Kawasaki Z650 (2020) Review | So much more than a beginners bike? 

I have a 2020 model and absolutely love it. The power to weight ratio and the agility make it tons of fun to ride. I'm 5ft 11 and swapped for the taller seat too.

Awesome review 🤟❤️

I think Kawi has the best and most complete looking naked bikes

Nice review.. is there any difference in term of performance from the previous version?

Good review

Re air temp: Considering that all modern have to read the air temp for the fuel mix, it seems nuts to leave that function off the display.

awesome video

nice improvements in design over the old model, and i thought the old model looked good too.

I was bred on BSA 650 Hornet, so the power of my Ninja 650 is entirely adequate. I really like the slipper clutch and gear position indicator, but I yearn for ride by wire throttle, and traction control on my 765RS and SuperSport 939

Gostei do canal, muito bom !!

is there any Bluetooth connection with the TFT screen ?

Excellent review!

The Best 650cc class bike!

How is the vibration through the bars? The parallel twins can be buzzy beasts....I know, I used to own a '17 Ninja 650 and it made my hands go numb.

People saying about the rear guard, licence plate, tail tidy is your friend lol. That said, great bike.

Спасибо 👍

It boggles my mind why Kawasaki insists on putting crappy tires on their budget bikes. These tires may be an improvement on what they initially offered but when I bought a 2017 z900 it came with Dunflop d214. I considered them as dangerous and replaced them at 1500 miles and they still had all their tread. And I'm the type to ride a tire to their bitter end. I bought Conti Road Attack 3 and it felt like a different bike.

Hello - does it come with a gear indicator on the screen? Not that it matters but a nice to have Thanks

Review form a 165cm swedish dude: Had mine since 2017 too 38000+ km (i regret never getting a new exaust after hearing your bike). You dont need more power on the road. Riding with people on sports bike who are "How the fuck can you keep up" ...(of course you are not keeping up on a straight, but who cares..).. well we are on twisty roads and you use 50% of our bike and I might use 80% of mine and I am not really pushing it... I changed my bar position too a bit higher too feel more one with the bike. I guess its because i've been riding motocross all my life. Love the bike and been doing camping trips like. 2000+ km and 10days+ camping trips through Norway and if u dont have some decent bike shorts you are going to have a bad time. Again I love the bike but it is time to upgrade. I am now choosing between a adventure bike or a sports bike and I dont know what to do..

You should do a ride video this bike with a 70's / 80's Kawasaki kz650 the bike that started Kawasaki sports bike

Upgrade the tires to sport touring like Mitas Touring Force or Pirelli Angel GT for better mileage and grip but these will reduce the mpg but improve the confidence. The clutch is absolutely fantastic. I like riding it on twisty roads. I would suggest upgrading to a little bigger windscreen for this bike because the stock one doesn't provide good wind protection at speeds higher than 100km/h. Mine is a 2019 tourer version and it's surely a nice bike. Nothing much but it is a good choice for new riders. If you're taller than 182cm and if you ride long distances you should go for a bigger bike. Sometimes I feel fatigue in lower legs becasue of such tight ergonomic.

I notice when you were scrolling through the TFT screen (08:59) it showed the average litres used per 100 kilometers was 7.6. According to my maths, 7.6 litres is 1.672 Imperial gallons and 100 kilometers is 62.137 miles, which gives an average fuel consumption of 37.16 imp mpg. As it stated your average speed was only 18kmph (11.18 mph) you weren't exactly thrashing it, so why the high fuel consumption?

Very nice head very nice lcd screen

Please do ninja 650 2020

This or the Benelli 500 leonceli trail?

z650 = 68hp right?

Would I fit on this? I’m 6’3. Just totaled my 19 Harley and can’t afford another one. I had a nasty experience.

is this really a beginner's bike?

6:55 are there 2 LEDs already burnt out?

This or the suzuki s750????

I’m shopping for a new bike. I haven’t rode in about 4 years. Last bike was a 600 supersport. I’m considering the Z650, Z900, mt 07, and the cb 650r. The Z650 engine just seems boring to me.

Nice to ride i think 💙, but also looks to me budget,.. how the bolts holding the forks are not inside.......

Holy fucking shit! Im starting to look into bikes because I want to drive one to Spain soon, to the same exact spot you're driving this at: Tossa de Mar! I could tell by the look-out spot at 0:34 seconds lol.. this is so creepy as its literally the first video I click for the first bike im researching. Is it.. meant to be?

Kawasaki is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needs better audio balancing. The difference between your narration and the music is extremely high and it's great at waking up my house mates when it switches from you talking to the music. :/

First thing we do in America Fender Eliminator

But he the alpha dog move s like this

Why is he the alpha dog , figure it out for yourself

Fuel consumption not so good, luggage capacity looks limited, pillion seat hardly adequate . A nice looking bike but not for serious motorcyclist
