- A Kawasaki demo day test riding the 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 650 ABS, an upright sport bike with a low seat height. For reference, I am a conservative rider with the bulk of my riding being commuting and mountain rides. I own a 2014 Triumph Street Triple R 675 and I would say my skill level is about average. I'll be featuring more mid level cc bikes on my channel this year because after a poll in my community tab, y'all voted for more of that! Stay tuned for more review videos from a short, everyday rider!

What would you like me to test ride for you next? Let me know down below!
Do you have one for Triumph Tiger 660...it's somewhat like the adventure version of the Trident 660. Ride safe. 😉
Kawasaki 's Ninja 400 and 650 are both excellent examples of affordable modern day motorcycle technology with superb styling to boot.
I like the future doodle inserts, nice touch.
"Thank you"
..."You're welcome" 😃
I appreciate how your videos are actually about motorcycles and riding. Thank you! Always fun to watch and learn from your experiences 💯
“Is that right future Doodle?” Lol
Haha I LOLed too!
Future Doodle is smarter, more experienced, and cuter. Hooooboy!
Future Doodle is so smart, my wife loves her!
I like when future Doodle gets irked.
Ninja 650 is a great bike. Very reliable and ridiculously fun to ride. Definitely has no issues keeping up with freeway traffic. Enjoy and ride safe my friend!
I am enjoying your reviews and really like the comment shots from your desk, adds a nice touch.
Your videos helped me so much in my journey in finding the right bike for me as I'm the same height and wasn't sure which bikes would fit well. You are so inspiring!
I love it how you offer a cooled-off in-studio comments in between the more emotional on-hands review riding the bikes. I'd love to see more of the former type of comments (maybe, after the hands-on review...?). One of the reasons why I'm starting to like your bike reviews is the format of reviews: a review while riding with corrections in the video editing stage. Most bike review videos either do just a walk around, or just riding, or a walk around and riding after. But it's quite rare to see a review like yours. Best regards from Lithuania!
Have had my 2021 650 in black for 6 months now and you taught me about the hidden rear brake level lol love it
I currently own a 2014 Ninja 650 and really liked the 2021 Ninja 650 I tried on the last demo tour. It felt lighter and more maneuverable than mine. I later tried the Versys 650 and it felt like a raised version of my Ninja. I think with the latest generation of middleweights Kawasaki is trying to make the model lines diverge more since they share so many common parts.
LOL... I love it... You did it again Doodle. I really enjoy your bike impressions.
I love how much your channel has grown. And very creative.
I have been riding since 1988. My first motorcycle was a Kawasaki 600 and it was a terrific bike. I learned to ride in Germany and that 600 could handle the autobahn speeds. I have always liked the 600-800cc bikes. Great videos. Keep up the good work.
Whooooooa you’ve been riding a year longer than I’ve been alive! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle >>> Needless to say having my motorcycle from 1979 to 1980 means I was riding EVEN EARLIER before you were born...😉
I just found your channel, and this is the first video I watched. One of the best video'er out there. You are so entertaining. Love you! Now I have to watch them all!
Woohoo!
I love this! I just got a Ninja300 for my first bike. I really enjoy your feedback regarding size and female motorcycle culture 💕🏍
One Doodle was never enough. Now we have FD as well. Brilliant!
Yeah, good job you two. Love your review videos.
I’ve been following you for some time now, another great video. I’m getting closer to being able to do this, started training last Saturday, I wanted to last October but COVID stopped it. Thanks Noodle doodle. Be safe.
Yay Knack for Jack! Good luck!! 😃
Great video! Your enthusiasm was off the charts, and that is a good thing. Future Doodle needs a raise! LOL!
I LOVE Future Doodle commenting on Doodle's narration. HILARIOUS!!! 🤣😂 The looks of exasperation were PRICELESS! Great video Lady and nice review!
Ride SAFE and BE safe Lady!
She keeps calling a Naked bike a Supersport, Future Doodle wants to die, priceless! I love it!
I'm diggin future doodle
Thanks for commenting on wind deflection, a big factor for me in choosing a bike. Love the voltmeter on the Ninja 650 too.
