2021 Kawasaki Ninja 650 KRT With Akrapovic Exhaust. Test ride. Great bike for new riders!

[@cedricparkinson3635]

Hello Mark, have a '21 Ninja 650 Grey and black. I think this is the best street bike I have ever had and I love everything about it and no gremlins. I am 85 now and even raced MX and scrambles for 12 years and have a garage full of trophies to show for it. I think Kawasaki, has hit the bullseye with this bike. It is the Goldilocks of motorcycles in that it is just right for everyday use. So glad that I discovered it before buying something else. Enjoyed your video.

Hello yes great little bikes. Wow 85 and still riding that’s great. Hope I am still riding at 85 👍

Great review. I have the 2023 Ninja 650 KRT edition w/ABS, love it. I'm 55 yrs old, been riding a bit - and must say that I would have never been inclined to buy this bike until my son got one and had the chance to ride it.

Thanks. Yes they are very nice bikes to ride. Comfortable but still has a sporty look 👍

Hi Mark, I brought my 2022 Ninja 650 performance Pearl White/Carbon Grey July 2022. Fitted with the additional Akrapovic, Pillion Seat Cover, Smoke Screen, R&G frame sliders and Tank Pad. I am now looking at the R&G radiator guard after watching your KZbin. I used to ride 1250cc bikes for commuting, general lane and touring riding, but after years of riding I decided to trade down. This bike fits me just right with the seat height and soft clutch. The curb weight is 2/3rd of the bikes I used to ride. Handling around the lanes is great. The only con is the rear brake. It took me about 300 miles running it in before one could feel it bit. I also found the rear brake pedal has 10mm (0.39") free travel on top of the 50mm off-set to the foot rest. Something I am not used too. However, thanks for your review. Great Bike for new and Old riders.

Hello. Yes they are a great little bike with its nice low seat height. Would recommend to fit a rad guard. A good way to stop a breakdown. Hope you enjoy the bike 😬👍

[@itchingtoride]

Maybe your rear brake needs bleeding if it feels it has a lot of travel.

Thank you. Great video. I think I'm gonna buy one to go with my Benelli 302s 2022.

[@itchingtoride]

Thanks mate. Looking forward to Switzerland 😬👍

I average around 200 miles per tank, 230 when I’m cruising round town

[@Toni62R]

Great review, I like it - and the bike too.

[@itchingtoride]

Thanks 😬👍

[@BlackStagStyling]

Great bike for new riders me thinks 👌

[@itchingtoride]

Yes mate perfect for new riders 👍

[@anthonyrobinson782]

Easy to touch the ground if your the right height not so much much if your a shorter rider

[@gerardforeman5259]

Nice video Mark 🏍🏍👍🏻

[@itchingtoride]

Thanks 👍

[@robertdance7603]

Nice bike. Are you from Norfolk?

[@itchingtoride]

Hello. I am from Suffolk.

[@robertdance7603]

@@itchingtoride I thought so I recognised the roads. Does your wife still have this bike?

[@itchingtoride]

Yes she still has it.

Bad editing. Looks like you accidentally inverted the video as it looks like your driving on the wrong lane

[@itchingtoride]

We drive on the left in the UK. Video looks ok to me. Don’t think there’s any bad editing 😆
