Exploring the details of Kawasaki's lineup for 2025

[@BlakesPipes]

Speed of vocal cadence was really good. Consistent information on each bike. Great video for people that want to see each bike. Which getting a photo of each one took the most time to gather. Well done sir.😊

[@cruisinwithphil]

Thanks!

[@markmclendon5834]

Great job!

[@ronwarber9359]

Sorry to hear that they dropped the Concours, all they had to do was put cruise control on it.

[@luiscardozo0000]

cruise control in a bike is ridiculous thats staff is for cars

[@ronwarber9359]

@@luiscardozo0000 not when your 70 and still doing long distance riding like 500 mile days

[@evilwestsidefan9249]

​. I agree never had cruise control I have a 2015 concours 14 love it and the heated grips I also have a 97 vulcan 800 classic both a lot of fun

[@ERidesOn2]

Cruze control is great. Who doesn't like giving your right hand a break without the worry of being rear ended. Once you've had it you'll never want to be without.

[@EvMc305]

You haven't tried it or only cruise 50 miles at a time​@@luiscardozo0000

[@dj_Samurai]

Didn’t know they discontinued the 400.. don’t own a bike but wanted the 400 because it seemed beginner friendly.. I guess I’m getting that 2021 red 400 and cherishing it even more now 😅

[@carybarron4344]

The H2SX SE model is also supercharged just like the Ninja H2. It’s just slightly detuned to make it a sport touring bike

[@Ian-bq7gp]

The KX450 sounds great. I know the old KX500 was a 65bhp wildcat of a machine bit like the early 400 suzuki scrambler from 1970. That was a widowmaker, a peaky unrideable mental motor.

[@omnivore2220]

My wish list; simpler, more basic, more reliable long-term. I hate having a bike that could clearly go another 50K miles but cannot do it because of its failing, fragile, over-complicated electrical systems that literally no one on Earth, not even the designers, can troubleshoot.

[@julianlimakuleshov9795]

Vulcan S650 it’s in my wish list for the foreseeable future 👆🏽🤩👌🏽🤙🏽

[@evelyndanforth8346]

I bought a 2019 vulcan 650 a few years ago and absolutely love it. It's peppy for a cruiser and has nice handling. The seat people seem to either love or hate (I plan on getting a corbin) and the throttle is suuuuper touchy in 1st. (I'm installing a booster plug in the spring that will fix that) I think it's a great bike that is very reliable and have had no mechanical issues at all. I plan on putting a little into upgrades over the next few years, but with its price point, I think that's a better option than buying a more expensive bike. The exhaust is....well....maybe something I'll swap out as well lol.

[@julianlimakuleshov9795]

Thanks for all the information. I totally agree with all the negatives you mentioned in your comments. I just wanted to add that one of the first upgrades I would make is to add a radiator cover. Also get rid of that front halogen light. There’s better products out there. And 101% get a fender eliminator kit. I’m not fan how the rear tail light covers the majority of the tire. This is just my opinion, to each their own. After I would make small upgrades here & there to make the bike look to my liking. Once again thx for sharing your thoughts and feedback. Like the slogan says Let the GOOD Times ROLL. 🤙🏽👌🏽👊🏽🙏

[@djoy3244]

What no one seems to realize is that people no longer ride because it's too expensive. I used to be able to get a good size bike for cheap to get started. And a fully dressed touring bike for less than a cheap car. Now, a starter bike is a mini moto, and a touring bike costs more than a Cadillac.

[@rogerthat1553]

I like the upgraded ninja and versys to an 1100cc with more mid range grunt. Now if Kawyee can do a make over on the 650 twin engine, using a stroked 270 degree crank and maybe even boring it bigger to 700+cc

[@Ian-bq7gp]

AJP PR7 is beautiful but a stronger motor thats simpler would be good especially for adventure travel. Those Honda 700 and 750cc twins that last so long and do brilliant mpg is a winner as bikes are ridden by some who are not well off enough to run a car.

[@markjaycox8811]

What "BlakesPipes" says is 100%. For me to ride a Kawasaki, it'd have to be the Track only H-2, and I'd buy 10 of them to use at my own private Motorsport Park. It's something to do if I ever get 100 million dollars.