Okay, the asides from Future Doodle were hilarious. Keep up the good work.
i LOVE future doodle. what an awesome little tweak to the youtube formula!
Future Doodle: And now it gets interesting. I really like that Doodle can just concentrate and share the ride experience. FD can quantify (while rolling her eyes). Classic. 😊
Ninja 650 without a doubt. Love Kawasaki positive neutral finder and reliability.
OMG Doodle U R so cute! And you describe what it's like to RIDE the bike - instead of popping wheelies for 20 minutes. Subscribed. Great job!
I am thinking about getting this bike and I was nervous bc it’s a 650 but your review was helpful, thanks for the review.
Definitely getting this one **or the z650 as my first one. I've seen a lot of videos and I liked your commentary on the important bits.
Loving future Doodle!!
Hi Doodle, you look so comfortable on this bike, and your excitement on how well it handles, is plain to see, and the low wind resistance is surprising, considering the size of the screen, is a great feature, and how easily you flat foot it, are all important features, making for a wide appeal. I think the future Doodle input is brilliant, and makes for a great review. I would definitely like to see more of her!
That’s awesome! I was just there looking at a Vulcan 900. I ride a Triumph Rocket 3 now.
My dad and I ride those roads all the time. 😁👍🏻
Great commentary and video, I love the colour of the bike.
I watch all your videos and I really enjoyed this one. Future doodle idea was hilarious 😆
HI Doodle, I''m considering the Triumph platform now. The specs are quite compelling. Great vid as always keep the rubber side down😁
I have a 2007 Z1000 and 2009 Concours. They both have different riding adventures. The Z1000 is a very nimble bike and the Concours is great for traveling. Both are 4 cylinder bikes that run really smooth. Both have handlebars that are up so you can ride upright.
Which would you buy? The Z650 or the Ninja 650? Oooooh wait until you see next week's review on the Z900!
Playlist of all the bikes I rode on this demo day: bit.ly/21KawaDemoDay
I'd buy the Ninja for a track bike.
I would buy the cousin of these 2 vulcan S 650 same.engine in a cruiser.
Ninja 650, great little bike.
Z650
I bought the Z650. I love it. My only complaint is the jerky on off throttle. It can be unnerving at slow speeds and in some turns.
Been watching your channel for a while now. This is one of your best. Can relate to “future Doodle” whenever I am editing my videos and thinking “Did I really say that???”.
😂😂😂 you know the feeling!!
Hahaha oh man I could watch these videos all day just for the future doodle!
Great review video. I can see future Doodle getting frustrated lol. I love the Ninjas, they are great bikes.
I second Ken Harris with liking the future Doodle. This video was very well done and had me laughing.
Also love the future doodle that’s awesome. Lol. Great video.
The best and most funny video so far. I have a 2009 Versys 650 and a 1995 ZX-11 Ninja. Kawasaki makes great reliable bikes.
I LOVE the new 650. Ninja and Z. Though if I went Z if want the Z900
And your video style... LOVE IT!
Great Vid.future doodle is AWSOME!
you look so chill on this bike! love it
You finally ride my bike! Love my 650
Here for Future Doodle! OMG best addition to the channel. Totally making me laugh!
🤪 a new collaboration
Awesome 1st ride Doodle. Absolutely love Future Doodle. I'd have to go with the Ninja 650. Because I prefer sportbikes over upright naked bikes. Also cuz I love frair-ings. So close to convincing my gf to get her own bike. Maybe the Z650 or Ninja 650 be a good option.
I love your editing style.
I love future Doodle's exasperation!
I love my 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 650 KRT. It is a fun bike and easy to ride.
Oh My God ! Future Doodle makes me laugh so hard 😆! Please, Please, Please keep her in your review videos 🤞! Future Doodle is destined to be your TH-cam “trade mark” 😉👍.
