Kawasaki Z650 2021

Kawasaki Z650 2021

Even in 2021, the Kawasaki Z 650 stands for easy riding with great looks and good equipment. Both seat height and engine are very accessible and will give both experienced riders and newcomers a lot of pleasure. If you are looking for an honest naked bike without any big surprises, this is the bike for you. Due to its compact dimensions, however, you should try it out before buying and perhaps go for the raised seat.

compact dimensions

low seat height

Enough storage space

weather-resistant

cheap purchase and maintenance price

good workmanship

Not perceived as a "real" motorbike

colour takes getting used to
