- Total newbie buys a brand new Kawasaki Ninja 650 KRT Edition motorcycle. Just a few weeks ago I owned a 2017 Honda CBR300R in red color but felt the 300cc engine wasn't satisfactory.
So I traded that one in and got the Kawasaki Ninja 650 instead. I got the Green KRT Edition with ABS brakes.
my first bike was a ZX6R, I was lucky to make it home alive that first day (it was nighttime btw). I almost shit my pants. (Almost!)
Thanks for the video! That's a gorgeous bike... congrats!
Very beautiful bike! I love these in the KRT paint scheme. Enjoy!!
I'm in the same boat. Just bought an R3 and was incredible at first but only took a few weeks of wanting more power. Looking to get the Ninja 650 very soon.
thanks for the video! im buying one this weekend.
Sakitech, that's a great bike! Looking at getting one myself.
The Honda is no doubt an under-powered bike, but take my word for it they are The most comfortable bikes to ride around.
Love the humbleness. Ninja 650 great bike
trust me, if you started on the 650 instead of 300, you will still feel that the 650 is under-powered in a few months, and start looking at 636 or 750 or liter plus. And then at some point after riding all the 1 liter and 1200 cc bikes, you will miss the nimbleness of the light bike, and buy a 300 or 400, and start the cycle all over again.
Definitely upgrade, Should have fun & have it for years
Good choice and beautiful bike.
Oh ok thanks for the tip.....my last bike was a versys....and i feel that it's quite unstable in highway riding....i also had the same choice that of the ninja
good choice. I will buy the same. I think now this bike is one of the best choice if you look at price and value. Not slow, but its not over powered for city ride. Nice bike
for newbies its literally the best purchase you can do
Hello, I have new Ninja 650 with Leo Vince exhaust underbody, sound of exhaust is very nice but is anyone noticed that engine or something else is whistling as from 3500rpm until 5000rpm, after 6000 noise of intake/engine/exhaust cover this whistling.
Into city in 3rd gear 4000rpm this noice is very unpleasant.
Thanks for your feedback!
Im planning ninja 650 also bro..ride safe
Nice bike just picked up the ninja 400 I got 300 miles on it so far great bike I hope I don't get bored and need an upgrade just yet but if I do I like the ninja 650 or z650
so did you get bored? I'm can't decide between 400 and 650 as first bike
@@Chris-ol2rq honesty yes if you like to go fast you will get bored but if u are a reserved rider you will enjoy the bike alot
Mines the same mines 2019.i had ninja 300 only put 150 miles on it.traded it in for 650 good bike plenty of power
that's my next bike. hope you will enjoy it for years or at least months to come. but I disagree with your theory on 250 cc and 300 cc bikes. I learnt on a ninja 250. spent many hours practicing leaning knee down on factory tires, accelerating, breaking and tight maneuvers . on rides with bigger bikes, I had no trouble keeping up. until over 150km or 93m/h. but on corners I out turned and accelerated riders with much more riding experience. it's a personal opinion. I've heard too many stories of inexperienced riders getting a liter bike. crash with terrible injuries and never rode again. please don't become a statistic. enjoy your bike. and be safe.
How does it handle at 70mph, highway speeds? I been looking to get my first bike and been told that the ninja 400 vibrates too much at high speeds. I need a bike for commuting to work and I have to ride on the highway.
I've had a 400 since April and it handles great at high speeds. Lots of power and extremely lightweight. I actually passed on the 650 after I did some research. Both are great bikes, but considering the price difference and performance, I'd get 400.
I do not know how fast your friends were going with Ninja 400, but it was just fine until 85 mph. I am currently riding 2017 Ninja 300 and was quite impressed with Ninja 400 actually. For a long distance highway cruising, 650 is surely better though althuogh at 70 mph (or even up to 80 mph), Nina 400 should do just fine. (Ninja 400 has actually shorter wheel base and lighter than Ninja 300, so it is a very nimble bike for the city commuting as well.. )
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettt bike... and from a kawie fanboy,the 'right' color
I purched a KTM 390 Duke two months ago and I'm already looking at 600cc +
Learned how to do corners yet?
Are the yellow decal on the bike similar to hiviz yellow? I have some hiviz yellow gear that I am hoping to match!
Hi, What lens did you use for this video? btw, just bought the same bike this week ;-)
Green looks lean,you drive a car and you ride a bike!👍
Hello there, have you considered yourself buying a CBR 650 instead? I'm seriously confused right now! I own a Ninja 300 now and I wanna upgrade soon. Your thoughts please?
..The Honda CBR 650 is not considered a beginner's bike. Top speed on that bike is about 165 mph as opposed to 128 on the 650 Ninja, It does have an excellent 4 cyl vs Kawasaki's excellent 2 cyl, the riding position is a little more leaned over the bars which may strain your back on longer trips vs the Ninja's more upright riding position. It costs a bit more than the Ninja, the insurance is a little higher and not as good gas mileage as the Ninja. It is a very good bike, sporty and reliable but the Ninja is more of a beginner's bike that you may decide to keep forever. I've had 4 bikes including the one I own now which is a blue 2018 Ninja 650. I used to own a SUZUKI 600 KATANA, GSXR 600 and GS700 es back in the day. But I got the Ninja because it's tamer, I'm older and I don't need to be riding over 100 mph racing everyone that comes along now. Wiser too !!
