Not much people on youtube making videos about this bike, this bike isn't appreciated enough by the community, it is smooth and the power is just enough to get you by. Btw 650 owner here too
Nice video man! Was there too I am actually in front on the zx6r that was my first time riding something like that was a blast you are a much better ride than i am since I'm still learning , video edits are nice too keep up awesome job
Nothing but respect for you mate. Excellent work for shooting high-quality footage and taking time to edit. You're a great TH-camr and with this much effort, you are bound to excel - just keep up the good work 👍
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words!!!! Comments like this mean the world to me :) I put in a lot of work on the videos for sure, but it is so much fun that it makes it all worth it! Have a wonderful day buddy
@@AlexKono999 did u get ur license? :) In Spain he most common is the Z400 for the license. I know the ninja 650 seating position is upright but can it zig zag slowly through the cones like a naked?
Same here, I have a 2021 ninja 650 and have noticed the same thing as of the past couple of days. I’m coming up on my 500 mike oil change so I was going to have them check it out
@@dylanmoe4320 that's normal in most of the bikes , its about the frequency, the vibration of engine matches with vibrating frequency of front fairing causing buzzing sound.
Hey there! It's called blipping the throttle :) In short, it helps rev match with the current speed you are going when you downshift to help make a smoother downshift. Check out some YT videos on it! Ride safe buddy
@@EspressoRacer Thank you very much. I would love to have such a bike but I would probably stay away from the highway for a good while until I have learned to ride very well.
Hey! That's awesome :) I should be there at Tejas for another Kawasaki demo tour on first saturday of June Send me a DM on instagram if you wanna meet up and ride the demo tour with me!
Hi iam a beginner motorcyclist and iam planing on taking my first big bike iam very confused weather to take ninja 650 or triumph trident 660 (looking in 600cc segment) please help witch bike is better and witch grabs a lot of attention ?
If I know anything about Triumph, I will most likely like the Trident over the Ninja 650 I plan to get my hands on a demo ride of the Trident soon, stay tuned!
i have the Ninja 650 in the KRT edition since last year and i am really happy with it. Is an eyecatcher too. In accordance to the specs and pics, the Triumph has a bit more power and the appearance is more classic. At the end of the day is a matter of taste if you prefer naked bikes or bikes with fairing (less wind turbulences on high speed). I chose the Ninja 650 also because of its long travel abilities on German Autobahn.
The triumpth is a better bike all around. The ninja 650 is a budget naked with a sport fairing kit meant for commuting. A great, reliable bike for that purpose, but comparing it to anything over 600cc that isn't another budget japanese naked would be unfair. Suspension is soft, windprotection is very minimal, ergos are not sporty, transmission feels bad when going hard, bike is buzzy in mid range, but it's cheap and great to learn on. I must say that I got a lot of attention from people who knew nothing about bikes because they saw "ninja" and people think that "ninja" means fast bike.
why does everybody hit the dead man's switch. That shit isnt there to just turn off your bike in situations like these. Only after emergency. Its not great for the electronics
@@EspressoRacer It is not good practise in general. Using the killswitch for something else other than accidents where you need to shut down all electric components, might cause a faulty kill switch in the long run and shut down your bike mid ride. Its like unplugging your computer instead of just pressing the ''shut down'' button. Edit: thank you for this video btw. I am thinking of grabbing this bike this summer. This video helped me decide whether it would fit my daily commuting. I will ofcourse test drive it myself too.
Yo how do you get to ride these? And is it for free are these demo rides or what ever they are called and if so how can I get in one fam I want to try out bikes thinking on Honda CBR600rr and ninja 650
No disrespect but Kawasaki's only good thing is the H2 and zx10r. They're 650s are turtles. Get a duke 790, APRILIA 600 even a CBR 600. Or a Yamaha 600
So more then double then triple the price........I'm in NY, traffic hell, Id rather have bottom end then have to get to 10k+ to hit the power band. Yeah a 600 will start to pull away after 100mph, but you'll have to wait till 1am so the traffic will clear a bit. It's need and location.
@@twistymcfistysback I fully agree with that, I rode with my friends on his bike gs6r and we find it both annoying having to constantly dropping gear every so often. But at night is a great time to ride and have a sense of how fast his bike goes, as well as torque. He then recommended me to start with a 250-350 to start with, but I think a 450-650cc with be the sweet spot to learn on.