[@JohnGrumbling]

Had one briefly, only safe(barely) in a straight line.

[@markjaycox8811]

@@JohnGrumbling I had the prototype Honda Gold Wing from inside back cover of CYCLE Magazine December 1973 to 188MPH before the handlebars nearly shook me to my death, in the summer of 1974, before the 1st production bikes were offered to the public in August 1974, as the 1975 Honda Gold Wing MSRP $2695. I got mine in SILENT AUCTION IN APRIL 1974 @ CYCLEWAY IN NY MILLS NY, bidding $3,500. In the summer of 74 before August, I was the only rider riding the only Honda Gold Wing in the USA. I AM THE FATHER GOLD WING RIDER.

[@markjaycox8811]

@@JohnGrumbling I stood on the pegs of my prototype Gold Wing, with my balls just beneath the handlebars, resting comfortably on the smooth surface of the gas tank, my head directly over the front tire, and when I popped the clutch, the RPM's were at 10,500, and I shot out like a pinball bouncing 1st off the left curb just feet in front of the Boss 429 Mustang I was drag racing on the Parkway in Utica NY, AND THEN, to the right curb, where I bounced straight and true leaving a monster Mustang to eat my dust. THEN I SHIFTED.

Waiting on the Z1300 retro

[@Ian-bq7gp]

The tech and performance and reliability for the price is amazing but bikes are too complex and servicing is too expensive. The old 1976 z650 custom i jad was fast, bulletproof and i paid £375 for one with 25000 miles on it. A really solid inline 4 with mikuni slide carbs and 67bhp. I could take it 1000rpm into the red band at 10500 rpm and it gaveno problem apart from ignition coil packing up. wish i still had it despite speed wobbles pushing it trying to scrape exhaust and wheelie. That cost me a months wagesin a fine . Ouch and a 3 month ban. That was in 1983 i think. Mad fun times at Box hill with bikersmeeting sundays racing along the mad mile with cops not amused.

[@djoy3244]

They need to reintroduce the ninja 300.

[@eddiejames2905]

Kawasaki should offer more color choices

[@BrianSmith-ql5nj]

Versys 250? Versys x 300 color choices?

[@jeffhicks1008]

I own a 22 KLX 300 SM and I like the looks and stance of the bike but I am not to impressed with the 25 models they don't look like a super moto should. Kawasaki should just keep the older look and upgrade the suspension and the display like adding what gear you are in and a blinking light for low fuel not the word "fuel" blinking over the trip miles you have traveled , another words just redesign the whole gauge display.

[@GPz84]

The H2 SX SE is supercharged.

[@marcocycles411]

I’ll take the Vulcan vaquero

[@jonathanhumphrey3026]

The Ninja 650 does not weigh 480 pounds. It weighs 419 pounds

[@cruisinwithphil]

Hmm, you're right. I wonder how I messed that up. Trying to keep track of too many details, I guess.

No it’s supercharged

[@luiscardozo0000]

i dont understand why kawa make the vulcans thats terrible

[@ellwoodwolf]

I like the z900rs, but they insist year after year of old ugly retro themed paint... I don't want urine or feces colors on my motorcycle, it doesn't look like "gold" ... "Root beer" ..... After their acid green 18/19 cafe ... Pretty much lame color ways

[@MrLove-666]

For the like of me.. I love Kawa.. but they can't even make an exhaust FULL BLACK FFS!!! TheZX-10R looks is tarnished just bec of that huge chunk of metal colour.. it's for 2025, come on and UP your game! Even Harley Can do it, stop being lazy! *And no, aftermarket aren't supposed to fill in for your lack of good work. If they can, so can you! Just like your ugly-too long zx-14r exhaust it's BLACK!, your Vuclan too!! so you can do it!

[@pinkiewerewolf]

I love Kawasaki, I have owned a few and still have several in the grage. But... The VERSYS are the ugliest motorcycles in current production. Thank goodness the rest of the lineup is so strong that the VERSYS isn't missed.

[@luiscardozo0000]

its not that bad if you compares to vulcans thats real ugly staff
