Kawasaki Ninja 650 2021

Kawasaki Ninja 650 2021

Save the sport tourer! With the Ninja 650, Kawasaki has created an exemplary representative of this class and (hopefully) solved the problem of the new generation. The stable chassis and the decent two-cylinder will delight beginners and advanced riders alike, even at a brisker pace. The front brake is a little too well intentioned, lacking a transparent pressure point despite basically good braking performance. Another plus is the TFT display, which we don't find in the competition at the moment, as well as the grown-up look, which is strongly oriented towards the larger Ninja models.

one of the last of its kind

powerful two-cylinder

comfortable seat suitable for touring

compact dimensions

beginner-friendly seat height

stable chassis

TFT display with connectivity

Overall too dainty for tall riders

You could expect a lot behind the GP abbreviation. Is the 890 Duke GP therefore a deceptive package? Not necessarily, because with the unbelievably fun 890 Duke as a basis, which has been refined even further, you are buying a true joy dispenser with this naked bike, which will sweeten your everyday life and weekend rides. If only the quickshifter were fitted as standard...

comfortable ergonomics

comprehensive electronics package

lively handling
