Why This 2024 Kawasaki Ninja 650 Is The Best Beginner Motorcycle

[@bomby69]

There’s also the KRT edition paint.

[@emadreviews]

I’ll pin your comment. You are right the KRT is a color scheme that’s available on this bike.

[@Hero_Fighters]

There is also the red and black 40th anniversary edition

[@Abhi_Venky]

@@emadreviews The KRT edition is also practically good for new riders to be spotted easily on a big green machine in busy traffic ;)

650 is not just a beginner bike it is a great motorcycle. Don’t get rid of it if you’re thinking of trading up, just keep it!

Can’t go wrong with the 650! Ride safe.

[@AnthonyNichol-yp1yt]

Get a yoshimura slip on it sounds awesome 👌, u will love it

[@bfarm44]

Started my street career on the 1985 600r Ninja and I have it still. I didn’t die. I respected the bike and built my skills. The only time I ever dropped it was at a stand still when the front wheel went into a small pothole that turned it sideways facing downhill. Been through a lot of bikes in 40 yrs but this would be a good choice at this point. Love the paint and the seat hight the old back ain’t what it used to be. I honestly don’t see anything I’d change from stock including the exhaust which is rare for me but a gold tinted windscreen would be swapped out to complete the Master Chief look

[@TheMcC07]

A Ninja 650 was my first bike. I still miss it, it was a fun ride.

[@emadreviews]

Would you preferred to have started on a Ninja 300? Or do you think the 650 was perfect?

[@TheMcC07]

I thought the 650 was perfect. It had the right balance of power and agility. @@emadreviews

[@TheMcC07]

If you have self control and throttle discipline, a 650 should be fine. @@jareddior9909

[@ulyssesdelamora3856]

​@jareddior9909 did you get a bike yet?

[@BlackArroToons]

Good points, thanks. I enjoyed riding freeways and roads for 15 years on the Ninja 250s, where they could keep up with traffic and pass it often as needed. The only weakness was going up hills, where it needed momentum if going to pass other vehicles at a good pace. Moving up to the '21 Ninja 650, it would have absolutely gotten me into trouble if it was my first bike, as the power is much greater than my 250s and I was saved by them for having less power a few times when speed would've gotten me into big trouble with road enforcement or road conditions. I agree, for public roads where rules are set, the Ninja 650 excels and is a great motorcycle, agile, fuel efficient, long-lasting and fun to ride.

[@ranrefael]

I've been riding 250cc & 300cc for 15 years, 0 accidents 0 scratches. Never got into a trouble I needed to escape with speed. Don't ever take advice from a fast rider, especially one that's trying to sell you one. Everything on the road will get you off the bike when you go fast: running cat, running dog, pothole, broken chain, rubber from a car's tire and the list goes on... try escaping that with speed. Whatever you choose to ride with, just stay safe and ride smart

[@googleuser2353]

Some areas have higher drug use, alcohol, and erratic driving in general. I’m not sure if you’re from America but it has some of the worst roads and drivers in the world. If you’re stopped and see a vehicle coming full speed right at you, time and speed go hand and hand. 250cc and 300cc are just fine for some people but if you’re more than a seasoned rider who rides across the country, you would understand the practicality of getting up to speed.

[@LuisLona33]

I got this bike on the first of February and love this thing!

[@jeyson2000]

Can confirm, I’m 6 months into owning my 2024 ninja 650 - it’s incredible. Buy it.

[@ChickenMeister84]

I've gone on a binge of motorcycle reviews, honda cb650r, mt 07, triumph trident 660 and so on, and you are making me want to buy this bike because your review is so much fucking better.

[@emadreviews]

Thanks for watching! I’m glad this video was of small help in picking the right bike for you. Ride safe!

