I'm glad this style of test ride videos are picking up again on TH-cam. For awhile the test rides on biker channels were a bit outdated - especially when it comes to cruisers. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to the Vulcan S ride. Always wanted one of those.
I believe that the 650RS is the perfect platform for that motor. Like the 900RS too. That is one great bike. I owned a MT07 but I traded it in on a ZX4RR because I was tired of parallel twins. I owned a 2012 Triumph 865 360 crank and it had the best sound. Then they went to a 270 crank and just ruined the sound for me. It was a very heave little bike. I road it a lot and made a cafe racer out of it but that big tank just didn't look right. Now that ZX4RR is a blast to ride. I owned a 1975 Z900 back in the day so I have been around awhile and owned a lot of bikes. I currently own a 2022 Heritage Classic, a 2018 Iron 1200, a 2023 ZX4RR, a 2015 XT250 and my project bike a 1965 Triumph TR6 120 hard tail chopper with a girder front end and a 21 inch spook wheel. I've had it for about 35 years.
@@C-P_ELG both excellent choices! I’d love to ride an XSR at some point & see how it compares. I’m in northeast Ohio, specifically Medina in this video. Lots of nice roads like them here.
They're known to be pretty bulletproof. This will probably be a little more comfortable than the SV & other naked bikes as well since it's a more standard position with a nice seat.

Sounds like a nice collection of bikes! Wish I would've ridden the ZX4RR while I was there. That's a pretty sick bike.
@@jimbobspov Yeah. It would have surprised you for a 400. It's a great technical bike for country road curves.
Great video man keep it up
@@larsonevans8147 thank you very much!
might be getting this or xsr700 soon. Beautiful roads, may I ask what state? I can't tell from the plates.

@@jimbobspov Nice 👍
pretty sure ill end up with the Kawi but will see.
How reliable are these engines? Deciding between this and an sv650
