I have a 2018 Z650. Good things is the engine, gear, breaks and suspension. Change oil and you have this bike for ever! Throttle i had to fix with a tuneup, At the same time get them to adjust when the fan kicks in. Stock it kicks in at 120 degree Celsius and it boils over at 125 degree. I put on a full Akrapovic exhaust system . Only real complaint i have about the bike is bad plastic, turn-signals fall of and so on. And original tires are bad.

Having spent time on both, I like the Z650 over the MT07 for one big reason. I like sitting "IN" the bike better than "ONTOP" of the bike. The MT07 certainly sounds better, but I enjoy the ride more on the Z650/Ninja 650.
@Tashin322 жыл бұрын
@The Power Moves the acceleration on the MT07 is a bit better, not going to lie. Will you notice a difference unless you're drag racing or trying to get the front wheel up? Probably not. Prior to the latest model year the suspension was laughable compared to the Z650. I haven't been on the latest MT07 so I couldn't speak for the revisions they made. The metal tank and shape on the Z650 is easier to grab with your knees and the bike felt a lot more nimble to me comparing the two. The plastic tank shell and shape on the MT-07 makes tank pads a must if you want to ride it spiritedly. Best thing to do is try and get some seat time on both to feel it for yourself. If engine sound is super important to you like it seems to be to a lot of YT reviewers than you might not like the Z650 just for that. Personally, I value the fun I have riding and the feel of the bike a lot higher than what sound it makes zipping down the road. My two cents on the matter after about 4k miles on a 2016 MT07 and about 7k miles on a 2019 Z650.

@The Power Moves I certainly know that antsy and impatient feeling. When I got my endorsement I ran and got a Honda CB650 that same week haha!

It is great for beginners - thanks for low position allowing average rider to put both feet flat. The only thing really bugging me sometimes is vibration, but it has radically reduced after breaking in and first service. Very light and manoeuvrable machine.

Take it up to aggressive twisty roads, compare it to the SV and MT07. I found this most fun of the three, most ‘flickable’, despite being slightly heavier than the MT, I think it might have lower center of gravity why it feels that way, the short wheel base and slimmer rear tires and slightly stiffer suspension probably help with that too…So for canyon carvers and around town with heavy traffic I think this is the bike for its class.

The 2020 model has a better ABS system, TFT and better tyres so I think Kawi have done a lot to address the foibles that the 2017-2019 model had. I tried a fair few bikes before settling on this one. The MT07 was too wide and the tech is too old. The SV650 is similar and the seat and rider position is horrible and brakes are crap. For me, the Z650 was best bang for buck. 100% agree on the induction note. Wonder if K&N do a filter?

While looking for A2 permit bikes I Had similar test ride experience with the z650 a2 version 45kw with the rear slipping out on acceleration out of a roundabout - I thought it was because it was early morning and road/tyre not hot enough. Did scare me though as I was on a test ride at a dealer. Engine sound and feel was really good - I had no complaints with the bike. I ended up going for aprilia shiver 900 in a2 version 45kw which was better equiped for 8000Euro on road exact same price 7400 Euro for both z650 and shiver900 before on road costs etc. In sumation I did enjoy the Kawasaki and it would be a better option for city riding but I do more highway trips and prefered the heavier aprilia + rider modes, adjustable forks, ride by wire etc .

Hey Yammie, I have a 2020 z650 abs. Great video, I definitely agree with most of what you say. I am down here in California, and take my bike to Big Bear and the rim of the world road and love this bike. I will say though, that at least on the 2020, or maybe it could be your bike, I have had no problems with the tires losing traction. I definitely have had a bit more sloppy gear experience though lol. Other than that, I definitely appreciate you sending this bike some love. It's a great bike. I definitely will be looking at an MT-09 as my next one though. xD Ride safe!

I think a comparison to the yammie noob resident favourite 650 class bike in the XSR700 would be really cool. A twisted road special perhaps? 👀

What he calls twistys in Texas is a pretty straight road in West Virginia but then again there’s hardly any straight stretches in WV
@SinuousGrace3 жыл бұрын
Compared to the DFW area, Austin is a twisty road heaven. I finally decided the 400 is all the bike I need around here because anything more is wasted and you can still kinda have a little fun sort of on the slow bike in a straight line.
