Gotta say that I find the bar being angled slightly towards you being one of my favorite features. Rode an MT07 before the z650 and it's just so much more relaxed getting the bar ever so slightly closer to you.

Yeah I suppose it adds a sporty feel

I don't mind the bars. They are a little narrow. My throttle hand sits on the bar ends

I do love the bike, although I ended up buying the Ninja 650. My only criticism with Kawasaki is that there is very little accessories available. That said you can find aftermarket accessories, but I often prefer the manufacturer accessories. 😊😊

Totally agree, good choice

Wider and flatter bars change the whole feel of this bike, making it a lot more playful

I’m just about to pull the trigger on the Suzuki SV650 (or maybe sv650x). The Kawasaki is just as good, just the looks aren’t my bag and there are fantastic deals to be had on Suzuki at the moment

@NickandJodie 6 ай бұрын

IMO the Suzuki is better, the engine has more character

@@NickandJodie what about the Hornet 750 ?

Z650rs looks retro like sv650

@TRAIL325 6 ай бұрын

Keep the revs between 5-8k and this thing is a blast keeping the front end light

The SV650 is a great bike. The only issue is the seat is rock hard. Not just a little bit. Like unbareable. My brothers got one and he says has to sell it for that reason. He put nearly 100000 miles on a fireblade and the sv650 is too much for him. I rode it for 15 minutes and thought it was okay. But if you ride a few times a week like he does and a couple hundred miles he says it wears you down until you can't take it no more. He even tried the tuck & roll accessory seat but it wasn't enough. I personally have a z650 and its really comfortable. Only issue you might run into is the tight knees if you're taller than average. Everything else on the SV650 is perfect.

Are there any bikes for normal sized people ?

@NickandJodie 3 ай бұрын

no lol

@farmoboy83 Ай бұрын

what you consider normal sized? The z650 fits my 173cm perfectly which is average or slightly under average on many countries. No all humans are over 180cm and 90kg

I found I could not move around on the seat.

Your are correct, it cups you

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But to be serious - u'd better note down some points 4 reviewing, because some / sometimes you skip 🙄 : SERVICE intervals/costs ! FRONT light ( some, actually DO use these things in darkness, and ONE /10000 vloggers mention this point 🤢) ! TC ? CC ( this one you've mentioned ) ? Slipper Clutch ? .... And forks - upside down = not only good for mounting radial calipers. They do work better 🤷‍♂ Besides all that - the naked bike concept IS more fun than the "touring" ( with big windscreens ). The naked gives a feeling or RIDING A BIKE !!! ... IF you are ready to get all the 🦟🦟🐜🐜🕊🕊🐝🐝🦗🦗all over the visor / in the mouth - on warmer days + freeeezing when it gets chillier ..... 😀 PS - wa-happened to the testing of GUZZI ??! 🤔🤔

If it's of any Use . I have Had my Z650 Since 2020 Service intervals ( after the First 600mile Break in ) Are 7.500 Miles or Every Year It's not a Bad Idea To Sign up For a 3 years Service Plan when You Buy a New Kawasaki If you Can Afford it as it works out Cheaper Valve Check is at a Very Respectable 24,000 Miles I went to Michelin Road 5 Tyres Suited My Z 650 Very well I have Found the Build Quality Good The Pipes Bronze up So have to Get the Solvol Autosol Out often Headlights Brilliant maybe to Much Cars always Flashing me at Night Even on Dip The TFT is so Clear to Read Even in Bright Sunlight
