I’m checking all info to see if it’s for me or not, in my opinion I thing they should have designed it around a 250 and produces 100mpg with a bigger battery to fill the space, or the changeover speed should have been 30mph so when your dropping from 50 to 30 you won’t piss off the person behind you.
That's neat. I like the Walk Mode and all the other modes. I bet if you owned one, you'd get used to it really quick. Now, let's hope they do a hybrid bagger next :D
@@newbloodink 🤔 it could be, there’s a lot to like about this Motorcycle about how easy it is to operate most of the time. You could definitely grow with it and you could start riding it in automatic mode without having to shift. Additionally without knowing more about you, it is a heavier motorcycle which is a detractor to new riders. I recommend throwing a leg over first and moving it around to see how it feels.
@@MCCJustMotos I'm a bigger guy 6ft 250lbs I don't think the weight would be an issue. I attempted riding a standard bike years back. I was fine on the up shift but not so much on the down shift. And now that I'm back in the market this seems like a good one.
That's awesome. I think the hybrid is a great way to go. Just watching it seems like there are way to many modes. Maybe if I rode it I would figure it out. You know how us old guys are. Great overview.
Thanks bud, I spent a few hours with it and it really was hard to convey..the complicated nature and the quirks amplified that’s such as Automatic shifting only in EV mode and selective Automatic shifting in eco mode and only manual shifing in sport mode. Maybe if I got used to how to ride it in each situation, it would be cool.
@@DB-sd3cw I’ve heard some day 70-80 MPG.. but that is in the UK. Is it my cup of tea..mmm probably not, unless I got REALLY familiar with it, I’ll stick with my Livewire Del Mar.
I think Kawasaki really hit the nail on the thumb with this one.
It definitely brings something 100% new to the game.

Super interesting thoughts..as if it wasn’t clear…this bike has aa LARGE learning curve. Lots to learn. Thanks for the info!
Change modes below 25mph
Oh snap for reals? Do you have one? Can you go from EV to gas below 25?

Yeah it was a cool feature.. and I know you have a soft spot for Kawasakis!
@@MCCJustMotos I do [swoons]
Would you say outside the price that this would be a good starter bike for those who've never ridden before?

@@newbloodink your size and the automatic nature of this bike may be a good fit for you to start off with. It’s a great comfortable machine
What is the top speed with sport mode?
@@TylerMcMillen-qh4pw I’m guessing between 115-130 mph

Dumbest creation yet. Added weight and complexity to solve a problem that didn't exist. Superior gas mileage? Bikes already get 40-50+mpg easily

Perfect for Batman to sneak up on criminals 🦇🦇
Shhh!!! don’t give away my secret identity!!
@@MCCJustMotos I wondered where you get such wonderful toys 😂
