Kawasaki Ninja 650 Review | 2017

In this video we test the Kawasaki Ninja 650L.

For 2017, Kawasaki's 650 Ninja is for the most part a new bike. The biggest change for Kawasaki was doing away with the twin spar frame. All up the Ninja weighs 19kg less than the 2016 model.
Being a Ninja, it has a full fairing, which means the cockpit is mounted further forward in the windscreen instead of the ‘bars.

The engine update makes slightly less power, but more torque than the previous model, and it's optimised in the low- to -mid ranges, which maxes out a bit higher at 6,500rpm.

If you are a taller rider like I am or spend a bit more time commuting at freeway speeds the Ninja 650L would be the pick in my opinion. The slightly more-upright riding position and extra wind protection is enough to sway my money.

The Ninja 650L is a great real-world bike. Kawasaki has done a great job with it, creating a package for learner/returner/commuter market that will suit more than most riders.

The list of practical rider-friendly features is as good as it is long, inspiring so much confidence and offers strong, reliable performance.

My favorite thing about this bike is the instrument panel, it finally looks grown up but I'm not happy at all they lowered the horse power and made the fuel tank smaller. I like the tank on the previous version better, it just felt like it had just the right size fuel tank size. In doing so, whoever buys this bike will have to fuel up more often.

Using Yamaha's MyRide app it says my lean angles were only a little above 50, yet my friends were saying it looked like my feet were about to hit the ground.. I'm not very confident in trying to lean this bike with the low peg set up.

I have this bike it's been great, had it for 6-7 months ! My only complaint is that I wish it had the liter bike sound !

I think that all it's missing are some panniers.