I completely agree
The 650 is very underrated but such a good overall bike
Nice video man! Was there too I am actually in front on the zx6r that was my first time riding something like that was a blast you are a much better ride than i am since I'm still learning , video edits are nice too keep up awesome job
I remember you buddy! I thought your videos were sick! Keep up the great work and hope to ride with you again :)

Okay. This will be my next bike
Let’s gooo!
Awesome bike, very smooth. In Latvia this is the bike that driving exam is passed on currently.
Oh wow! That would’ve been great to learn on this!
@@EspressoRacer Yeah im learning on it currently :)
@@AlexKono999 did u get ur license? :)

Great chill video man 👊
Thank you so much for watching!
brilliant video. Which full exhaust system is this?
Sounds great!
Thanks! This was simply stock exhaust
Is this the stock performance edition?
if so, this would be the stock akrapovic exhaust
Wish I could have been there this is the same dealership I go to. good people
Great people! Stay tuned for next time they swing by :)
Love my 650. Got the 2021 son!
Nice! Enjoy my man!
which camera did you record with? Awesome quality!
Thanks! GoPro Hero Black 9
Dude is that the stock exhaust?
Yes, stock!
Righteous!
Wish the krt paint was available for 2021.... debating aqua vs gray.
Plus I wish the exhaust had a slip on option
Very nice! Couldn’t agree more
My dream bike
Thanks man!
52 h.p. ??? Is it restricted for this market ? They have 67 h.p. for the American market. Nice bike.
Thanks! The numbers I took were from the internet :)
Other countries have to versions , restricted one and the full power
North American market is 67 hp
Did you notice a buzzing sound 4k to 5k rpm? Seems like something in the front on my new 2021 is vibrating or buzzing at that rpm
Hmmm not sure since I only did a quick test ride! Have a tech at Kawasaki look into it
Same here, I have a 2021 ninja 650 and have noticed the same thing as of the past couple of days. I’m coming up on my 500 mike oil change so I was going to have them check it out
@@jefferyhawkins3569 my shop told me it was normal out some tape under it, what did your shop say
@@dylanmoe4320 that's normal in most of the bikes , its about the frequency, the vibration of engine matches with vibrating frequency of front fairing causing buzzing sound.
Same here! They told me everything was in perfect shape so all of my worries went away
I’m a brand new rider…. What’s the purpose of hitting the throttle just a tad when you downshift??
Hey there! It's called blipping the throttle :)

For a complete beginner how long does it take to learn how to ride this bike?
On most bikes, you can learn proper skills and techniques after a month depending on how extensive you practice
@@EspressoRacer Thank you very much. I would love to have such a bike but I would probably stay away from the highway for a good while until I have learned to ride very well.
You went past my house lmao I was actually at Tejas today looking the 650

Wait, they have it in blue?
Yes :) it’s metallic blue
Excellent colour
Right! I love the color of this
Is he test riding it?
Yes this was a test ride
Nice motorcycle 🤙❤️
Thanks!!
If that stock exhaust sound really nice......
Yes, it is stock!
aounds brilliant.

Hmmm I didnt know I was doing anything wrong with the kill switch?

@@SaucyNetworkEntertainment so should I turn my bike of using key?
I don't think this bike only has 52hp. I think you meant 52kw
I’ll double check!
0:57 somebody tell me what does this mean, seen it so many times from guys on bikes but still dont understand the meaning😅
Lol it just means we’re cruising about to have fun
@@EspressoRacer thank u)
51 HP :O that's not it chief
You're right! I will change :) good catch
67 I believe
Learner one has 50 odd hp full power has close to 70
Is there White version available?
I believe there is! Not 100% sure though
Nice color 🤗
Thanks!
What exhaust is this?
Stock exhaust!
so is it 52 or 67hp??
67
I think it 68 BHP not 51 anyways good video
Thank you! You're right, thank you for the catch!
Yo how do you get to ride these? And is it for free are these demo rides or what ever they are called and if so how can I get in one fam I want to try out bikes thinking on Honda CBR600rr and ninja 650
Thanks! Follow Kawasaki Good Times tour and see when they will be near you :)
Really strange your 650 isn't full coloured TFT screen on the 2021 model.
Possibly since this one was a test ride :) or maybe my camera didn't pick it up
sounds like an inline 4
Definitely a fun bike to ride!
Ninja 650 have 68CV
Thanks!!
Blue eruka
very true!
Best 650 motorcycle is continental gt 650💯
Big facts!!!
68 hp no 51
Thank you for the clarification!

I agree with you! Still had a blast on the Kawasaki Ninja 650 :)
The 650s 0-60 mph is very similar to the 600s. Plenty of torque on them just don’t have the high speeds
Some people don’t care about top speed. Torque down low will do it for me.
So more then double then triple the price........I'm in NY, traffic hell, Id rather have bottom end then have to get to 10k+ to hit the power band.
Yeah a 600 will start to pull away after 100mph, but you'll have to wait till 1am so the traffic will clear a bit. It's need and location.

mph!
@@EspressoRacer ohh ok i have this bike..you were going 64 mph in 4th gear is that bad on the bike?
jesus just fucking shift
