So long as you’re careful I’ve been ok so far but I only ride in the wet if I’m forced to

I have a muffler on the go pro (attached to my chin) so it cuts out a large portion of the wind noise so you can hear the exhaust better

@@fayesout2540 Thanks

I’ve never ridden a 400 but before I had my license I didn’t think I would go any higher than 400s but I trained on a 650 and now I’m looking at 1000s! Is there a particular reason for looking at the 400 instead of the 650?

@@fayesout2540 The only reason I was looking at the z400 is b/c there's a strong consensus to not start on anything greater than a 600cc at least in regards to sport bikes, whether naked or faired. Reviews of the Honda CB500F describe it as good but unexciting, and the performance of MT03 seems a little anemic in comparison to the Z400, though it's very high quality in all other aspects. I don't really aspire to ride anything bigger than 650cc, though, and it would be more cost efficient to buy the z650 as opposed to buying the z400, selling it, then buying the Z650. Kawasaki's website states that the Z650, Vulcan S 650, and the Versys 650 are all new rider friendly, but those latter 2 aren't sport bikes, so their new rider friendliness probably doesn't translate to the Z650.

@@robertocojones4471 I would personally recommend getting the 650. Like you say it’s cost effective and you’ll fall in love with it. The speed is there but only if you want it to be

@@fayesout2540 Much obliged. What are your thoughts on initially running it in rain mode for at least a few months? Would that make it more new rider friendly? Also, by about how much does rain mode reduce its power?

Thank you for letting me know, I’ll work on that when I can get back onto the bike 😃

I’m glad it helped! I really struggled to find cons with the Z to be honest but I’m researching into potentially getting a Honda CB650R. I love how aggressive it looks but the Z is such a decent and reliable bike!

I am 5ft 4 😊

They’re great the 650s. I’m not sure if the US was the same but the UK stopped making 400s for a while because the 650s could be restricted and modified but Kawasaki has bought them back in the 2023 range and I must say the look 👌🏼

Merry Christmas ❤️

Around 50 ish mpg, it all depends on how you ride but comfortably you’ll get between 50-52 😁

I would still 100% recommend it, I’ve done a couple of videos on the bike on this channel

This bike is perfect for beginners, this is the bike I trained on for my full license so I would 100% recommend it

Definitely 650, the power is phenomenal and it can keep up with the 900/1200. I feel like the 900s cruise at 100mph to easily

Thank you! I use the Go Pro Hero 9 and a chin mount that attaches to the front of the helmet We learnt on the z’s so it was a naturally choice because we couldn’t test ride anything else. I’ve heard the MT-07 and SV are good bikes

Thank you friend! God bless!

Tigers look lovely, I haven’t ridden one before but hopefully one day!

@@fayesout2540 I don't know how dealership rules work in your part of the world but maybe try out a test ride. That's how I ended up with my tiger.

@@Crazy-Chicken-Media we have to have our license for a year before most dealerships will let us test ride. It’s a shame really because I’ve been riding for years but it’s been on a provisional license and not an A license so I have to wait until next year!

@@fayesout2540 that's too bad, just know your motorcycle license works in America, have you ever find yourself in our neck of the woods go to any dealership, test out whatever bike you want. From a Grom to a r1000rr-r

We love cleaning the bikes, even the smallest amount of dirty is cleaned off

Hi Jon that was an example of me going wrong on my route so the full video was my mistakes and luckily the full route I done 😊

@@fayesout2540 ok I had my mod 2 Tuesday Andy took me around bourn I think through Camborne it was a nice. I also passed 😆

@@Jon.883 congratulations! Which Andy did you have? I had motorbike Andy for mine

There are so many good bikes out there! we trained on the Z for our license so it felt natural to get them. My next bike I’m thinking of getting the CB650R next but I love mine so much I’d hate to see it go!

It was just under £8000 but there are options in England to finance or PCP them 😁

You’re 100% right, the visibility was awful that day! I don’t tend to go out on days like that but it didn’t seem to want to break in the week. I hope you’re well! God bless

Faye I assume once you got to that closed road it wasn’t your test route?

It took a while for us to find ours to be honest 😂