Bro I need sound and prower I can get for that monster coz uk I live in india actually from Kolkata I think u know the place so it is best bike I think so
You sound just like the tech reviewer sakitech.. Crazy lol
Which do u think should I buy ....a ninja 650 or a vulcan s
RONAN MENDOZA lmao now that's preference. Versys 650, Ninja 650, and Vulcan S are all the same engine. Do you want an adventure tourer or a (not supersport) sports bike or a cruiser? I hate the look and feel of cruisers, and the versys 650 doesn't get me off too much, although I do have to admit it fits me a bit better as I am tall. I like the ninja over all three.
I havr a vulcan s and its a blast.. only diffrence is it tops out at 110 mph.. amd the ninja at 125
My first bike was a 1200ST) Take the bull by the horns) That ninja looks great
it's not a supersports, but i do wish it had a inline 4.
..that's what the ZX6 (NINJA 636) is for! It's a race bike replica for the street. High revving 4 cyl engine, about 130 hp, different suspension - upside down forks, wider rear tire, better brakes, faster speed at top end... and of course more money and higher insurance. The 650 of course is a 2 cyl engine with about 69 HP, great gas mileage almost 50 mpg, top speed about 128 mph, super low insurance, very comfortable riding position, very-very reliable engine and low maintenance, and costs less.
Is this Sakitech???
searching for Ninja 650, then i heard the sound....sakitech...lol
ninja 636 is better option instead ninja 650 if torque and acceleration is your concern....
and how about cbr 650f... its gor power + acceleration + much lean back riding position.... this make a greater comparison than cbr 300...
Did you look into cbr650f
That's the same as mine 2019 I payed 6200 pounds for mine 186 miles on it
CBR300R is too slow for you and very underpowered !?? You must be going to a track very often ! Cruising up to 65 mph should not be a problem at all with CBR300. However, Ninja 650 is sexier with better instrument for sure !!
Good review. And don't give these so called "experts" on riding, any attention. I read that negative comment towards you about the dude talking about how he has 12 years experience riding. It's dumb shits like him that the riding community look down on. It doesn't matter HOW long you have been riding. ANYONE can drop their bike no matter what your experience is. Then, you have the other "genius" talking about how a Ninja 636 is better than the Ninja 650. First of all, both bikes have different riding styles. The Ninja 636 is a super sport. The 650 is more of a sport/standard/tourer type of bike with a more upright position. Not everyone, is looking to go 190mph on the highway. I'm not putting down super sport bikes. But in regular riding like in cities and small towns. The Ninja 650 is more usable in regards to power. Ninja 636 is twitchy with power, and wants to simply go fast. The Ninja 650 wants to simply chill, but does have the torque to back it up when it wants to go. Just don't pay attention to those two idiots. It's because of people like them, is why anything social on the internet sucks these days. Best thing to do is block them.
Is not you, sakitech?
You sound like Sakitech ....
Being a newbie and saying a 300 is to slow for you. Honestly biggest mistake. To much power for a new rider. Yeah you can learn the hard way. But sometimes the hard way comes with a few medical and mechanical bills.
Y actually learned to ride on my vulcan s .. same engine as the ninja .. and so far its been a blast.. even though ive been driving cars fir 18 plus years.. i still took about 1 month of riding backstreets before building the xourage to actually merge onto heavy traffic streets... 45 to 50 mph range streets.... now a year and a half later.. amd maaany u tube videos later.. im doing pretty good i might say... so 650s arent a bad way to to for starters ... its the 600cc supersports series or such that u gotta watch out for ...
Kawasaki even lists the 650cc as a beginner friendly bike on their website. And besides not everyone is 5'5 at 120lbs sometimes people are 6'2 300lbs and want to good in highways. Besides if you know you are going to trade the 300 in becuase its not enough power then why waste money like that unless your rich??
Have to disagree with you, new riders should start on a smaller bike as you did and then once you've got some skills you move up to a bigger bike.
Depends. In the US, you barely get any public road training so i would say yes to that. In the Netherlands we get public road training on the sv 650x so its already good to start with a 650
3:10 "this scooter"
You haven’t learned how to ride quickly... I’m 30 with 12 years riding experience, humble yourself. Also it’s rider not driver
In the very beginning I stated that I am a newbie, I don't know what you are smoking about being humble. I did learn how to drive it in literally 2 weeks. I don't care if you have 50 years under your belt buddy, but driving a motorbike is not rocket science.
carimpact lol you’re one of those riders that will probably quit after a year. I guarantee you drop that bike and get rid of it before it even has 5k miles 😂😂😂
I don't even know what to say to that, champ. You have got issues.
why cuz he'll drop the bike. he will crash? i suggest You quit riding mate.