😂😂 first ride Doodle gets wrapped up in excitement and messes up those specs, Future Doodle has come to help
Just bought my first one!! I'm I'm love
you really make me laugh😂😂😂 with your response at 5:20. hilarious! greetings from the Netherlands. 😉
Hi Motorcycle Vitamin, I just bought a new bike and love it more then any other. An Indain vintage darkhorse 26 inch seat height your in the bike not on top. No tv screen. I like simple and not feel like I'm riding on a cell phone. It's my favorite over anything I e owned. Be safe young lady and enjoy all your rides
Cutest , funniest moto vlog EVA! That teal 650 is GORGEOUS
🤪😁
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 😝
Seems a very sporty looking bike. Yeah I like the fairing and instruments. Weird how the mirrors are so far away to reach which is a pain to then stop & adjust when needed.
Wow, I think you have had more channel subs in the last 5 minutes than I have on my whole channel. Keep up the crazy good work!
Binge watch channels like Nick Nimmin and Video Creators and you’ll start seeing those numbers move up big time!
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle Wow, thanks Doodle, I will check them out.
This is too funny I love the future doodle reactions hilarious 🤣😂
I’m picking mine up this am (krt performance ) after passing my mod2 yesterday. I’ve been awake since 3:30 am with excitement 🥳🥳🥳
I'm looking into the possible upgrades to my cbr500r, I'm 5'3 and some seating positions on bikes will hurt my back after a couple of minutes 😖 I have found a couple bikes I like already and a kawasaki er6f is on the list of potentials 🥰
"Awwwr,... was I even recording?
YES!!! Thank goodness... " 😂😂😂
I just love her personality. It's cute and joyfully😍
I'm fresh out the msf course as of 2 days ago and I'm I'm looking into to getting the ninja 650 as my first bike great video
Hello Doodle!!! i keep watching you. I'm from the Philippines and I'm checking out the best high displacement bike for me... Keep it up! im rooting for you!
:*
😃😃😃
My 21 Ninja 650 is the grey and black. I almost was going to get the Teal and black like you are riding. You look perfect on the bike and the bike looks perfect on you. I would like to see you get one, you know how easy it is to ride and it will get up and go very quickly with no trouble. I have seen 116 mph on mine but ran out of room to go any faster. If you just like to do the speed limit then this bike is geared perfectly for you to ride in 5th and 6th gear at speed limit speeds with out stumbling the motor and the slipper clutch is nice. The brakes are very good. The handling and the ergos are very good and can make for a long mileage day. I put a Kawasaki rack and top box on mine which makes the bike useful to run errands and a Kawasaki rear wheel stand and the spools that mount on the swingarm for the stand to lift the rear wheel off the ground. OTD price was good and less than the other Japanese bikes and a lot less than European bikes and English so I consider it the best bang for the buck. Also insurance was only $ 173.00 per year for PL and PD which is way cheaper than most all the other 600 class bikes.
Gotta love the Kawasexy motorcycle 1:27
Still looking at going back to riding motorcycle. I love Kawasaki 650, my first cycle was used Kawasaki LTD 1100 back in military and went down to Honda 650 CB, it was way different!
The Ninja 650 looks great and it's power profile is really good for either a mature beginner or even an intermediate--- the only thing I dislike about the Kawa parallel twin is it's sound-- now you can rectify this with a slip on exhaust but it's still going to be putt putt sound to it rather than Yamaha's crossplane or Suzuki's v twin which both sound awesome in this sector.
I do think the Ninja aesthetically looks better than both tho. Honda's 650 and Aprilia 660 are a diff class IMO, they're legit sport bikes rather than the middleweight twin in the 70 HP range.
got my ninja 650 2021 too. it's really awesome to drive and handling is comfortable. I had to take 3 courses where I live to extend learning licence. for the course I drove a 125 yamaha which was lightweight but missing handling. after getting my bike I was very impressed on first ride. it's very beginner frindly bike.
Whooaaa required 3 courses! Where do you live?
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle middle of europe around big countries, the smallest one :)
I love my ninja 650 so much... It helped me learn how to be a good rider.
