I just bought the ‘24 Ninja 650 Black & Gray with ABS. I been riding for over 7 years and I’m coming from a Harley. I wouldn’t even consider this as a “beginner” bike what so ever. This bike is amazing for new and seasoned riders. I absolutely love it and it has more than enough power. I put a Yoshi exhaust on it and it sounds amazing. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase.

I usually don't comment a lot but I have to say something. I just got this review recommended by KZfaq and I already love the review. I'm gonna watch a few others. I'm planning to get my motorcycle license here in germany next year and these reviews are gold. Already looking forward to next years reviews. They might help me decide on a starter. The only thing that's bothering me is you not wearing enough protective gear. I know these are short rides but anything can happen anytime. The people driving those metal cages won't have to many problems if something were to happen but you probably would. Please ride safe

Ive been considering a 650 for my first sport bike. I've been comparing it to other "beginner" bikes. This bike would do highway speed comfortably which is a major selling point for me plus insurance on this bike is CHEAP. I was going to get a zx6r to use for riding lessons and track days, but the insurance on it costs more than the monthly payments to buy the bike😂

Everything's subjective but Ninja 400 is more popular for a reason More bang for the buck plus sportier. Lots of people turn 400's into track bikes, nobody tracks these. 400 is lighter which = more fun throwing around and easier to maneuver (downside is if you're cruising down the highway at 90mph and there's a crosswind, the 400 will get blown around) Yes, all Kawasaki's should be green!

true. i bought my ninja 400 brand new last year and i could not possibly convince myself to spend thousands more for a way heavier bike with not much of a performance increase. Plus they didn’t have it in white. I love my ninja 400 and i won’t get another bike for one more riding season. Then i’m gonna just keep my N400 for putting around and maybe tracking. It’s $16/mo to insure and gets 50-70 mpg depending on how in ripping it. No reason to let that go👰🏽‍♂️

Another great video! Very much agree the ergos, and lack of crazy horsepower make it a great beginner bike and daily rider. The one bugaboo for me is the suspension. On one hand it is another reason it's good for a new rider... nothing to mess up. I am a novice at suspension, but as someone who does like to get bike setup specific to my weight/riding style, that would be the one small issue for this bike. Keep banging these out. Will your dealer be getting the Aprilia RS457??? Would love to see your review on that one. Another entry in the ever-growing small cc weight class.

Everything on it can be sorted. I have the 2017 version, did extremely well on the G2 track all modded up. I'd say better tires, upgrade front and rear suspension, ecu flash, exhaust, air filter, velocity stacks are all you need for street, for track, clip ons, braided brake lines and rear sets also. The price with todays inflation is a little nuts though, I think I paid 5200 new for mine year old new stock.

The looks makes me want to get it. The engine (including sound) is what makes me hesitate and go for the Z900, but then again, i prefer fairings a bit more than a naked. Tough choice, and most likely the price difference is. what will make me get the 650. Being a beginner driver (never owned a bike so far) it might be a bit wiser to start on the 650. The value of it stays quite high, so get a new one, take care of it, ride for a year, save some money to add this once i sold the 650 and get the Z900 is the current plan

@@Snotroggel453 I am in a serious doubt. As said earlier; the looks of the 650, the lower price compared with a new Z900, it does pushes me towards the 650. I had my lessons on a Z650 and I must admit that this engine ain’t that bad right. For sure I will eventually grow out of it but at that time I will have at least some initial experience with a more “forgiving” bike.

Ray to be real with the kawi 650 line up catches flack from fast boys and the highway pull types. The 1st time I rode one was a er6n then the ninja. Now I’ve rented the z650, verseys 650, 650rs, and Vulcan s. They all have surprised me in how good they truly are. They are more bike than many can ride full tilt. But easy to ride. I will be getting a Z/RS or a Vulcan S soon to replace my commuter Ninja I’ve had since 2007. I got it from y’all’s store way back when. 😂

@@RayBowdenRides Had a chance to test ride the 8R at my local dealer, was disappointed with the rough down-shifting. A day later, did a demo ride at MotoAmerica Road Atlanta where Suzuki set-up a 30 minute road course, and I was pumped at how smooth, powerful and easy this bike was to ride. Indeed enamored with the bike and now I'm considering letting go of my 2018 Vstrom 650 for the 8R (Vstrom being a bit top heavy + a bit of a challenging seat height being under 5'8").

Just picked a 500 up, 2nd bike technically, but my first was a used 2015 Honda CB500F. They're both very tame bikes, but I imagine the 500 being more friendly starting out over the 650. The one thing I would note, even with the SE model, if you're in a high wind zone, you might want to really tuck in. I'm 155lbs on this bike, it's very light at 378lbs, you'll feel it on highways, it didn't bother me as much till I passed some windmills. Outside of excessive speeds, you take this on the street or canyon carving and you'll fall in love. Get the SE, has the bigger windscreen, frame sliders, Rideology app, keyless system, etc. Wish it didn't have ABS, but a small nitpick. 55mpg breaking it in, I think 60mph is easy highway, 50 on city.

I`ve been study them for a while and see the potential in both of them...with the 650, with 600cc and 68 hp, very good consume as well. And the zx-4rr even with the 400cc but the 80hp and the other features that bikes offer on of them that it was verry nice the quick shifter, from your professional perspective, do you think it will be a "boring" bike?

Ok let me put my 2 cents in here. Im gonna say its not a beginner bike! I have been riding since 1977. I took classes 20 years ago and i think i can ride. My everyday bike is a 2005 vulcan 1700 classic. I also have a suzuki M109R. I have done tail of the dragon with a harley ultra classic at top speed and never ever went down since 1977. With that said, 3 months ago i bought a 2024 ninja 650, today 3/16/24 was my firat time taking it out. I left driveway and rode 1/4 mile down street to stop sign. As i started off and turned right the bike went out from under me and i slid on my ass about 8' and bike slid about 20' from me. There was NO warning, i had no time to react or recover, it went right out from under me in a thousant of a second. No idea what happened. Never expected it. No idea what happened. Not a beginner bike.

If this is a beginner bike then what do you call ninja 300 /400/ 500?? 650 CC... That directly competes with Daytona, CBR 650R segment bikes. And those bikes are not for beginners & the same goes for Ninja 650.

@@RayBowdenRides yes you are correct. However, Kawasaki has introduced the Ninja 500. That we can consider a beginner bike because it gives riders a room for learning. Electronics aid is great no doubt however you cannot learn with these that much effectively. Throttle response, trail braking, cornering & many such skills can be learnt better when we as a rider understand how our bike behaves. Electronic aid such as traction control is simply putting bike at work & not the rider. He won't understand throttle response. That's what my opinion is. Our definition of a beginner bike might vary I think.

I know it's to catch the eye, but this bike is a nightmare to none of it's competitors. It's the least exciting bike in the parallel twin segment,. IMO obviously.
