Kawasaki Z650RS On-Road Price in Chennai - 2026
The on-road price of Kawasaki Z650RS in Chennai, Tamil Nadu is ₹8,86,573 for 2026. This breaks down into an ex-showroom price of ₹7,83,000, road tax (RTO) of ₹62,640 at 8%, insurance charges of ₹37,433, and dealer handling fees of ₹3,500.
The ex-showroom price of ₹7,83,000 is fixed by Kawasaki India and is the same across all states. What changes city to city is the RTO rate - Tamil Nadu charges 8% road tax on motorcycles in this price bracket - along with state-specific insurance premiums. The ₹37,433 insurance figure above is for a comprehensive (own-damage + third-party) policy, which Kawasaki dealers typically include in the on-road package. Third-party insurance alone is cheaper at ₹15,117, but a new bike at this price is almost always worth insuring comprehensively.
Dealer handling and other charges add ₹3,500 to the total. This covers pre-delivery inspection, number plate fitting, and basic accessories fitment.
For EMI buyers in Chennai: most lenders offer 3-year tenures at 8-12% annual interest for premium motorcycles. On a 10% down payment against the on-road price of ₹8,86,573, the monthly instalment typically falls between Rs 24,000-28,000 depending on the lender and your credit profile. Kawasaki's authorised dealers in Chennai have tie-ups with HDFC Bank, Bajaj Finserv, and TVS Credit - it's worth comparing rates across these before signing.

Before finalising the purchase in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, a few practical tips: First, verify the on-road price quote in writing - the ₹8,86,573 figure is an estimate based on current RTO rates and insurance premiums, which can vary slightly by dealer. Second, check whether the dealer is including the mandatory 5-year third-party insurance (required for new vehicles since September 2018) or quoting only a 1-year policy - the premium difference is significant. Third, ask about Kawasaki's extended warranty, which can be added at purchase for a few thousand rupees and extends coverage to 3 years or 45,000 km. The Z650RS is a relatively low-volume import in India, so having extended warranty support matters more here than it would for a high-volume domestic brand.
