The 2024 Kawasaki Z650 and Z650 RS are very similar bikes, but there are misconceptions about each bike. In this review, I talk about the misconceptions, and compare these two awesome bikes in detail!

That dash on RS is just awsome looking. I would like to have analog dash like that and not just boring digital instruments. I was born before 90's so maybe that is the reason.

@PeterLoweOne 3 ай бұрын

I love the dash on my Z900RS SE! It's funny how with all these TFT's showing up on bikes and other style screens in cars, how much we appreciate the classic style and functionality that these gauges give.

I’m digging that red RS with gold rims. Wasn’t that the special edition colour they had for the 50th anniversary edition?

@PubRunner Ай бұрын

For the RS I have just ordered the Kawasaki panniers for mine. It has different mounting rack thingy. That’s from Kawasaki Australia. Also on the freeways the RS is easy for me to tuck so I am not so much of a sail.

Nice to see these newer 650 motorcycles compared. Great review, they look great. Thanks! I do prefer a larger fuel tank when possible for longer range. My Ninja 650 4.0 gallon tank can go 200 miles safely most times with 15 miles to spare from a full tank before empty with regular riding.

@PeterLoweOne 6 ай бұрын

Yeah, the 12 litre tank on the one bike is the minimum that I'd want, but it might be perfect for most riders of this bike. Big tanks up high can make bikes feel top heavy too, so full or empty, this bike may not have as big of a change on how it feels as far as higher centre of gravity.

Primary school english, pronounced zed normally, but zee if followed by an e , Zeebrugge or New Zealand.

Great review ! Which RS would be the most retro and keeper ?

@PeterLoweOne 6 ай бұрын

I'm biased because I bought the Z900RS but I've owned a Versys 650 in the past which has the same engine as the Z650 RS. They're both great bikes. It just depends on which one is best for you.

Kawasaki Green makes me want to gouge my eyes out

@PeterLoweOne 6 ай бұрын

Having spent time working with this dealership for about a year, and with more time on KZfaq, I think even Kawasaki knows that green is only going to sell to a limited audience, and they need to diversify their colours to sell even more bikes. I've owned 3 Kawasaki's, and I like the green, but none of them have been green.

@lena19191 5 ай бұрын

Yeah I hear the green thing and agree but I’m ok with it as lots of GPZ from the 1980 were a red/black combo . So I look at it as dirt bikes green , road bikes red . Hope the Z is going well , ride safe 😃

Good job. Honda makes you pay more for looks too on the trail 125, monkey 125 and super cub 125. And if they bring the Dax 125 to the USA I’ll pay more for the look too lol.

The Versys 650 has a different Engine. Different engine induction, different compression ratio etc..

@PeterLoweOne 6 ай бұрын

Kawasaki's own information doesn't show that. Same 10.8:1 compression ratio on the same engine. There are minor tweaks to fit the powertrain into different bikes, but it's absolutely the same engine etc.

@@PeterLoweOne I dont know where you got that information, i got it at the kawasaki dealer. I had a versys and my wife has a z650rs. A quick search online and you will see that even the torque, horsepower and the cc are not exactly the same.
