Look at Kawasaki all new NINJA650R sportbike and the first impression is one of pure design appreciation. Look a little longer and many of the innovative engine and chassis elements begin to come into play. But the entire package doesn truly project its intended engineering outcome until the motorcycle is viewed with a rider seemingly melded into its unique posture. Because the 650R was meant to have broad rider appeal, Kawasaki development team began its task with the riderot the motorcycle.
Focusing on all kinds of riders, and all kinds of riding, Kawasaki carefully studied the interface between human and machine.
