Ppl say its boring because all the power is at the middle of the rpm range, so you dont have that crazy push below 3500 rpm that makes you instante wheelie and you dont have that 4 cylinder power at the high rpms that makes the bike go faster than you should. You have the power at the perfect range for commuting, touring and overthakes without too much use of the gearbox which is the perpose of this bike.
I have one from 23. I love the bike, it's beautiful and looks awesome. I knew what I was buying cause I really studied the competition and ok, it doesnt have usd forks, a 180 rear section, its not the best sounding and will not go 150 mph but its the best of the categorie (sport touring) for touring with the beautifull fairings and city ride because of the ergos and fuel economy. The same way i know a HD will not go 186 mph, I know this bike is not a supersport and ppl who think it is are the ppl who dont like this bike.
It vibrates cause it’s a 2 cylinder bike and the sound you have to get used to it cause no matter what muffler you put it’s a cylinder bike .. great bike
It vibrates 'cause there is a motor between your legs. Parallel twin motors vibrate. To stop the vibrations, turn the bike off. There, no more vibrations until the next time you go for a ride and you will experience VIBRATIONS. I have the 2020 Z650 and I LOVE how this bike VIBRATES!
Lol funny. The Yamaha mt07 didn't vibrate us much, nor did the CBR 500r. I'm talking about the level of vibrations in relation to other bikes I've ridden. That being said, I still fucking love the bike! It's such a fun bike to wip around. Easy to ride, don't have to think too much.
It's a 2 cylinder engine. It's gonna vibrate. It also sounds like a 2 cylinder engine. If you don't like the 2 cylinder things, breakout and buy a 4 cylinder bike.
I just bought the same bike about 2 weeks ago and have less than 200 miles on it. I, too, notice the vibration but associate it with being a180 degree inline twin. Your negative points mirror mine, but I love it and love the looks. I wanted something with a more up right riding position for sport touring, so I wasn't focused on speed and super sport handling. As for sound, I agree; once you get it in the higher RPM range (which I haven't done much since I'm still breaking it in) it really doesn't sound bad for what it is, and I'll probably keep the stock exhaust because I haven't heard anything better, only louder. Two other negatives I have are the front end being a little spongy and the other being that the throttle seems somewhat twitchy or immediate when shifting into 2nd gear. I saw a video from Moore Mafia that he fixes it with an ECU flash which I plan to do after the summer. I paid $8400 out the door which I think is a great deal. It's a 2nd bike for me (the other being a '22 HD Street Bob) and, so far I'm loving it and certainly meets all of my expectations at the price point.
Had mine about the same time and also around 200 miles. I have the exact same bike as Cloudy.... I love mine.... My buddy has a 636 and yeah its fast and sounds better but I feel comfortable on mine and its enough bike for me for now.... I was coming home from work which is a 25 mile drive and usually take the back roads since the lame 4K RPM break in thing... Said "F" it this time and hit the freeway and varied the throttle. I did take it to about 6500K RPM while doing around 50 MPH, and it instantly mad me LOL and smile! Love my 650!!! BTW....How the heck did u get 8400$ OTD??? Damn! I live in Cali and have perfect credit, got the Kawi rebate and military and they still jacked me for 9500$ LOL🤪
@guambombrc I live in northern VA. I bought it at MotoMember in Manassas, VA. They usually have a good stock of motorcycles. It was listed at $6400 before freight, dealer prep, taxes, etc. Their website shows their current stock and pricing. At that price, I didn't even attempt to negotiate.
I've had a 2022 ninja 650 for a year with about 4300 miles now and just bought a zx6r which is a huge difference to me, like literally double the hp and only 3k more than my 650 cost a year ago however the zx6r is NOT a beginner bike in my opinion, riding dirt bikes my whole life before getting my 650 it felt like a huge step up and exactly the same going from 650 to zx6r
Someday I will bump up to a zx6r. But insurance in NYC sucks big. They just increased my monthly recently. And I have zero claims or accidents. Def will move to cheaper places someday. I got full coverage.
Definitely feel you there haha my 23, krt edition 650 abs vibrates a lot and it’s not a bad bike it’s really fun for sure 💚 I’m only at 222 miles odo and the exhaust mine is still stock I’m getting a new one soon but after maybe a little under a year of having her im gonna trade her in for a zx6r
I just got my full licence and the ninja 650 is gonna be my first bike. I need something for commuting, enjoying the English country roads on the weekends, and the occasional long distance trip. All while being comfortable and fuel efficient. Seems like the perfect bike from what I've seen. Thoughts?
Another problem I have with all of my bikes is with 2 years unlimited mileage Kawasaki warranty there's no chance of upgrading anything until warranty finishes. Restricted as hell but peace of mind wins out for me
2020 Ninja 650 owner here. Great video Cloudy! The vibrations went away on my bike around 1k miles. I suspect the injectors weren't completely balanced during break-in. Something else I didn't like was the front dampening. At first, it felt alittle harsh and wallowy like an old car with bad shocks. I changed to 42cst (from stock 35cst) oil (Torco 20), added preload adjusters, shortend spacer tubes, and adjusted for 30-35mm of rider sag f/r. I'm liking the feel and control alot more. Rear dampening is OK. I'm 175-180lbs with full gear BTW. The throttle has an odd off idle stumble and a dead spot in the powerband around 4k rpm. Otherwise, the bike is flawless. I hope these issues were corrected on your '23. I look forward to your next vid!
Im looking at a 25 650l krt but I have a 40th anniversary 500 waiting at dealership (haven't paid more than $100 deposit). For resale I say 500 but on paper I'd say 650l. Every dealer I have been to doesn't have 650 for test ride and I own 500 already so I need to know does it feel faster or spend $$ getting a 300exc (registered) instead if its same as the ninja 500
I’ve heard that the 400 is a better starter if you’re going to upgrade to a ZX6R is that true or would anyone say starting on the 650 then upgrading is the better route?
If you're ultimate goal is to get to a zx6r, ild say get a ninja 400, ride it for a year. The 400 is a lil bit more aggressive than the ninja 400 in terms of seat position. Ninja 650 leans more towards the sport touring category. My first bike was a CBR 500r (comparable to a ninja 400), only rode it for 5-6 months. When I shopped around for my 2nd bike, I looked into a ninja 1000 and an r6 in my local area. I ultimately decided not to go with such a high jump in power, and settled for a ninja 650; a moderate jump from my 500r. I wasn't ready for a 100hp+ bike just yet. Mainly it was the high insurance costs that kept me away from the bigger more powerful bikes 😭.
GUYS 650 OR 500 24? Is 650l really an upgrade. Australia I have the 45hp Euro 5 Ninja 500 40th (187kmh top speed so far) and because I'm lams for 3 years is the reason why I am undecided between another 40th anniversary 500 or the 25 650l krt (yellow stickers will be coming off immediately 😮)
Thanks, that's what i needed to know. I sold my Ninja 300 because the vibration made my hands and feet fall alseep. Too bad, I really like these bikes.
Had a 300 in 2014 for 3 years. Now I've my 650 since 2016 and the vibration was felt for the first few miles.. perhaps a thousand IIRC? I have now 36 000 miles on it and I still go up to 130-132 mph, curves are so easy and fun since it's light, I'll keep it until it becomes a wreck.
Can't go wrong with yoshimura alpha. No tune needed, so they claim. And I've seen dynos where they found out that the air fuel ratio was good enough to run without a tune. With the baffle in, it's quiet enough to not turn heads at moderate rpms - but can still be loud enough to have fun with once you reach pass 6k rpm. Without the baffle, it's just LOUD and sounds beautiful in all rpm range. But, it's so loud that you will turn heads even if you're just cruising down the block 😂. One issue I have with it is that it's very hard to remove & install the baffle; you basically have to remove the exhaust to install or remove. Leo Vince is also a good one, I've had it on my previous bike, a CBR 500r, and baffle is easier to remove and install. However, sounds a bit too tinny on a ninja 650. Check out there website, they have a sound clip for a z650/ninja650; see if you like the sound. These were the 2 I considered, ultimately I chose the yoshimura alpha exhaust because it felt like it had the best build quality out of the others I've looked into.
Got the white/orange one last week…threw a Arrow exhaust on and wow its amazing … i love this bike, way better than my z650 i traded in….and yes my phone vibrates in holder….im sure the ninja700 will be next year…great video !
This is not kawasaki sport bike . It has raised bars compared to the 4 cylinder 6r. The older ones you could see right away it wasn't sport. Now it looks much more like a sport. 2023 will see the 4 cylinder 6r back and if you check out you will see it is sharper much more sports.
Did you tune your bike when you installed the Yoshimura? I installed one on my 21’ and got it tuned and it sounds like a beast even in the lower rpms. That maybe because I got mined tuned and if you haven’t i really recommend it, gives it a bit more punch!
@@ariavmisra1228 with out the db killer, it's loud af. Hurts my ears loud. You can hear your music but you'll be suffering from the ear damage lmfao. I wore ear plugs when I had the db killer out.

