2019 Kawasaki Z650 Review

[@rreemmllii]

I've already decided that I'm getting this bike, but this video helped me understand the bike a bit more and gave me some vauable information about it, Great video!

[@RichRides]

Thanks and glad you found it useful :)

[@theodoreberbach9562]

I got this as a starter bike, only difference is mine is from 40 years ago, so yeah I got the predecessor of this bike, and surprisingly it rides just as well, I gotta say Japanese engineering don’t fail to amaze even after 4 decades

[@RichRides]

That's brilliant :)

[@geofreyjunsabas2170]

Nice bike i love it kawasaki z650

[@giovanhagar]

This will smoke the one from 40 years ago.

[@hmmmm1995]

A cracking review. Think I'll go see 3D Motorcycle Training and get my licence just for that bike. Thanks Rich

[@RichRides]

Thanks!

[@eshelmen]

Vibrations immediately go away from swapping out the grips. Zero uncomfortable vibrations after that. The seat is the worst part of the bike. Extremely numb butt after just a few hours of riding.

[@RichRides]

Thanks! That's really useful feedback and good to know.

How well can a big man fit on this bike? 6-3 tall and heavy too.

[@RichRides]

I was ok (6ft tall) but maybe a bigger bike would be better for you. The best way is to go try one :)

[@jeremycubs8331]

@@RichRides I agree it's too small for 650 again aimed for beginners in mind

[@RichRides]

@@jeremycubs8331 I think it would suit a lot of people but those over 6ft may find it a little cramped. Definitely great for new riders though as nice and low and not too heavy.

[@jeremycubs8331]

@@RichRides I agree 100%, not saying it's not a great bike coz it is, in fact I like this better than the Mt-07.

[@RichRides]

@@jeremycubs8331 I preferred it to the MT07 too :)

[@billycushion9266]

Kawasaki do supply a tall seat for longer leg riders

[@RichRides]

Thanks for the info Billy, appreciated

[@sundayezra7893]

how much is it because i feel like buying one

[@RichRides]

In the UK they are just over £6k GBP

[@rehone]

Wait til December, January, they sell them off at around 5.5k

[@TopshelfJunior]

@@rehone Good to remember !!! There are so many bikes out here in LA, CA that I see aren't selling well and I'm just being patient, I know the new ones will come out soon...then I can get the one I want for way cheaper !

[@Namsomnia]

Any news on passenger comfort please?

[@RichRides]

I didn't get to take a passenger so can't really comment properly. It only has a smallish rear seat and the passenger would be quite high up like a sports bike though which may not be ideal for longer trips.

[@EngSheng]

The handlebar protector 😲

[@RichRides]

I agree it's not pretty but it definitely does the job. The guys at 3D Training have another identical bike that they've had 3 months and that bike has been dropped 4 times already. No damage to the bike at all and just some scuffs on the handlebar protector so it works :)

[@EngSheng]

@@RichRides that's great 👍