[@danielgaughran-vazquez2018]

It only revs to about 8000rpm so it gives up the ghost at the top end. And in my opinion, it sounds like a 125. I wanted a ninja 650 but now I’ve diverted my search for CBR650Rs or CBR650Fs

[@MrB590]

​@danielgaughran-vazquez2018 yeh but it's got the low to midrange torque

[@ChucksterJax]

It's not just this review. Every review of this bike I have watched on KZbin by experienced riders give it top ratings.

[@BlackArroToons]

Nice review of the 2024 Ninja 650. I have a '21, and a fun bike overall and fully capable on freeways and backroads too. I graduated up from the Ninja 250s, which I had a blast with for 15+ years of riding, again on freeways and backroads. This has that extra power I was hoping for though going up hills, which it handles without any struggle, compared to my prior traded in 250s. But I'll say, if you're not in a race, the Ninja 250 is a ton of fun for many years in my opinion too.

[@GripEngineering]

Bike DOES have range estimate, easily accessed by left bar "down" button. Scrolls through 5 or 6 parameters. (Also accessed by right side button of TFT, which is all you had before '23 model got traction control and selector button.)

[@emadreviews]

I’ll adjust the score. You are right!

[@dillonduty9769]

Idk why they put traction control on this bike. I own a 22 and have never spun the back wheel without trying. This is a perfect bike for a beginner or someone wanting fun/cheap transportation. As a beginner, this is great weekend toy. For an experienced rider, it’s cheap/fun transportation. Owning one, I can say this is a great video representing the bike.

[@bfarm44]

I’ve only ever found it handy in the rain. 40 yrs of riding never needed anything like that but after a long wet ride you get sloppy when tired so that’s when I find it handy. Things like gear indicators and antilock brakes never existed hell we had to swish the tank back and forth to figure out how much gas we had. I have still not found a use for a gear indicator anywhere off the track

[@zacharykirkham9481]

i only ride i am going from an r3 to this mostly to build credit while i save the cash to get a zx10r for the track but also the traction control helps in the rain and on ahit utah roads

[@astrothebeardeddragon959]

I just ordered mine in this same color!! Can’t wait! 10k out the door and that was with a 3 year warranty and $1000 off promo.

[@emadreviews]

[@EddieOklang]

Bought 2022 ninja as my retirement gift for myself. My ever 1st owned bike.

[@PopsRacer61]

Excellent review! I agree with 99% of what you said, except I absolutely hate the look of the stock muffler but I won't change it because I like quiet bikes, and hate the sound of the exhausts that fit on this bike. I've had mine since 2018 and absolutely love it ! I been riding since 1985 (62 yo).. most of which were 600 & 750cc track bikes. I may invest in the upcoming Ninja 7 in 2024 as a novelty to add to my stable. ( a Hybrid built on the Ninja 650 and 400 platform )

[@emadreviews]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Wraithii]

I've had my 2009 Ninja 650 since 2012. Still runs great, and it's comfortable. Was a fantastic beginner bike with enough power to have fun and get out of situations like you said, but not so much that I could really get in tons of trouble as a young 17/18 year old. Only downside of mine I'm glad Kawasaki has changed is you have to basically take the majority of fairings off to change the oil on mine. I still have it keep around for nostalgia and fun relaxed rides now. Great review!

[@AnthonyNichol-yp1yt]

Yeah I just got a 2014 and love it, such a good all rounder , mines got a yoshi slip on so I love the sound of the little crackle

So dope that you’re in the Bellevue area. I was debating on getting this bike at Bellevue Motorsports so it’s cool to see you test drive around where I live haha

[@Rmachine429]

Enjoy your reviews (most notably - this one and the GSX 8R)! I would note that the Ninja is not just for beginners, I'll be 57 this year and have had a few bikes in my lifetime. I am now selling my 2018 Vstrom 650 so I can reduce my inventory to a bike of 1 (garage space limitations etc), that being my current 2023 Ninja 650 KTR edition w/ABS. Fun bike with plenty of zest, enough not to get into trouble. I have honestly considered swapping for the 8R but not sure I'm yet convinced (love the quick shifter and reversed front forks, the HP and torque - but is it enough to part ways with the reliable and venerable Ninja 650. Keep up the great work!

