No significant mechanical changes are expected for 2027, though a new colour option is likely.