These ninja 650s surprisingly sell quite high. Even on the Facebook market place it seems for above 6-7k. Ild say not worth it if it's from a dealership, not unless you like the convenience. If it's 6,415 dealership and taxes included. Ild say it's fine if it's is roughly around that price. But if they tack on $500- 1k or more in fees and taxes, nah not worth it for used.might as well get brand new 2023.
@@trentmas9210 not worth. Might as well get new. I was in a similar situation. I was trying to get a used ninja 650 2020 minimum, but people were selling 7k mile bikes for 6-7 grand. I just ended up buying new. I did pay more, but didn't wanna give in to the inflated used market prices
People tell me it's because my bike is still new, and the vibrations will become less and less as I own it. Im at 3k miles now and it feels like there is less vibrations. I owned a CBR 500r before this bike, and the vibrations were alot less on that one, then again, it had 15k miles. Def will make another updated review after a few more months.
@@cloudybiker ok interesting, I'm not sure but it sounded like I could hear the vibrations through your voice at the beginning of the video, my 650 was my first bike so I was probably focused on so many other things.
@@JE06product tbh, it's not much of an issue 😁. I love the bike, yes it vibrates a lil bit more than my previous one, but it's also a lot faster and bigger engine. So makes sense that it would vibrate a lil bit more. At the end of the day, I'm having a great time on the bike haha. Enjoy my friend! Ride safe, it's the most balanced bike in my opinion. Cost effective, fast enough for me, great mileage, and comfy.
Interesting view on the vibs. I had a 2017 (first of the new model) and it had a little buzz between 4-5k rpm and above 6k but no vibes to speak of. Hopefully yours goes away or get your dealer to check it.