[@farmoboy83]

i am annexperienced rider and after selling a 2005 sv650 i am torn between me 3 bikes, z650, hornet 750 or gsx8s. z650 looks the best, its the cheapest in my country but i am just affraid 68hp isn't enough even though i am a relaxed rider and daily use a 27hp scooter.

[@Rmachine429]

@@farmoboy83 I think the Ninja 650 has adequate power - it's a lot of fun on the road. IMO the downside is the vibration effects once you are at 5,000 rpm and above for sustained periods (highway speeds for longer duration). I can do btw 1.5/2 hrs of highway speeds and then need a break. I think it just comes down to what's most important to you, how you intend to ride most of the time and what bike fulfills those needs and fits you best.

[@raymundlouiejosephlj7167]

the throttle vibrates like crazy tho! specially in high revs. Tried the Moto 650 and the comfort is night and day. But that bike is heavy and the very torquey

[@JagoTFC]

We really needed a Doug Demuro biker twin. I got my Z650 2023 in september, I'm very happy with it. First bike ever at 39 years old. Though I'm more of a commuter I couldn't resist remapping and changing the exhaust. It was really painful to me because the original exhaust was glorious. The roadsitalia special isn't on par but is sounds far better. Now the map tells me something. This engine hides it's power, because without even trying if you accelerate in 2nd gear it wants to look at the sky and good thing I still use it on KRTC2 because it lifts the tire without me even trying to do a wheelie, as I am not experienced enough and also not that much of a daredevil.

[@emadreviews]

Great that you started riding. Better late than never!! Stay safe.

[@jayholley5880]

[@MotoRide.]

Had ER6n as a first bike for 10 years. It was awesome.

[@ragimundvonwallat8961]

i think the er6/z/ninja is the cb750 of its era ,its just good and they could keep making em forever

[@Diemerstein]

I have a Ninja 400, ZX6R and a VFR800, been riding for decades with many miles under my belt. The Ninja 300 is a bit under powered for sure, but that is not the case for the 400. I did a ECU flash, exhaust and velocity stacks and that increased the power of the 400 by 25%, I have no problem hitting 130mph on the 400 and it's quick, nimble and very agile. I find my self riding the 400 more than all my other bikes and it's a lot of fun.

[@emadreviews]

Although that is very true that a Ninja 400 can be modified to become a different animal, but I imagine doing all that to a Ninja 400 will just ending up costing you more than just buying this bike. Again I’m only looking at it financially here.

[@Diemerstein]

@@emadreviews No it wouldn't, I'll break down my cost. My 2023 Ninja 400 coast me $4750 on sale from my local dealer while selling the 650 for $8200, price difference was $3450. The ECU Flash cost me $250, the stacks from Graves was $130, everything else done always get done when you buy a new bike, no one leaves the stock exhaust and almost everyone does things like a tail tighty. I still came out ahead by $3000 while having a lighter more nimble bike and just as fast as the 650 stock. Bottom line is, you can buy a 400 or the 500 now that costs less than the 650, modify it to meet the performance of the 650, save a ton of money.

[@christosswc]

Great review mate. I was torn between the Ninja 400 (soon to be 500) or the CBR650R for upgrading from my XSR 125. The Ninja 650 fits in as the perfect bike for me. There are a couple of important issues though. One is the looks, I don't like'em and the CBR looks like Marilyn Monroe in comparison. The second one is the sound vs the inline 4. But to be fair, this earns the title of beginner bike, the CBR does not, probably not a fair comparison.

[@emadreviews]

Yeah Ninja 650 is probably the highest power plant that I’d recommend as a beginner/intermediate friendly bike. Anything higher and it’s definitely going to be a pro level bike.

