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.

With its DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission), the NC750X is the most coherent model in the NC range. With its windshield, long suspension travel and the resulting increase in comfort, it is also suitable for longer distances and even travelling. After all, why shouldn't beginners also be able to enjoy comfortable yet uncomplicated travel? Above all, the comparatively low centre of gravity takes away the fear of the visually much larger and more bulky NC750X, even for inexperienced riders. The engine is not too sporty, but the DCT, which changes gears extremely precisely and easily at the touch of a button or even fully automatically, quickly makes you forget that. The helmet compartment under the dummy tank is particularly ingenious.
