1. KRT Roots 'Striped'
The very KRT term stands for Kawasaki Racing Team and while it is called the 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 650 KRT Edition, it gets a distinct racing livery in yellow, white, and black stripes, carried over from the racing spec model. Other than this, it gets some refreshed graphics to make it more appealing.
2. Exclusive Lime Green Paintjob
Apart from the updated graphics, the Kawasaki Ninja 650 KRT gets an exclusive lime green paint scheme that is typical of the racing team color, adding that KRT vibes over the standard model. This is the same as you get with the Ninja ZX-10R, and is eye candy for sure.
3. Features On Board
The Ninja 650 KRT Edition comes equipped with full LED lighting and a 4.3-inch TFT display that not only shows essential ride data but also supports smartphone connectivity with call and message notifications. Enhancing rider safety and control, it includes dual-channel ABS, a slip and assist clutch for smoother gear shifts, and a two-level traction control system to adapt to varying road conditions.
4. No Tweaks Mechanically
The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 650 KRT Edition remains mechanically unchanged, retaining its 649cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine. It produces 68PS at 8,000 rpm and 64Nm at 6,400 rpm. Known for its refined performance, the engine offers smooth power delivery and consistent reliability, making it suitable for both daily commutes and spirited weekend rides.

5. Styling Retained
The Kawasaki Ninja 650 KRT Edition carries forward its signature aggressive styling, complete with sleek twin LED headlamps that give it a striking road presence. Built around a strong trellis frame, it offers a well-balanced ride thanks to its 41 mm telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock setup. Braking performance is sharp and dependable, with twin 300 mm petal discs at the front and a 220 mm disc at the rear.
Verdict
Despite a price increase of Rs. 11,000, the 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 650 KRT Edition doesn't bring major updates apart from the new race-inspired livery. Visually, it aligns closely with the standard version, which may leave some wanting more. That said, the Ninja 650 continues to hold its ground as an excellent value-for-money sporty mover. Its proven reliability, refined performance, and everyday usability make it a compelling option for riders looking for a capable and comfortable all-round package.
