You are so right. The atmosphere and feel I get from the dealership and personnel often is the make or breakpoint on a purchase. Another great review!

Great review, great easy going style, subbed! As for the Z500 if they haven't changed it much from the 400 that's no bad thing. When I tried the earlier bike i found a brilliant light and flickable chassis that was also super stable. The engine, especially after the wheezy Z650, felt light on it's feet and peppy, much more so than the Honda but i suspect that was the lack of mass at play. The only downside was that it was a little cramped, I'm 6'2" and with size 12 feet, that exhaust made it next to impossible to have my right foot in a natural position. Who knows, a different can might be all it needs to be a perfect sub 500cc do it all bike. Two thumbs up! :)

It’s funny to think that this is Kawasaki’s small bike now. It used to be the Ninja 250, then 300, 400 when they added the naked, now 500.

I'm looking at moving to Germany from the U.S. is motorcycle insurance and registration generally higher than the U.S. is it realistically feasible to own a big adv bike and a dual sport there?

Is that really a 1 piston rear brake caliper? It looks big enough to be a 2 POT.

Wish a few other companies would learn the weight loss lesson from Kawasaki. Royal Enfield, are you listening?

Nice starter bike, or bump up to the Z650 if you can get hold of a Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 I would be interested in your take.

How was the leg comfort at your height? Was it cramped ?

@NothingToProve 5 ай бұрын

Yea, a little bit.

@monjan0017 5 ай бұрын

Preferred the KTM machines a bit pricey but with better and clearer display, less weight also.

This is a damn fun bike on country roads! But it gets very buzzy at 120km/h, so I turned it down....

@@efedinc6413 yeah, because the intention was to use it for commuting using highways. But it is still a great thing for people not doing that!

@mikaelpettersson2389 5 ай бұрын

@@efedinc6413 yes, it's good for driving at speeds up to 100km/h, preferably on curvy mountain roads, where it really excels! But not for longer distances at high speed. I bought a Moto Guzzi V7 instead, and with this one I can effortlessly drive for hours on the highway, and also country roads. But on the contrary it gets sluggish in city traffic. But for my driving scheme, it's better.

Love your honest reviews 👍 How can they call a 451cc bike a 500... rather misleading 🤔

@deanzaZZR 5 ай бұрын

How does Kawi market the 1047cc Ninja 1000 (SX whaterver they are calling it these days) as a 1000 is rather misleading. How can they do that?

@keltonjohnson6197 5 ай бұрын

It’s not misleading considering it’s in the same class as the Honda CB500F/CBR500R which are the main competitors to this bike. CBR500R is closer to a 450 than a 500 (it has 471cc) so… just like this Kawasaki they rounded up from 450 to 500… so what’s the big deal?
