Kawasaki Z650 Test Ride | The all new replacement for the ER6N!

[@joeliuscaesar5399]

I like how you talked about something and then showed it with a "pre-recorded" video. Specially liked how you recorded the sound really well and showed us.

[@WeNeedASaga]

thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the smaller details :)

[@panzerd18]

Not to be a safety kill joy, but its good practice to get off your bike when filling up. Love your videos, keep them coming!

[@WeNeedASaga]

yes! good call. I should be less lazy.

[@outie555]

cool bike, and nice of that dealership to partner with you, its a great idea and very mutually beneficial

[@WeNeedASaga]

yeah it's awesome of them hey!

[@Jpw-rcjh]

Outtie I feel like I have the both of both worlds. 2017 ninja 650cc and 2014 dct fully faired ctx700

[@Benjay1975]

Great video, what do you reckon is a better bike this or the MT07?

[@ajmf-hy8qt]

WeNeedASaga ... Grate review ....is this bike really the size of a 250 cc ?

[@doubleayyron2198]

Congrats on the new partnership. Great test as well.

[@WeNeedASaga]

thank you and thank you! :)

[@SamuRiders]

Congratulations on the new partnership mate!

[@WeNeedASaga]

thank you!

[@divadrolyat]

Great unbiased and informative reviews. I’ve been watching reviews about bikes I’d probably never buy just to hear what WeNeedASaga has to say about it...

[@craigmason6656]

Keep up the good work mate. Enjoy watching the test ride clips as always. Is there any chance of commenting on the possibilty of pillion space and rear footpeg heights on future bikes too mate. Cheers.

[@WeNeedASaga]

Good call - that's something that should be fairly easy to add in to the video. I'll try and remember! And thanks for the kind words mate!

[@craigmason6656]

No worries mate. It's just that all other reviewers very rarely mention whether the bike in question has useable pillion space or that the rear pegs are in a decent position. Can't wait to see a review of S1000R one day soon mate.

[@Dallass66]

im still confused not sure if i want to buy a Ninja 450 or a CBR650 as my first bike on Learners

[@ianzunckel7629]

The z650 or the MT 07 - which one would you purchase?

[@Falkon786]

Good review, but I would have liked to have known if the bike can be lowered for short riders. I am based in the UK looking into this bike.

[@TerryBollea1]

havnt watched whole vid yet so I might have another question/comment later, but right up front here, you showed a shot of front wheel, and I dont see the ABS middle disc with the grooves in it. I know it says ABS right there in the shot, but again, I dont see the ABS disc. New tech???

[@theresonly1truth138]

hi, as i know, the bikes in australia do come restricted. the question is how can i unlock what has been locked in an australian originated motorcycle after importing it to my country? thx.

[@WeNeedASaga]

Where are you located? If you have to import the bike, would you be better off importing it from somewhere which offers the full version e.g. the united states?

[@theresonly1truth138]

WeNeedASaga i live in lebanon-middle east. the dealers here bring the European standard and i guess it us the fully unlocked ones.

[@richardx4456]

Is this better than er6n

[@sepuk]

Where you able to fit on the bike and do you think higher seat will help 190cm tall rider?

[@TerryBollea1]

ok, 2nd question...I reeeeaallyyy like the look of the honda 500r. Watched your review of it and all. For first bike, and for a bike im gonna have to keep for a couple years (money), is the 500 really so down on power, that, although I prfer the look, maybe I should go with Mt07, or a similar, higher CC bike?? I do value your opinion. Thanks.

[@jeffreymeesterman5292]

congrats on the partnership! Mainly will be the Lane cove dealership? looking forward to see more of your videos!

[@WeNeedASaga]

thanks mate! yes mostly Lane Cove I'd say - I was introduced to the manager there :)

[@MaverickAus]

Ride the Versys 650 and 1000, bloody awesome bikes.

[@dry509]

What about vibrations at 50-70 mph?

[@PaddyOutback]

Great review mate. Congrats on the partnership. Any plans to review the Kawasaki Eliminator 650S?

[@WeNeedASaga]

Thanks! I think the Eliminator is called the Vulcan here. I can't guarantee it but I'll look into it for you :) Thanks for watching!

[@conhat1]

Can you see if you can get your hands on a 2017 cbr 250rr lams bike

[@WeNeedASaga]

I'd love to! I'll look into it.

