Gotta say that I find the bar being angled slightly towards you being one of my favorite features. Rode an MT07 before the z650 and it's just so much more relaxed getting the bar ever so slightly closer to you.

Great review nick i would say perfect first big bike.

I do love the bike, although I ended up buying the Ninja 650.

My only criticism with Kawasaki is that there is very little accessories available. That said you can find aftermarket accessories, but I often prefer the manufacturer accessories. 😊😊

Try it with the Genuine Kawasaki
Comfort Seat. Sits you a little Higher
And More Leg Room

Wider and flatter bars change the whole feel of this bike, making it a lot more playful

[neilanderson]

I’m just about to pull the trigger on the Suzuki SV650 (or maybe sv650x). The Kawasaki is just as good, just the looks aren’t my bag and there are fantastic deals to be had on Suzuki at the moment

🤨54mpg sounds low given it's weight??? my Vstrom 800 which is 221kg returns 67mpg in mixed A/B roads and town.

[leeinwis]

Are there any bikes for normal sized people ?

[Dr.BenjiBuddy]

It's a great bike, but if you're over 180cm it gets a little cramped. I feel better on an mt07.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But to be serious - u'd better note down some points 4 reviewing, because some / sometimes you skip 🙄 : SERVICE intervals/costs ! FRONT light ( some, actually DO use these things in darkness, and ONE /10000 vloggers mention this point 🤢) ! TC ? CC ( this one you've mentioned ) ? Slipper Clutch ? ....
And forks - upside down = not only good for mounting radial calipers. They do work better 🤷‍♂
Besides all that - the naked bike concept IS more fun than the "touring" ( with big windscreens ). The naked gives a feeling or RIDING A BIKE !!! ... IF you are ready to get all the 🦟🦟🐜🐜🕊🕊🐝🐝🦗🦗all over the visor / in the mouth - on warmer days + freeeezing when it gets chillier 😀
PS - wa-happened to the testing of GUZZI ??! 🤔🤔

I found I could not move around on the seat.

[mariokuppers]

Time to loose weight Nick. Z650 looks so much better than the long and ugly Z900

[aalandk]

why cant they put that beautiful swingarm on the z900 :((
