Kawasaki Z650 2025

Kawasaki Z650 2025

The Kawasaki Z 650 is probably the most docile motorbike in the naked bike segment. And that is to be understood in an absolutely positive way - as long as you are not particularly tall and heavy. It is slim, light, agile and accessible. All the controls, but also the engine, do not overwhelm. If you are looking for spectacular performance, you should go for the Z 900, but if you are looking for a nimble and easy-to-ride motorbike, you will be satisfied.

Very accessible handling

Very compact and easy to manoeuvre

Motorcycle appears light and compact

Adjustable levers

Not enough space on the bike for tall riders

very defensive seating position

handlebars too narrow and cranked too much for a naked bike.

Enough storage space

weather-resistant

cheap purchase and maintenance price

good workmanship

Not perceived as a "real" motorbike

colour takes getting used to