It is the shape of the bike (especially the narrow under your seat) makes the bike feel lower and even lighter than actually it is... If you like Ninja 650, try Suzuki GSX S750.. You will love it.. 🥰
I love the future doodle parts. 😂
Doodle......great video. Keep up thr great work. Very informative. Appreciate the female perspective and it was funny too. Thank u😊
I cant complain i have a 2019 z650 and its great!
Great video,
Well done 👍
All around good for almost any height, a friend has a one and he's 6'2" and loves riding it almost anywhere, for a quick ride or a short 4 hr trip...
what do you think is the max height someone can ride this thing with decent comfortability
He's very comfy and has a 36" inseam
@@Dragon1165 yes thats good. but im 6'9 you think that would work for me
ahhh , you may want to look at the 900, you may want to sit on a few, don't make a rash decision..
@@jacksharmonoquinn572 hmmm are these still made today? only ones im finding are from 2003
Future doodle seems well informed. OK the doodle future doodle thing is working great.
Future Doodle .... love it 😀
Got mine on June 15th, 2021, love it! I'm 6'4.
Whoa!!!
I have a 2020 Ninja 650 KRT and love it.
Everyone should have a Future Doodle, that 20:20 hindsight is incredible!
Finally. Have been waiting for this!! Can you try the nee Honda rebel 1100 or the Indian scout bobber
Future Doodle - too funny. I have been looking the
Kawasaki-versys-1000
Amazing video my Empress 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾‼️

@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 😊
Good Afternoon Doodle...Your skill level will improve, especially if you ride different bikes, because they all have their own idiosyncrasies that you have to master, even for a short time. One thing I've noticed is in the US of A you ride in convoys for test rides. Something thats not common in UK.... you drop it, you've bought it !!....which probably helps one to be careful...ride safe, Greetings from España fellow Striple 675 rider
Doodle, seems Future Doodles patience is being tested :-)
I think it's a brilliant concept. Every reviewer should have a future doodle
Future Doodle is getting so annoyed. I like that little trampoline part!
Future Doodle needs to help past Doodle’s first ride spec facts 🤪
Future Doodle for the win!!
I’m glad the twin has overarching control! 😊
I knew I love ya for a reason. Whoohoo!!! Ninja lol. Next bike for me is 636. I’m on a N400 right now.
I love the little bow on the helmet :-)
So stoked too see another video featuring future Doodle. Two Doodles are better than one.
Perhaps future Doodle is single.
I think she’s married too 🤪
Great video! Good points made about getting a Japanese bike because the dealers are usually closer. I thought that was kind of me because of where I live. But, I know this is a long shot. I see where you ask if there is a bike we would like for you to test ride let you know. So, if possible please test ride a Husqvarna Svartpilen 701. I would really like to know what you think about that bike it has been such a divisive bike due to its looks etc. And I realize this is one of your older videos by comparison. Just a thought and thanks!
if you want an easy full size bike to handle look at the NC700/750; The forward tilted engine and the under seat gas tank makes them feel way lighter than they really are.
By the looks of how high the handlebars on the Ninja are I would think its as upright bike as the Z650.
The Ninja is more like the perfect commuter where your work is 20+ miles and the fairings will help with motorway winds especially if you get the taller windscreen
Both deflect wind pretty amazingly! Don’t think it needs a windscreen
I love future doodle!
Just took my licence today or the test..book part..the other par next week..i bought kawasaki Vulcan S 650..decided to not go too crazy as my first bike xD But that bike was interresting..its so new to me to be able to reach all the way down on a bike since i have always bin on cross bikes. It feels so wierd :O But nice review!
Another great video Doodle - thumbs up! I'd buy the Ninja 650. But I also really dislike the naked bike because of the wind in the chest when driving +60mph. It's more comfortable with a more sport riding position than naked, so easy choice for me. But how did you like the power delivery? I've tried the 650 Kawasaki Vulcan S (same engine but tuned slightly different) but that was a couple of years ago and it didn't feel right for that kind of motorcycle. Thanks for your great videos! Love 'em!
I would give it a “meets expectations” on the power delivery 🤪 🤷🏽♀️
Future Doodle is a brilliant addition 👌
