Confident, powerful engine

fairing suitable for touring

sporty layout

good traction control

surprisingly versatile

well-integrated pannier system.

Unconventional handling in tight corners

windshield could be higher.

Kawasaki Ninja 650 2022

Kawasaki Ninja 650 2022

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

sporty look

Overall too dainty for tall riders

Front brake pressure point

Limited suitability for touring with two people
