Kawasaki Ninja 650 2026

Judging the Kawasaki Ninja 650 purely on paper does not do justice to its potential. The engine is clearly not an engine bursting with power for the race track, but an agile but well-behaved journeyman. The sports tourer with supersport looks does exactly what it is supposed to do and presents itself as a real alternative in its class with its appropriate electronics package including traction control. Hobby racers should be warned, however, that the Ninja in the name still fuels a certain sporty expectation that a Ninja 650 cannot fully fulfil.

The KTM 690 SMC R 2026 impressively demonstrates how an already powerful single-cylinder can be further improved. It offers more power, a significantly upgraded electronics package, less maintenance and at the same time remains true to its character. Despite a slight increase in weight, it is more agile than ever and impresses in both sporty and everyday use. For NoPain, one thing is certain: the SuMo crown belongs back in Mattighofen in 2025.