[@Random_Tangent]

I had a look to see if you'd reviewed the Honda CB/CBR650F but no :( The non-LAMS version has about 90HP which makes it more powerful than the MT-07 (74HP) that everyone seems to love so much. As for this Z650 I'm assuming the Ninja is much the same except for body positioning.

[@aarnoarnold1973]

Very informative videos, well done.

[@WeNeedASaga]

Henry K thank you! :)

[@thegoon355]

Which do you think is better the z650 or the z900? I'm torn between the two

[@WeNeedASaga]

They're very different bikes - it depends on your intended usage I think Z900: more power, faster, better suspension, better brakes, better performance bike. Z650: cheaper, more economical, better for a beginner/commuter

[@thegoon355]

WeNeedASaga thanks for the reply. Think I'm gonna go for the z900 it look amazing

[@allang1990]

Hey man. Loving your videos! I was wondering is there any chance you could test ride the sol invictus nemesis bike? They look awesome but they haven't been around long and I'm worried about their reliability. Keep up the awesome work man

[@WeNeedASaga]

not sure where you can get those here in Sydney, so I probably won't be able to sorry mate.

[@allang1990]

They've got a dealership in camperdown :) all good man I'll see if I can test ride one when I get my fulls

[@jeremycubs8331]

Not a mention on mpg? maybe it uses water to run lol.

[@damian2001111111]

Thanks

[@LI-ep8zx]

Hi, mate very nice review that's quite useful for me. I'm trying choose one NK bike from Z650 and Suzuki SV650 now. Can you tell me which one is better in the city or relatively same? because I concern the engine overheating problem.

[@WeNeedASaga]

喆 LI glad you liked it. i think both will be relatively the same as far as city goes - both easy to manage and not too much heat. good luck!

[@olsongregory2516]

喆 LI sv 650 its a superb bike and better built in my opinion... Suzuki is my choice as when it comes to performance or value... In this cass you get both

[@kairood8122]

Have you tried with a pillion? Any issues? Thanks :)

[@Fertep]

Year of bike?

[@WeNeedASaga]

2017

[@Hondadctrider]

Honda NC750X/S? Great video, subbed from sunny Scotland (LOL, it's not really sunny).

[@WeNeedASaga]

Scotland! So cool that a Scot is watching! At least you guys are on your way into summer... I'll investigate on the NC750!

[@Hondadctrider]

Lol, thanks. Yeah summer, not that it's that great but as long as it is dry.

[@simonthomas5367]

Here in France, you can drive the 650Z for 2 years on your A2 license with its power restricted to 49 horsepower. After that you have to take another day's training to get your Full license. Then you can simply take it to Kawasaki who quickly remap the motor to de restrict it to 69 horsepower! I'm sure you Ozzies can find a way round the 49 limit........!

[@manmachinelifestyle3746]

honda CB650F please..

[@drogon2988]

27yean?

[@shsjojo]

good vid but camera is somewhat looking up

[@WeNeedASaga]

yes, my bad. I realised when I stopped at the petrol station :( the angle after the petrol station is where I normally shoot it. Sorry about that!

[@Pittsburghpilot]

Why do you call it “zeb” it’s a Z650?

[@WeNeedASaga]

I'm saying "zed". It's what people say in Australia and England instead of "zee".

[@alwayssunnyinsuncity4736]

twenny seveneen

[@WeNeedASaga]

us Aussies can't talk properly

[@alwayssunnyinsuncity4736]

WeNeedASaga lol! I'm just teasing man! Love the content!

[@WeNeedASaga]

All good! Thanks man :)

[@disekjoumoer]

Maybe mention in the title that it's a learner bike?

[@yorta8029]

so you admit its annoying, good for you!

[@KatanaCort]

Weird camera angle.. I don`t want to see the sky with half of the video with uninteressant information..

[@WeNeedASaga]

yeah sorry about that - my mistake.... you can see at 9:30 when I stop at the petrol station I adjust it - that's how it should look...

[@bryancornell6949]

Just so you can improve your videos....when you pause and then begin to speak again, you make a really annoying lip smack noise / throat clear noise. If you are conscious of it than maybe you will stop doing it. Just trying to help so I am able to watch the next video until the end.

[@WeNeedASaga]

Thanks Bryan - that's really helpful

[@johanzh2550]

A bike for dworfs