[@2wheeledwanderer696]

[@srtallday3655]

Why was the cbr500 the comparison and not the cbr650?

[@Matt18001]

I came to the comments for this. I will say the ninja is between the two Hondas. Honda makes the 500 to make the maximum power for an A2 licence, and the 650 as the maximum allowed for an A2 with the bike restricted. The cbr650r is probably borderline not a begginer bike, where the Ninja definitely is.

[@autisticus1678]

Looks like I’m getting this as my first bike

[@jamesgeorgevellavella1961]

I'm tossing up about buying the 25 650l KRT after riding with someone on that bike days ago and being honest I wasn't impressed vs 24 500 ninja. We went on freeway and take off from lights etc (I'm riding 500 40th). He never pulled away and I really thought id be beaten easily (I believe maybe the rider because even at take off he never got more than a tyre lengths, which doesn't make sense to me)

How would you rate the Ninja 400 vs the 650 as the best beginner bike. I have had the 2018, ninja 400 but thinking of moving to the 650.

[@emadreviews]

Ninja 400 is close enough to the power and general specs of this 650 that I’d say the upgrade isn’t really worth the price difference between selling your bike used and buying this new. I’d recommend a BMW F900R if you want to go to the next level!

The new Ninja 500 is better as a first bike. Much lighter still very usable on street or track. The 650 is just a price hike for minimal gains.

[@RAXITH_playz]

Hey there .. is Ninja 650, ZX-6R & z650 are three different bikes or are they just names?

[@TalithavPelt]

I’m not 100% sure but I thought the 650 & z650 have the same engine only the z650 is a naked bike and the 650 is a sports/tour. The ZX-6R is a supersports, so like he explained, you will be way lower and more lying down on the bike. So the first two have a little less power and a more upright seating position.

Inseam is more important than height, I'm 6'3" and with the ergo seat it's perfectly fine for me. I suggest going into a dealership and sitting on some and getting a feel. If you've really long legs you might have better luck with an ADV style or Naked bike

[@TheFiReBoY2012]

Great insight!

[@emadreviews]

Thanks for watching!

[@Tiagotaf]

It makes sense as a first bike only if you are a heavy person that weights more than 80kg. For light riders, the 400 is a much better bike, 40kg lighter, and with a few modifications, can become even lighter and faster. Weight is king. I myself weight 65kg, and my 400 with mods, is under 150kg and 56HP, does 0~100km/h in less than 4s. That is a rock solid combination!

[@emadreviews]

Absolutely! Weight and height of the rider directly correlate with what is and isn’t the right bike for you!

[@TheFly212]

The 650 is quick tho. I went from 65 to 110 in about 1.5 seconds. The bike is quick. So you can still get a very big ticket. A dude I know said he got the 650 up to 127 MPH. I don't know if I believe him tho.

That’s also definitely a school of thought and a respectable one too. Thanks for the jacket complement!

I was looking at a 650 as my beginner bike... but losing to a bicycle in a race? Now I'm not so sure..

[@vansonmafeet734]

Did he just say "flooring it?" With 1 mile on the odometer? What about the break in period?

[@emadreviews]

Per the manual you can do that for a short period of time. Prolonged stress can hurt the engine though yes I agree.

[@bobjohnson9597]

Why did my 1982 Yamaha Seca 650 have 71hp according to Google and 40 years later a ninja is only 55 hp?

[@emadreviews]

Emission restrictions maybe

[@ROB-lj7jb]

I will get my ninja soon😊

[@uh60rider2000]

the CBR650R has a quick shifter option...I wish this had one

[@phantomcruizer]

You can put a Quick shifter on a Ninja 650.

[@wb7942]

Excellent choice of bike :-)...

We got crotch rocket Doug DeMuro before gta6 , nicely done mate ❤

[@emadreviews]

Lol😂

[@Drew-x9w]

apparently literally any bike that isn't a 1000cc liter bike is a "beginner bike" now

[@ShadowAviation]

So true
