    Amazing bike! I researched/shopped for a year before deciding step up from my Vulcan S to the RS SE. IMO, the Brembo and Ohlins upgrades are worth the extra $1,500. It's a sport bike with an upright seating position; so comfortable! My one (very small) con: I do wish it had cruise control. Great post Ray! Thanks!

    Thanks for the great review as usual Mr.Ray , but i do have to say matte color on a retro doesn't look good or make sense, when these came out in 70s matte color wasn't a paint job, it was a primer job because u couldn't afford to paint it and were just prepping it for real paint, i don't think this paint job does this beautiful bike any justice, glossy black and silver like last years z650 rs would have been great

That flat grey/black with the gold forks really sets it off. Personally as much as I like that bike, I think I would have to go for the 650 RS variant otherwise I'll be popping that front wheel too much😂

    Kawi should’ve did gold trim on the tank instead of grey/silver. It just looks like they used carry over parts from previous RS bikes. Same goes for the Ninja 500 the Moondust white & passion Red 25s look exactly like the 24s!But still an improvement over the color combos we’ve got over the past few years in the US! I love the new KRT color scheme of 2025 glad they ditched the red trim on the KRT that made it look like a Grinch bike😂 btw Ray I could feel those butterflies on the power wheelies !👊