Loose parts can cause vibration, especially exhaust ones .Another idea is unbalanced wheels .Otherwise handle bar mounts may cause it.

So makes sense that it would vibrate a lil bit more. At the end of the day, I'm having a great time on the bike haha. Enjoy my friend! Ride safe, it's the most balanced bike in my opinion. Cost effective, fast enough for me, great mileage, and comfy.
Interesting view on the vibs. I had a 2017 (first of the new model) and it had a little buzz between 4-5k rpm and above 6k but no vibes to speak of. Hopefully yours goes away or get your dealer to check it.
@@geoffarrowsmith2198 it did go away. But it still ldoes buzz a bit around 3-4k.
I agree sound not the greatest on low end and I have a full exhaust ok my 22
What phone mount is that?

Has anyone cross-shopped this with a Z900 and bought the Ninja 650?

How tall are you?
5 feet 10 inches, I can flat foot
@@cloudybiker I'm 6'4. Just wondering if it's too small for me.
U can buy brand new instead of the price they try to sell used it’s dumb
Yeah man. People out here seeking 8k miles with scratches for 7k lmfao.
I have 2022 ninja 650, $450/yr ins premium full coverage. I thought I was paying too much. Lol
Damnnnnn that's a good price. Where do you live? Which Insurance?
Erie Insurance, I'm in MD. I have good record and senior citizen new rider. That's my first bike.
@@EddieOklang man lucky. NYC prices are insane. Alot of theft here.
28 a month full coverage in Tn😂
@@Scotth44 man, NYC suxxx. Expensive as hell. They increased my rate to 230, even my car insurance went up for no reason. Never been into an accident.
Not gunna take about that nice display that comes on such a cheap bike lol
Oh man totally forgot that 😅
I seen a few videos and the Ninja 400 has about the same power and torque as the CBR 500 I definitely heard the speed is the same
Actually ninja 400 is faster than the cbr 500
@northparkanita3152 Wow, Kawasaki is great
I chose a 650 over a R7 recently. Comfy, tourqy, and way cheaper to insure. $48 a month for 2024!
