Been waiting for this one! I'm on a ninja 300, and I wanted to upgrade to a 600-650 class bike this summer

[yahoodlums]

This is a great everyday bike that has been styled to look a bit sporty but really its an all-rounder suited to newer riders. They sound good with an aftermarket pipe too.

I just bought this bike. Love it. Full Yoshimura exhaust. Dynojet PC smoked out tail
light/windscreen rear seat cowl.its a clean machine for sure. Watching from Upstate NY.

Nice video and good review. I’ve ridden the ninja 650 a few weeks ago for a whole day. And I loved it! The engine is so much better now. I have a Versys 650 and ridden the ER6-N and you can really feel the difference. the superlight clutch is so nice to use. Gearbox is Very good and precise. And that TFT is one of the best on the market imo. This bike has surprised me alot! Rode over 400km that day and no issues on comfort. This is a great bike to attack your local twisties and go touring with some softbags on the back. Simple bike, No electronics, just pure motorcycle fun!

Love love love this bike. Got it as my first real bike and been so happy with it. Its something that i think wont get boring after a few years of riding.

Love the underslung exhaust and TFT dash! ❤️

[abduali]

Agree with the review, i got my 650 2 months back. its very comfortable, has enough torque to put a smile on your face, perfect every day bike. Definitely recommend an after market exhaust, stock exhaust is terrible sounds like a lawn mower

I have a 2018 model and it's my first bike even I've never ridden anything else before. It's a lovely package as you have pointed out brilliantly. Great looks, great comfort, great mileage, great performance. People use to complain about the engine noise, but I have to say, as I use it everyday, it's much better to have a silent bike in idle that sounds really nice in mid and high RPMs. My three complains are (1) the original tyres (I noticed that the one shown in this 2020 model is different from mine) that have really poor performance in the rain; (2) contrary to your oppinion, the ABS, which I think is way too intrusive. Brazil has really crappy pavement everywhere in the streets and everytime I need the brakes, if I am over a bumpy road, I can count with a scary one second without almost any brakes; and (3) I can't find a scale model of my bike anywhere! Hahahahaha. Other than that, lovely lovely bike.

TFT is brilliant ! Easy and comfy to ride. This is my first bike in my life and I am glad I picked exactly this one

[sergicodina]

I've went from one year riding GSX-R 125 (my first bike with car license) to this Ninja 650 back in March (now with my A2 license).
While riding it, it felt like "even lighter" that the other one, or even just the same, thanks on having all its weight on the bottom. Really comfy and easy to configure the TFT panel. The more I ride it, comparing it to a racing one, the less I want to go back to an R.

I have a 2018 Ninja 400 for 2 yrs & I m a very happy owner. It's very similar to the 650 in most area except for the slightly slower pick up & softer front brake. Bought the 400 instead of the 650, used the savings $ to fit up my Shiver 900 into a comfortable tourer.
*I m 5'5" & I can flat foot on the new range of Ninjas 👍

I have a 2007 plasma blue Kawasaki 650R Ninja with 4, 770 miles in mint condition. It was sold in Colorado US and imported to Canada where I live. I have had 0 issues with this bike. My bike has a bit more horsepower at 72 than the 2020 Ninja 650. I've never ridden a late model Ninja 650; test rides are hard to get where I live. I've been considering trading for a Ninja 650.

[elphabama]

Thank you so much for putting this video together. I have watched it quite a few times over the last couple of years. I have a 2021 650 ninja KRT. I have been riding it since I passed my test and I love the bike to bits it ticks so many boxes. I have just put a Leo Vince straight through exhaust on it. The difference is night and day I would recommend anybody that still has the stock exhaust to change it for an aftermarket upgraded exhaust.

[andrewtierney]

Gorgeous bike. Just bought my KRT as sort of a "refresher" bike (haven't ridden in 6 years or so), and can't wait to hit the road. Seems like a perfect balance of looking sporty while being user friendly.

I've been riding my 150cc honda CB for almost 5 years now, 55000 kilometers of daily commute to campus & long tours and roadtrips. Last march I went on a solo roadtrip, visited 6 cities & 1000 kilometers in 6 days. Would love to upgrade to this Ninja 650, maybe when I have a steady job & income :')

[MrJayNC]

Had one of these bad boys about 10 years ago. Everything you said about the ER-6n was as accurate as I remember it.

[koshyphilip]

Awesome! Helped a lot in making a decision . From where I am at it's a Ninja 650 + Enfield Continental GT compared to just a CBR 650 R . Two for the price of one and I'm smiling very wide indeed .

[jmaia]

I have one and I love it.
Nice amount of torque and very easy to use. The only thing I hate about it is the engine sound that's I've already fixed with an aftermarket exhaust.
Very nice review tho.
Cheers from Portugal :-)

[Brianmoto]

..really good review ...showing how it relates to the Z series ...I a Z400 which I really like and am planning to use it for some track experience. The way the Ninja 650 is set up so you can ride up right if you wish ( which I like BTW) is a great selling point for me...thank you for a job well done

[madbadger]

Think it’s time to trade my zx10r in for one of these, I’m starting to value my life and license!!!
