Great video. Different bikes for different times in our lives. I’ve been riding for 50 years, rode my 1978 KZ 750(also 2 cylinder) to high school and that’s a big part of the reason I just bought a leftover 2022 Z650RS in this Candy Emerald Green. I’m in my 60’s and moving around my 850 pound Harley isn’t getting any easier. I find myself sitting in my garage just staring at my new Kawasaki. I’m still breaking the engine in so haven’t been able to have to much fun yet because it’s so cold here now. I like your narration, it’s like listening to my buddy talking about one of his past bikes while I drink a beer. Stay safe
Just bought one same colour here in Australia. Only gripe is the soft front suspension I’ll probably upgrade this and a pipe that’s stained beyond repair.
Love the soundtrack music. I bought the 50th anniversary edition, Red and Brown. Love just looking at it. Being in my 60s, the style is what attracted me to this bike. Reminds me of my dad's motorcycle he rode in the 70s. Perfect power and handling for me. Just wish my knees would love the bike as much as I do. Thanks for making the review,
I just bought a 650RS. I'm not a fan of the low seat and I wish the foot pegs were a bit lower. It's the most nimble and quickest bike I have ever owned. The total weight with me on it is just over 600 lbs.😊
The windscreen is great, it's from a brand called Puig. It does its job of breaking wind with highway speeds fine, but you should not expect any wonders of it. I think it's a great mix of looks and comfort without compromising on the retro vibe of the bike.

I can imagine, for me the front suspension is set up perfectly.

Thanks for watching and commenting! The red/brown model is absolutely stunning. Enjoy the ride and stay safe.

How's that little wind screen? Does it keep the wind off your lower abdomen at highway speed?
