2021 Kawisaki Z-650 First Ride/Review 

I know people with much larger bikes(myself included) and thoroughly enjoys this bike. It's predictable as you say, not overly powerful, but it's super flickable, easily ridable in cities and heavy traffic and just a blast in the curves. Kawasaki nailed it with this bike. Loving my 2019 Z650.

I bought a few weeks ago the motorcycle version 2022. Good preview! Greetings from Germany, we share all the same passion.

Mine is a 2019 model and it's average fuel consumption is 4.23l/100km. I prefer twisty roads and I wasn't feeling secure on stock Dunlop SportMaxtires if the road was wet. After 8.000kms I switched to Mitas Touring Force which are affordable but so much grippier and confidence inspiring. Similar tires are Metzeller Roadtec 05 and Pirelli Angel GT. Basically, those tires are going to lower the acceleration just a bit but you'll get so much more grip. However, this bike is not a racing machine. Machine is really quiet and it works nice in range from 4.000rpms to 8.000rpm. While cruising on low rpms the machine has that unique sweet quiet relaxing almost hypnotising sound. If you are taller than 6ft/182cm you should probably buy an used z650 or Yamaha mt07 which has wider bars and after 2 years switch to Versys 650 or Suzuki Vstrom 650, Yamaha Tenere 700 or Husqvarna Norden 901. It is possible to install higher seat, wider bar and a bar riser for Z650 but you must consult with professional mechanic because stock front brake, throttle and clutch hoses might be too short. For the first bike it is a great choice besides MT07 because of the linear predictable acceleration, manouverability, economic consumption, excellent manouverability, reliability, low insurance and registration costs.

I was looking at motorcycles as I’m new and it’s funny I came across your channel I work at the mister car wash right bedside freedom power sports 😂

just bought a 22 z650 from that exact Freedom, super cool staff. Love the bike so far. great vid

I love the green wheels

Nice video sir. I’m more convinced to have it as my first bike. Good in city driiving as well.

Definitely a slept on bike, great video!

Good vid bud ...speaking of power...most bikes in the sixties had only 40 to 50 hp. When kawasaki hit 100 hp it was considered ..like going to the moon!..

You're not the only one who's not a fan of the sound. I ride a Z400 and a friend of mine said to me "how many lawns did you mow with that?"

My old 07 ninja 650 hit 127. So that sounds pretty close to top speed. Kawi probably pushing it a few mph.

Tak tak tak

Nice bike ridesafe

IS this bike boring compare to other bikes in the same class?

I just got a 2020 z650 yesterday. Do you think the break in period is need to be really strict?

Tomorrow I am getting the first try on this bike. I have big expectations :)

Lol the common knowledge part got me

When you said (having an opinion is apparently illegal these days) I had to hit the subscribe!

I want this bike for long rides across country. My body aches being hitched over on long trips right now. Getting this next season.

Nice big bike kawasaki z650

New cookies to b declared

Thanks for sharing, I plan on getting a bike next year I've had a yz125 when I was a teenager ,now I'm 52 been wanting to either get this ,or the ninja 400,I'm 5.7 205 pounds, the dealer keeps leaning me towards the ninja 400,is there a big difference in power between the ninja 400 and the z650, I no the price is different especially dealer cost,but hate to get something I'm gonna get board of fast,meaning not rich just to keep buying another bike in 3 years.thanks again for your revews,reviews, a merry Christmas

I bought a 2020 Honda cb300r as my first bike and I’ve had it for over a year , what a great little bike to learn how to ride a motorcycle, but I’m ready for a bigger one and I was thinking about the z650, but I’m undecided between the z650 and the z900 , the z900 is only 1200 more

What its you recommended? Mt-07 or kawasaki z650?

Do you like the z650 or the mto7 more??

Nice 'Kawisaki' right therrr

would you recommend a z650 or a ninja 650 as a first bike?

I looking to buy a Kawasaki z650 or a Yamaha MT07 what do you think is better I’m moving from a 200cc. Thanks bro🤟🏻

U should ride the new Indian ftr

Japanese people are working on mt-07 as we speak ryt now for 2024 ok so let’s go should we wait for it or just ignore

Kawisaki?

Rip inline 4 cylinders for the 600s

“Having an opinion is apparently illegal these days.” Well said.

Juicy sounds.. But THROW A V8 IN THAT Fking yeet it

The Vulcan 650s seems faster

I'm starting to regret buying one of these today. lolz

That bike has no beans!

Common knowledge or Common sense?

Sound crap ...CB 400 golden.

Lol I’m watching the video and I’m saying to myself this bike sounds weird and has no power then I realized I was watching a Z650 video and not a 900

Be a man ,buy an r1
