Perfect Vlog and perfect Thoughts about the Bike - Love it...
+GixxerCruza Thank you and thanks for the support.
Getting my 650 within the next two weeks; very excited; first bike. Thank you for the helpful video
My pleasure. Make sure to have fun and most importantly ride safe.
Nice vlog. I’m hopefully getting the 2017 Kawasaki z650. I’m in love with that bike. I support it. The bike is a beauty. Awesome pick! Have fun man, but be safe👌🏽
+Khalida Robin Good luck, that’s a great choice, ride safe and Thanks.
2017 ninja 650 looks so pretty *_*!!! glad with your choice, sounds GOOD even thru the video
+dankgoodness thanks, that is the stick exhaust too.
Great video, glad you like what you picked. I'm gonna check one out.
+KLASSICK_J I love it. Thanks
Congrats for your new bike! Enjoy a lot!
+Gabor Kovacs Thanks, will do.
i am planning to get one of these and then when you said you have back problem and still its comfy. i am sure i am gonna get one of those.. lol i have back problem too so i held back the thought of getting one.. but now i am sure.. thumps up.
Cool. Glad to be of help.
Great bike :) nice vid ^^ ride safe!
+Sergio Kawakid Thank you, ride safe.
Like you said, your bike your money. That's my theory. Can't wait to see more adventures with you and Mrs K. Especially now that she can ride any time.
+rahjr65 yeah it will be fun. Thanks
Great video, I used to have this bike. Loved it......great review.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
@@KawaKouple I wrecked and been thinking of getting back on the bike. Since then I bought a Corvette and started a CZcams channel to share my ownership experiences but looking at bikes on youtube again, lol. Ride safe
I am sorry to hear that, I hope you do get back on and if you do than ride safe, in the mean time enjoy your corvette, what is the channel?
If you like cars you can also check out my Tesla channel “SummonTesla”
ya im own z650, very fun bike
^Same reasons why i love my 2020 Ninja 650 :-)
They are great.
Great vlog. I bought one recently and I can correlate with your thoughts.
🧐
I own a ninja 300. I'm wanting to upgrade. This model caught my eye. I don't wanna ride wheelings but need more get up and go. It sounds like this is the 1. Do you regret your buying it? Is it same size as 300? Seat to ground? Thanks for the vlog. 1 more? Does this ride better on highway?
I absolutely love this bike, the seat bight is about the same and yes, much better on the highway. Thanks B
KawaKouple Thanks so much I think I made my mind up a 300 on steroids. Just what I want
Awesome. 👌 Ride Sade.
I've bought mine 650 in June. So far - love it. You will also love it - I'm pretty sure! After break-in period it gets more nimble :) Enjoy!
+Marek Szulen I can notice it already, so far... I love this bike. Thanks
I took msf course in nov 2020, i rode a dr 200. I liked it and went to get a dr 650, but the wait time is ridiculous. So me and my bro just went looking for shits and giggles, and a leftover 2020 ninja 650 , called to me from showroom floor, about a month later, im still trying to get used to it. The 650 ninja is my 1st bike, its peppy, but i have nothing to compare to. I was told id be able to hang with the big boys in lower speed situations, but would not keep up on highway runs. Do you have any issues on highway?
Sorry for the late reply, no... no issues on the highway... even with the "big boys" has plenty of power. IMO
do you think this would be a good first bike for a 5’3 female? im torn between ninja 650 and the z650
They are both good choices, I would sit on both and see which feels better, makes you smile and fall in love 😁. Both great options. Good luck.
Do you feel any vibrations at 4-5rpm?? Mostly on the rear view mirror..nd the wind shield..
Yes I do but honestly after a about 200km It ether goes away or I don’t notice it anymore.
KawaKouple actually i bought it this month.. nd u know how it feels... u notice evry minute details.. as i noticed..maybe I'm thinking too much abt it😛
Btw aftr how many km's u did the first servicing? Is it ok if i do it after 1500km
Your services should be at 1000, 6000, 12000, 1800 and so on. Remember that services are important to keeping your bike health and safe. Ride safe and enjoy.
