presentation of the Ninja 650 Performance 2017
Despite being one of Kawasaki's most successful models, the ER-6 has never had a Performance Edition. With the exception of the one-off created by Kawa France in 2015. Its descendants have rectified the situation, both in roadster and fairing form. In turn, the Ninja 650 gains the accessory pack that goes with it, enhancing both the road and the owner. Because if you've fallen for this mock sportbike, you've no doubt had your eye on ways to enhance it.
that's where the "Performance" pack comes in. It concentrates all the essentials you'd expect to boost the machine. First and foremost, the sound. Here we find a complete Akrapovic Titanium line, complemented by a carbon tip. This exhaust will deliver a drier, more virile, more hectic engine melody, while saving over 2 kilos on the scales. The Akra will also deliver up to 4 horsepower at 5200 rpm.
A baritone breath, and styling elements to stimulate the pace. The smoked bubble is a nice touch, while a seat cover is the perfect finishing touch. Finally, the fuel tank benefits from gel-resin protection to prevent zipper scratches.
Already an assertive machine, the Kawasaki 650 Ninja boasts a sportier stance in its Performance version. For more adventurous use, the Tourer pack opens up new horizons.
