Features may include:

Carving corners requires attention to detail that doesn’t cut any corners. We started with a great foundation—a rigid, high-carbon steel frame. Housed in the belly of the beast is a 649cc engine paired with a buttery smooth 6-speed gearbox. A slipper clutch is a great friend to those who enjoy aggressive downshifts. Top-shelf J.Juan brakes and Pirelli Angel GT tires hint at the level of rider you have the potential to be.

• TFT Display

The 650NK features a large, 5-inch TFT display. Bright sunshine? You’ll have no issues with glare. Overcast skies? Screen brightness adjusts automatically. The full-color LCD instrument display delivers at-a-glance information, including rpm, gear, speed, even phone connectivity. Two interfaces differentiate your riding modes.

• Pirelli Tires

The Pirelli Angel GT was chosen for its excellent feel, high degree of stability, and excellent wear characteristics. What’s more, it performs superbly in cold and wet conditions. This is your racetrack-capable sport touring tire perfectly capable on any paved road you have in mind.

• CF-SC Slipper Clutch

Downshift as you enter a corner. Upshift, and accelerate as you exit. The slipper clutch makes the transition seamless. When downshifting from higher speeds, the slipper clutch reduces engine braking force. Engine speed quickly matches motorcycle speed—no need to worry about rear wheel hop.

• Engine

Power is central to your riding experience. And 60 horsepower makes the 650NK the middleweight champion. The 649cc parallel twin is a DOHC, 4-valve per cylinder design. Liquid cooling keeps engine temperatures where they should for optimal performance.

• BOSCH EFI System

BOSCH is one of the world’s most respected names in electronic fuel injection. The BOSCH EFI system chosen for the 650NK contributes to effortless riding. Enjoy quick starts at lower temperatures, instant throttle response, lower emissions, and excellent fuel consumption.

• Semi-Dry Sump

The semi-dry sump provides the bike with continuous lubrication. The engine is never starved of oil at those critical times when lubrication is so critical. At 8750 rpm, your engine will be screaming with joy, not pain.

• LED Lights

See and be seen. You’re not just lighting the road. You’re a beacon of light for others to see. The bike’s LED headlights provide optimum visibility and a clean aesthetic.

• KYB Suspension Components

If you’re keen on leaning into corners, you’ll be happy to hear about this suspension. We paired a KYB telescopic fork with a KYB rear monoshock for performance that’s highly responsive to rider input.

• J.Juan Brake System

Great brakes make you a better rider and inspire more confidence. That’s why we chose these binders from J.Juan for the 650NK. Up front you get a pair of 300mm discs, each with a 2-piston caliper. The rear is a 240mm disc sporting a beefy single-caliper piston.

• Continental ABS

The anti-lock braking system is one of the most important safety features of your motorcycle. ABS prevents the front and rear wheels from locking up. In the event of sudden braking, dual channel ABS by Continental minimizes the risk of a skid which could cause loss of control.
