[@RittickBiswas]

how come there are different swingarm for different color

[@ilhamsabirin4673]

Nice review.. in term of engine performance does it feel a lot different from mt07? are the performance close enough that the riders won't feel the different?

[@cycletorquedotcom]

Ilham Sabirin They aren’t worlds apart, but the MT-07 feels a little lighter, more compact. Some might prefer that, others the Kawasaki.

[@akulbajaj]

The review was good but the bike looks really tiny in front of the rider. I mean it looks like a toddler's toy in front of rider.

Ayeee I have that jacket too

How does it compare to the fz-07, mt-07?

[@cycletorquedotcom]

They are both pretty good bikes. Both handle and stop very well, and both have very nice engines with good low to mid response. Kawasaki has a 180-degree crank so it feels a bit more even. The Yamaha has a 270-degree crank so it sounds and feels more like a V-twin. Both have their pros and cons so it's very much a case of which one you prefer.
The Kawasaki has a slipper clutch, not 100% sure on the Yamaha.
The Yamaha might have a bit more power depending where you live in the world. Both bikes in Australia are detuned to suit learner riders so it is a bit of a moot point.
Hope this helps.

How does this compare to the MT-07?

[@tempvoid7680]

What does suffix "L" mean?

[@seonjie]

old 650 is not inline4 , 636 is inline4

[@cycletorquedotcom]

Old as in late ‘70s Z. Not old as in ER6n… Part of me was hoping for an inline four like the ZX6 engine, but this one makes more sense and the new Z900 has that kind of power in a more linear engine.

[@seonjie]

lol 70', i not even born

[@cycletorquedotcom]

Haha neither was I! The early Z1 was a bit of a game-changer so when Kawasaki uses the Z moniker the name still carries weight from those early machines.

Dude just talk normal. This is the most awkward way of talking ever.

He doesn't know the script by heart, he reads it line by line probably from a teleprompter/screen so that's why he sounds so "staggered".