KawaKouple thanks!! ☺
Absolutely welcome.
Nice vid Mr K. Seriously considering a Ninja 650. How's the vibration on the highway?
+GameDevMoto honestly not really noticeable.
Ninja 400 vs. 650 for first time rider. Which one to go with? I have seen a lot of people say the 400 is very comfortable and more upright to sit comfortably for hours.
I agree. The 400 is a great bike for new riders. Good luck.
What did you go with? I just picked up a 2018 650 as my first bike and it's been great so far. Did a 2 hour ride and it was very comfortable.
The 650, amazing bike and I know you will love it. Ride safe and thanks for the support.
congratulation happy for you
+free u Thank you. Thanks for the support
Q; is the shift light for best economy ? Looks like a good choice hope you have many km enjoyment
+Rob Duncan I don't know what's it's for but it's fun and thanks Rob.
shift light is adjustable between 5k to the redline
+FullTwist Yes it is. Thanks.
+Rob Duncan I don't think this boy ken reds this feature buts it's cool.
Thanks for this info , sounds useful feature
Congrats, it’s a great bike and it’s hard to not go for the more power option when upgrading
Thank you, it was tough to decide between the ZX6 and 650 but the 650 won simply because of the comfort, with a bad back I needed to make sure I got the right bike for me and boy is the 650 the right bike. Thanks David
KawaKouple the 2017 ninja 650 solved all the issues I had with my 2015 650. Kawasaki has been doing great work these past few years.
That’s what I heard.
How big of a difference is your insurance betwwen the 300 and 650. I use to have Ninja 250 and it was about $85/month
Here in B.C. You can say it’s double.
Wow, I think I will go with the Ninja 400 then. Appreciate the quick reply @@KawaKouple
I would recommend that as well.
My Kawasaki 650 is costing me less than $300 for a year at Geico
What province or state do you live in?
Just ordered one in blue,coming in 2 weeks,had 2 versys,s liked them ,but too tall n heavy for me,tried a vulcan,god that bike was so uncomfortable! Did a trip in europe and had to cut it short,knees,bum soooo painful.this ninja seems to be the best...we'll see
Please let me know, curious what you will think. Thanks
...I picked a blue one up back in July after not riding for 10 yrs. My last bike was a Suzuki 600 Katana. I love the Ninja though with the softer suspension, better gas mileage, nimble handling, and overall quality. plus I'll be 60 in a few yrs, and I don't ride as fast anymore, and I want to be comfortable riding without bending over the tank all day.
That makes sense, the bike is very comfortable and noble that’s for sure.
Thanks
Hey sir. Am really about to buy the 2020 version....you still recomend? Any other ideas ? I love how the ergos fit me btw....and seems like the torque would be fun :)
You will love the 2020. Ride safe and enjoy the ride.
Only one resonto buy any bike, cause you like it and it fits your style. I love the 650 ninja, good blend of power low end torque slim and good looks. I think 2 changes make it perfect for me. 1 drop about 40 lbs, I am smaller guy and light weight has many good points. Easier to ride, stop,flick around, fast direction changes, and take off fast with less weight. My old 1985 ninja 600 4 banger weighed in at 430, a twin in todays tech savy and weight saving world should be under 400 lbs, kawasaki got close. the lighter the better, I think I can shed 50 lbs on stock with some ingenuity. Only other thing I islike is not ninja deal but twin deal, I hate the sound of louder pipe on inline twins, sounds like dirt bike LOL. I want to get a used one lower weight and custom extend header pipes to route pipe out and up by swingarm and put a super trapp tuneable aluminum slip on. Can add or take away plates to change loudness and back pressure to keep power at least what it is stock. If I can pair it down 50 lbs that is better take off and faster stopping. Plus makes it even easier to flip into sorners. if I can get exhaust to get a bit more deep or loud bit not sound like a canned sound I would be happy.
