India Kawasaki Motor has launched the 2022 Ninja 650 motorcycle in the country, priced at ₹ 6.61 lakh (ex-showroom). The new MY2022 Kawasaki Ninja 650 comes with two new colour options - Pearl Robotic White and Lime Green. Compared to the MY2021 edition, the motorcycle gets a price hike of ₹ 7000, and the update is largely cosmetic with the new colour options. Deliveries for the new Ninja 650 range will begin from early September this year. The middleweight Ninja continues to be one of the most balanced entry-level superbikes out there and is quite the stepping stone for those looking to get their first performance motorcycle.
The 2022 Ninja 650 does not get any mechanical upgrades and uses the same 649 cc parallel-twin motor with 66 bhp
The 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 650 continues to get the Lime Green paint option but the yellow honeycomb pattern has been done away with. Instead, the lower fairing is finished in white and complemented with red pinstripes. The other colour is the Pearl Robotic white that incorporates metallic grey and white with lime green. The design remains the same on the motorcycle and there is no change to the feature list either. The bike rides on Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tyres.

The 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 650 draws power from the 649 cc parallel-twin engine that develops 66 bhp and 64 Nm of peak torque while paired with a 6-speed gearbox and slipper clutch. The bike uses telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear, while braking duties are handled by twin discs at the front and a single disc at the rear with dual-channel ABS. The Ninja 650 continues to get the twin LED headlamps, as well as a 4.3-inch TFT instrument console with smartphone connectivity via the Rideology app.
