Having owned this bike for a year I thought it would be useful to give you an overview of all the things I think about the bike which might help you in your decision as to if to test ride on or not.... The Kawasai Z650 in my opinion is an excellent all rounder which will do most things you ask it to. It's a good price point and comes with some decent kit.
I love this bike and personally the only reason I swapped was due to an increase in motorway work.
Anyway if you have any questions please feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer them.

Absolutely fantastic bike. I had my driver's license course done on this, previously riding on a 125cc bike and I was absolutely amazed on how easy this thing handles. One of the best if not the best bike to pick for a new rider.

I did my test on an early one of these 🙂 Lovely engine and it handled great, but at 6ft2 I found it very cramped after an hour in the saddle and more over, I found the one I rode very vibey - as did the guy I did my test with. I found my hands became numb from the vibrations after about an hour - but I will concede that that might have been due to the bike being fitted with a drop cage. Moving from that to my CBR600f was bliss - the CBR was far smoother and the four cylinder engine was an absolute gem.

I have the 2020 Z650 and Love it for long distance rides. I don't have any problem with the vibrations. It is a parallel motor and these motors run that way.

Has the 2024 Z650 changed in any way compared to the previous iterations and does it command enough road presence to buy one? What’s with the speedometer when you take it down the road? It doesn’t show the speed, but rather a smorgasbord of numbers

Thank you very much for your kind review! It is indeed a lovely bike. I have had mine for two years now and have not had any negative experiences with it. It is very efficient on fuel, as I am doing a lot of commuting in the city and easily get 70-80 mpg.😊

Nice review m8e, it sounds like an awesome all-rounder or great beginner bike. I want to ask though... I've just watched you first ride on the bike, hands shaking, holding on for dear life, low revs, shifting early etc. It's to be expected. My question is this, if you grabbed a handful on day one like you would now, do you think you could have managed the power and acceleration, or do you think you would've panicked and crashed? The reason I ask, I did that. Went full throttle on a nice straight road and came damn close to crashing into a wall at the side of me. I obviously realise now that was a silly thing to do. It took me a while to get used to the performance of a bike, a thing only time and experience will teach. BTW my first big bike was the brand new SV650 black naked in 1999. Awesome bike. For anyone who's about to start riding, don't do what I did. Take you're time. Even a nice gentle beginner bike like an SV650 or Z650 will beat almost any car on the planet to 100mph. Are you ready for that?

So true man - it really is a great bike… personally I think a z650 was the right choice for me personally. It’s a balanced bike with a balanced motor - it can do it all sort of thing.

How would it do for a 2 hr commute? Will it be healthy for it to be going 80-90 for extended times or would it be pushing the motor a little to much?
