Oh man that's a Great story! You took your time - learned what you needed to and now your READY! Thanks for Sharing that with me!🙏🏻 Stay in Touch and have a AWESOME Sunday!!
Always your faithful subscriber! Some criticised me for not getting an mt07 but I think for beginners, the z650 is much more forgiving, simpler, basic controls and feels more comfortable to sit on. So definitely would recommend for a beginner over an mt07
Green you will love it just take it very slow and you'll probably be fine! Always Wear a helmet, Always!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻!! And stay in Touch!!!!
@@RayBowdenRides Same here Ray! For the price on this bike, the value package is unmatched. There might be better spec’ed bikes out there, but they cost so much more. For a beginner who might drop it once or twice in the learning process, this is ideal! Better than my first bike!😁😂
I would buy one that is a good looking naked bike, but still I really love my gsxs 750, but yeah definitely like the look. As always another great video mate
@RayBowdenRides yeah mate it is I really enjoy it especially now that it's been tuned. Oh what really, that's good so it should mate I had to put a quick shifter on mine and I wouldn't own a bike without one now haha. Did they improve the engine at all in this year's version mate ?
This is a badass bike but I wound up going with the Z500 instead... I love the light weight & lighter price tag haha. Very happy with my purchase 😁 love the reviews 👍🇺🇸💯💪
I love the Z500 - Congratulations on the new bike!! You made a Good choice 👌. Thanks for Watching and Commenting and glad to have you on the channel!!!
This z650 vs the suzuki sv650 maybe? A video? Thatd be cool or this vs the s750. Thatd be cool i really love the vs videos or comparing videos those are fantastic
I do like the look and the colors, i do not like the headlight it looks weird i dig the headlight on the gsx s750 more and then if this had a belly pan like s750 does itd look sick. But i also do like the technology kawasaki offers. But the s750 also is a 749cc 4 cylinder so theres that too. The sound from a 4 cylinder is definitely superior to the twin cylinder engines in my opinion
Unfortunately the refreshed MT07 blows it away and I own one, I test rode the GSX 8s and that bike is light years ahead as I have commented in the the past, Kawasaki has to get competitive with their competition.
Yamaha doesn't offer near the lineup Kawasaki does..they don't even make cruisers anymore...Kawasaki has the most comprehensive lineup in the industry....they are killing the competition....
@@Texas2Step79 the only thing I would say Yamaha has on Kawasaki when speaking into this bike is the 270 crank vs this 180 crank. 270 sounds better by far.
@Liveandride33 I had never seen a Spark200 - that looks fun as heck that bike!! Awesome man and thanks for Commenting and Watching- Have a Great day and let's talk again soon!!!
Sv Is perfect 👌 sir, I did a video on the Sv 650 and the comments are Amazing- thanks for being apart of the Channel Justin!! Let me know when you get it.
Raymond, except for the colour ( 💚) it woukd be the beginning of a real church picinc bike. ( if the picnic was 200 miles away 😊 and yiu liked riding 😊) Add a crash bar and a high screen and i would be a very happy rider. (👹👺wheelies are optional 😇)
Kawasaki- we don’t build bikes anymore. We just use the same one year after year after year and increase the prices. Thailand built junk with the shittiest engine in all of motorcycling.
Many Motorcycle Makers have Factories in Thailand inc Honda & Triumph..The Build Quality on my Z650 is Excellent. Kawasaki wouldn't put their Name on a " Junk" Motorcycle
6 years ago I bought a 2019 z650 as my first bike to learn on… today I’m waiting for my 2025 zx6r to step up to 😃😃

Thanks for a great review Ray! I like this bike. It is a nice all round bike and the whole package for a beginner, as you say, is very compelling!
Yes it is. It's the kind of bike you buy and may never get rid of. I wish I had every bike I've ever bought and not traded them!!

@RayBowdenRides Thinking about getting back into motorcycles again in the Spring, not sure what I want.
@davhuf3496 The 650 is a Great bike!!
Believe that rear is a 160 ray or atleast that what their website says. Its also the best selling bike in the us for 24 is what i hear.
Thanks my friend! Justin your probley Right !! Thanks for Commenting and the Info!

Sv 650 or this bike ray???
Man just that's a great Question- are your going to have any passengers and what about long rides- also do like the look of techy things?
@@RayBowdenRides don't like tech and no passengers.

@justinrogers9427 Anytime- Anything
Everything is ok with the bike but there is one problem ... its grand clearance is less than all its grand clearance should be 150+
Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻.
Raymond, except for the colour ( 💚) it woukd be the beginning of a real church picinc bike. ( if the picnic was 200 miles away 😊 and yiu liked riding 😊)

Kawasaki more tech, attract young riders etc…..Sv 650, no tech,more power and after 100years will still look good
I love them too!! Have a great weekend!
My 2017 z650 is 50000km and works like new. I also had a 2007 sv650 and z650 is at least as reliable.
@farmoboy83 Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻. Have a AWESOME weekend and ride Safe!!
