Im definitely enjoying you guys representing my bike. I also own a 2019 Kawasaki Z650 that I bought it in April 2019 and I love it, the only thing I hate about my bike is the very short gearing; you have to be in 6th gear at 36 mph.

@kongebilj193 3 года назад

Sorry Guys, I own the SV650X since 2018 and I'm touring with my fellas up to 200 mls a day. The handle bar is great, because after a long tour you can change seating position by your arms.

All these guys like an upright position so they're just not used to it, period. Which is fine but they shouldn't use it as a knock on the bike.

I owned a Z650 2018 bought it just 3 months after my first bike a Honda Rebel 500. A year later, pre-ordered the new Ninja 1000SX because my commute is long and i wanted cruise control, and sold the Z. After 9 months with the Ninja 1000SX if i ever have to have just one bike I'd go back to the Z without hesitation.

I am a taller rider 6ft 1. Bought a new 2020 z650, was worried about the height but my legs fit comfortably below the tank, and my feet are in perfect position. The stock exhaust might not sound the best, but personally I think it looks the best out of the bikes in this class as well, and you cant match the price and quality so it was an easy choice! 😊

Get a brand new motorcycle and spend 2 year's with it? The fuck?.... I rode the same bike for 10 years. Wish I could afford more bikes but it's real out here.

You cannot compare them as one is a cafe racer and one is just upright naked. Compare like for like,Suzuki make a naked upright Sv 650 so why not compare that as the seat is better the handle bar height is the same as any naked and hay prestos you have a bike to compare, and it’s much better, I know I’ve owned one for years and loved it so much I am thinking of getting another one.

No matter the bike you choose, you will always realize the opportunity cost of the other bike. No matter what you do, there are days when you feel you made the wrong choice. I also feel that in this class of bike, it’s a compromise, and most people have settled - it’s not a Hayabusa. I would like to have one of these because these are more like the Toyota Camry of bikes, and I’m a rather bland fellow. I would need frame sliders - and training wheels - big windshield - deer whistle - touring trunk...

I had a similar decision to make. I am 187cm with 36" legs. Learned on a Z650, was testriding an Mt-07, Duke 790, KTM SMCR and a Z900. I bought a used Z900. Price was also good since the 2020 Model was released this year and the only difference is the TFT Dash I do not care for and a slightly lighter frame. Got myself a 2017 Model with only 2500 miles on it and I love it.

I thought long and hard between the z650 and z900 as price difference was around $500 only on the two I looked at -- in the end the smaller size of the z650 won me over.

So my friend and his wife have an mt07 and a z650. Of the two I've only ridden the mt07 (which I loved, coming from an mt09 owner) but the second i sat on the z650 I was blown away with how tiny it was. Because it is SO narrow and the tank is so short it FEELS smaller than my old ninja 300 even if the seat height might be slightly taller. Definitely my first recommendation for the shorter folks out there. I hated the shape of the handle bars though. Too much rearward sweep and a little too narrow for me, but again if you're a smaller build they might feel more appropriate.
