Just like lots of new bikes this year, the updates to the 2020 Kawasaki Z650 are designed to squeeze it through the new Euro5 emissions tests, saving time for a big update in the future.

So the Z650 now runs cleaner thanks to a new exhaust and revised airbox. But the rest of the bike receives minor tweaks including new Dunlop Roadsport 2 rubber, thicker pillion seat foam and a slight aesthetic rework around the front.

The Zed also now sports a fancy 4.3in full-colour TFT dash, which brings with it a suite of fancy tech all activated through a Bluetooth app and including vehicle info, GPS ride logs and even phone notifications.

Prices start at £6649 for the lime green and metallic black, with the white and black and solid black models available for £6749. Keep an eye on MCN for a full review coming soon.
