I have this bike and got it as soon as it was announced, yes based solely on the looks! 100% form over function! I know the Z650 is reliable and got fine power for me, and with this bike’s sweet looks I was sold! People say the engine and set up is boring, and that usually dominates the reviews, “why doesn’t it have a different firing order like the Yamaha” etc etc etc, really there are so many bikes with the trendy 270 crank that a 180 is almost interesting! I love the bike! Confirmation bias? Convincing myself of the purchase? To a degree… Absolutely! Where I live we have no Royal Enfields, and Triumph are twice as expensive as in other markets, so it makes this bike a better purchase! I do wish that it had a better looking exhaust like the Z900RS, and the it’s beyond me why they didn’t put fake cooling fins on the engine, the same engine on the 650 Vulcan S has them, and the Z900RS has them. Not sure how long this bike will be for this world, with Yamaha, and now Honda and even Suzuki with more modern and trendy engine platforms, maybe Kawasaki will go the same way with their 650 platform.

I've been waiting for this review for a long time. I love Kawasaki, I love the old KZ models of the '70's, and this bike does such a good job representing those bikes while being modern and relevant. It just blows my mind that it costs as much as the Z900RS did when it was first released, and is only a couple thousand less than it now. The Z900 is an awesome bike too but it's really too much bike for me, ~400 lb sporty bikes are where it's at IMO. Even though I like this bike a lot more than the few other retro options out there right now, it's just too darn expensive. I feel like if this bike were priced more aggressively it would get a lot more riders into the Kawasaki ecosystem. Still, I'm really glad that it rides as good as it looks.

I often feel like a lousy motorcyclist because I can’t wheelie or back it in. But Zack has been riding his whole life and I’ve only been riding a year and a half. The main thing is we all enjoy it. I was deciding between this bike and the Bonneville T100. If Kawasaki kept the green gas tank and offered the red gas tank as a regular option I most likely would have gotten this one. But I ended up with the Bonnie. And honestly I think the Bonneville is much better for my skill level. Really good fueling (not herky jerky at all) and a lot milder of a riding experience. As Zack would say, very approachable.

You mean like everybody else and their grandma using a 270 degree crank. And i mean everyone. This and the very beige Honda 500 models run the 180 crank, and i believe Kawasaki with the W800 are unique in running a classic 360 configeration a la every post war Brit twin.

40 MPG, I have no clue of how 😅 I avaraged 65 mpg with the 07 Versys 650 I had (which I believe is the first year of this engine). Also, not in this nor any other universe out there I would pay $9k for this bike with its 16 year old lawnmower engine.. It would however be an amazing choice if it had a detuned, short gearing 636cc ZX6R engine. But the most unobtainable dream I have atm is a Z400RS with the new ZX4RR 4cyl 😁

I had prejudice against this 180 parallel twin until I rented a Ninja 650 and rode Angeles Crest…when you have that engine in the upper power band, it really sings

Still the best bike reviews out there. Love it. A for the bike... The astounding Z900rs ergos, quality and looks get my vote, even with the big bump in price.

I have a Suzuki TU250X and was wanting a step up with the same style but the fuel tank size is a big red flag for me.

Boring engine? Certainly, it doesn't have a deep sound, and the fact that the Akra exhaust costs a fortune is a real shame. However, noise aside, between 5,000 and 9,000 RPM it pushes hard, definitely more than a Triumph 900. In any case, it's sufficient for many, like myself, who use the bike for commuting during the week and for enjoying a ride on Sunday mornings through the hills of northern Italy.

I really took this video into consideration before purchasing this motorcycle. I was fortunate enough to get this bike on sale $1500 off! So basically purchased it for sticker price with all the dealer fees. Just did the dreaded manufacture break in procedure, and I’m really surprised by how responsive this thing is all around! Night and day between my CBR 600RR. Thanks so much for your review!

It took that poor, broken-down old pallet 3 days to make it that far across the road, and then along comes Zack, riding around like Johnny Blueskies, and puts the pallet RIGHT back where it started from... Two sides to every story.

For a bike that is about style as its calling card it is real shame they could have not mounted or integrated the radiator a bit better. Cool bike regardless.

Good review, as always. Regarding the on/off throttle response I've found with my Versys 650 increasing the idle rpm to 1400 to 1500 and ensuring the chain is correctly adjusted helps a lot. Or maybe I'm just used to it after 33000 miles 😁