Very well said. It is true, a motorcycle is a very personal choice, it is all about how you use it, how it fits you and what you want to do with it. To each their own. I never judge people on what they get or what they do because ultimately it is theirs not mine. You are right, every modification should be what makes you happy. Thanks
congrats on the new bike! still think you shoulda gotten a Z650. I think they look better without the extra body parts.
+FullTwist Thanks, did consider it but I seem to like fairings more. Thank you.
Hey I am trying to get the same bike but on white the dealership wants $6,747 out the door based on what you paid do you think its a good deal? Would really appreciate the feedback.
The prices can vary depending on where you are located. I don’t know where in the world you are so I am not sure if your in US or Canada.
KawaKouple Im in Texas
In that case it sound ok. Sounds like your getting the price that seems to be average. Shop around and see if you can get it for less but otherwise looks good. Only if new.
KawaKouple Yes its a new bike the bike itself is priced for $5,599 after taxes and fees its $6,747
Yup that’s what I figured. Taxes and fees get you every time but yes that seems like the right price for a new bike.
Thanks for blowing out my eardrums with the outro :(
Yup, didn’t notice it in editing. My apologies
The dealership close to me has a 2017 for sale for sale for $4,999.00 what a deal.
+Robert Fisher Great deal
Honestly it’s hard to say.
Yea but what was the out the door price....
Your right it's your money and your bike. But you should've gotten a Harley for you cuz you get a vibrating chair for your back lol. Nice bike.
+Chris Carrillo Lol 😂. Thanks.
Can i buy a bike even though i dont have a licence for motorcycle yet?!
I have licence for car but not motorcycle
Yes you can. We did.
I did, and never rode a motorcycle in my life, had it for 9 months , 2017 650, dropped it 2 days after I got it, no more incidents, never took the course, I would not suggest doing any of this, the more prepared you are, the better the outcome
Definitely take if the course is suggested.
Where did you get your seat cowl I need one for my 2019 ninja 650
If you can let me know thanks
I got it from Kawasaki, actually I got it at the dealership when I got the bike.
Alright thanks !
Serjio Santana nope
Serjio Santana it doesn’t vibrate is real nice actually
1k woooooooooooo
+D Money 👌😃😃😃😃
Hey there, very nice bike indeed..Would like to point out about the idle speed of your bike. i feel its a bit low-like 1100 or less.I guess it should be between 1250 and 1350.Pl do check the manual.If it idles too slow, the Gen wont have enough speed to charge your battery,which results in less life. Kindly check it.Sorry if iam wrong! Ride safe!
Thanks, had the bike looked at recently and she is in good health, appreciate the opinion and thanks for caring. Appreciate the comment and support.
1k!!
+Fede Gonzalez 🤗
I bought mine for the comfort and touring. Plus I don`t need anymore horsepower then what the 650 has. I love the 600 but it`s very uncomfortable for long rides. PS Keep the rpm`s low while your breaking it in.
+Wolfy2929 I agree, she is just comfortable enough and the power is just right. Thanks
great review..like you im a sensible rider with very very little experience,so my question is, would you say this is a good bike to learn on?
That totally depends on you, i think it is.
i can smell a test ride coming on. :)
Awesome, let us know what you think.
Same bike (but newer) as youtubes original motovlogger "Mordeth13" check him out
+SlammedSp33d 5.0 👍
thats a great bike. i just bought a kawasaki ninja 650 year 2015 model for 4,385$ with 5,300miles.
I've owned a 2004 Honda 600F4i CBR witch wasn't that bad in seating position. but this 650 is comfortable by far in up right riding. i liked both so far, for speed and torque. with the 650 you in my opinion can get longer ingevity out of it then the 600 especially when you have someone else riding with you.
Congrats, the 650 is a bike that most people ignore but it really is a great bike. Ride safe and thanks for the comment and support.
My ninja 636 r is comfortable+nimble+faster.lol nice bike tho.👍god bless🙏
Thanks and the 6363 is an awesome bike. Ride safe.
