Nice video. Felt like I was on the bike. What camera did you use and where was it mounted? Also I was thinking of getting one of these bikes. What led you to get it over say an Mt-07 or Sv-650?
Thank you! I use the Go Pro Hero 9 and a chin mount that attaches to the front of the helmet We learnt on the z’s so it was a naturally choice because we couldn’t test ride anything else. I’ve heard the MT-07 and SV are good bikes
A gorgeous bike, i get mine, same colour scheme, delivered thursday. COming off the CB500f, another parallel twin i always used my front break circuit clicker when engine breaking in any traffic. I assume the ZED has the same. just touching your front brake without using it activates the brake light. It was a great fail-safe because engine breaking on the Honda was so good but i worried people wouldnt know i was slowing down. Enjoy.
Lovely vid, thanks! Cambridgeshire has surprisingly decent little backroads which makes for some fun rides, around off the A10 and Waterbeach areas especially. If either of you see an orange Honda around, give us a wave! 👋🤪
Hi Faye, what do you think of the z650 as a new rider bike? Is the throttle touchy or somewhat forgiving? Also I don't think I saw you use your front brake once, is the engine braking just that good or were you using mostly the rear?
Hi Jay! This is my first big bike and it was the Z I trained on with CanRider for my A license so they’re fantastic for a first rider The throttle is reactive but forgiving. When you close the throttle you lose speed very quickly I tend to use the back break a lot to be honest, the front break is only really used for when you’re going at speed and in a straight line because it can affect the suspension I hope that helps 😁
I have Years of Riding under my Belt The Z650 is not Just for Beginners! Its a really Great Bike! If You are Bit On the Short Side so Easy to Flat foot ..if you are a bit Taller Kawasaki do a Higher Seat The Z650 has Plenty of Low Down Torque... Handles great and is Very Light ..and on Real Roads is Plenty
Lovely ride :) Thank you for sharing. Getting this bike tomorrow
🙂👍
🏍💨
Hi what do you think of the bikes handling in the wet I keep seeing bad reviews on them and its England so rain is a thing lol
So long as you’re careful I’ve been ok so far but I only ride in the wet if I’m forced to

Thank you David, I’m glad you liked it 😁 I’ll keep an eye out! There are some lovely roads towards Downham Market which is worth checking out 🏍

If You are Bit On the Short Side so

Taller Kawasaki do a Higher Seat
The Z650 has Plenty of Low Down
Torque... Handles great and is Very
Light ..and on Real Roads is Plenty
Amazing beautiful amazing location... adding fuel fillups and coffee shop breaks in your next POV video would be better too.
I’ll give it a go for the next POV ride 😁 I’ll be retiring the bike soon so they’re going to be few and far between at the moment
Don't wanna ride with you. Go alone.
Merry Christmas ❤️
