Intro

The Kawasaki Z650RS is now available with a Rs 20,000 cashback voucher in India for September 2025, making the effective ex-showroom price Rs 7 lakh. This limited-time offer is a timely opportunity for prospective buyers, especially with the impending GST reforms that will affect bikes in this segment.

Kawasaki Z650RS: September discount

Kawasaki India dealerships are offering a Rs 20,000 cashback voucher redeemable against the ex-showroom price, valid till September 30, 2025. This brings the list price down from Rs 7.20 lakh to Rs 7.00 lakh, while insurance and registration will be calculated on the pre-discount price.

How the cashback works

The benefit is a dealer-redeemable voucher against ex-showroom billing and not a direct on-road reduction; availability is subject to dealership participation and stock. Buyers need to complete purchase formalities within the validity period to ensure the voucher is applied.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 649cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin making about 68 PS at 8,000 rpm and 64 Nm at 6,700 rpm and a 6-speed gearbox with assist and slipper clutch. For daily use, the mid-range is tractable and the claimed mileage of 23 km/l keeps running costs reasonable for the segment.

Design and key features

The Z650RS has a round LED headlight, teardrop tank and twin-pod analogue dials with a multifunction LCD for a neo-retro look. A steel trellis frame, 17-inch alloys and rider aids like ABS and traction control for a daily rider.

Ride, handling and safety

A 41 mm telescopic fork and preload-adjustable horizontal back-link monoshock for comfort and quick direction changes in traffic. Dual front discs and rear disc with dual-channel ABS for predictable braking and KTRC traction control for safety in low-grip conditions.

Price and rivals

With the September voucher, the effective Z650RS price is Rs 7 lakh ex-showroom, just below the Rs 7.20 lakh list price for MY2025. In the retro and middleweight segment, you may also consider the Triumph Speed Twin 900 or other Kawasaki options based on your preference and budget.

Closing note

If a neo-retro twin with friendly ergonomics is on the shortlist, this Rs 20,000 cashback makes the Kawasaki Z650RS a timely purchase. With new GST reforms set to take effect, the GST on motorcycles above 350cc (including the 649cc Z650RS) will increase from the current rate. This limited-time offer helps offset a significant portion of the price hike. Secure your purchase before the month-end deadline to lock in the current pricing and avail the discount. Confirm voucher applicability and final on-road price with your local dealer.
