I had a 2015 650 Ninja and loved that bike. I could travel 200 miles at a time and it was a breeze. can't do that on my ZX6R. Seriously thinking about getting another 650 Ninja for the long runs. ZX6R still staying in the stable that's my race horse.

Is a 2017 gonna be better for a first bike or a 2020 onward? I know there’s differences in the dashboard and some other things. Unsure of which years have what or rather when each thing was added so I can narrow down which year is for me. Gonna have it for the long run when I get one some day asap

I'm 38, I bought a sv650 2 years ago after 10 years off the road from riding sportbikes. Best money I've spent in a long time. Will be buying a versys650 next year. These 650s are perfect for commuting.

Torn between the Ninja 650 or the Z650 for my next bike. I have a Z400 now. The 650 has enough HP for me, I just want something a little more stable with better quality for commuting and occasional weekend light touring. I am slightly cramped on the 400. I always enjoy your reviews. Very thorough and entertaining.

​@@RayBowdenRides I ended up buying a 40th anniversary SE 500 but it gets here in 2-3weeks (interstate as none left so that was an extra $1000). The original plan was to buy two as the Mrs will ride. I think the 2025 bikes are due in late October November. That's why I'll put deposit now for the krt 650 like yours. It was a nightmare finding that 40th anniversary SE but I only found out about them a month ago

I still will buy this bike 650 its perfect for commuting .. I have gixxer 600 I will keep.. but a ninja 650 will be on my garage as well .. when I get new bikes one thing I always do is eliminate the horn and add garage door opener as my horn switch .. who uses a horn on a motorcycle. No one .. so I always make it useful.. nothing better then coming home and hit the horn switch and see your garage open :)

@dejuanmills77 Ай бұрын
@@jamesgeorgevellavella1961 Right, I think I am leaning more towards the CF Moto 450SS, I think it’s the best option in my opinion. The reasoning behind this is that it is more-so much powerful that the Ninja 500/is the same power wise. But, I think it would make sense to get the CF Moto 450SS because of all the features that you can get, without upgrading to the SE model like you would with the Ninja 500. Plus, I would get it tuned for a 10% power increase, and the cool thing is, it has security features that aren’t typically seen in/on other bikes, like GPS tracking and notifications when the bike is touched. I’m a huuuuuuge fan of Kawasaki and Suzuki, and you can say Honda too, but Ray made a great point to me that matters the most; it’s mentioned in this video. For the price point of the CF Moto 450SS, it makes total sense. But, I would upgrade to a Kawi later down the road. It’s been a long thought process and reviewing tons of different books on KZbin, and especially sitting on many different bikes. I think if/when I upgrade, it’ll probably be a Kawasaki Ninja 650, or the GSX8R. The GIXX8’er is super comfortable and comes with tons of features, I sat on this bike at Plano Kawasaki, so they’ll definitely get my coins, and dollar bills. That place is motorcycle heaven.

Bro, I did the same thing, but I love that anniversary livery, so after I purchased the new 500, I found a used 2020 KRT 650 with only 450 miles for $6200, saved quite a bit from buying a new one, no reason why you can have both!

Is it worth 3000 more beans than the 500?
@phillipd33znuts
@phillipd33znuts Ай бұрын
No way. If you’re a beginner just start on the 500, if you wanna spend an extra 3k for this, you might as well save a little more for the zx6r.

The Ninja 650 can be heavy, less powerful than sportier models, and less comfortable for long rides.

Some of these questions & Comments get you thinking, sometimes some of my thoughts are not the best if you know what I mean. You know my dad use too tell me that's why God gives you two EARS, So you can listen twice as much as talking- he'd Say - Son you sound like a Dipstick 🤣. Have a great weekend my friend!! I really can't down anyone- because I've Said and done some not so smart stuff for Sure.

@RayBowdenRides Thanks, mate 👍 When the 2025s arrive down here, I'll be at the Kawasaki agency for a test ride. Man, that green brings back some memories. I might have to get a new black visor, I think the sun reflection from my smile might be blinding 😀😃😄
