I started to panic a few weeks ago when my fuel gauge started flashing on my Ninja 650 in the middle of nowhere. I didn't have my phone on me so I couldn't search for a gas station and had to just hope for the best. I made it. Who in the hell would buy a bike that has a 40 mile range? That would barely get me to work and back. If there were any detours or traffic, I'd be dead on the side of the road. This bike is dumb.

Really refreshing to see someone actually be critical of the KIPASS system. It felt so gimmicky and cheap when I tried it at the dealership

Cheaper than a Harley? Oh, yes! Definitely a LOT cheaper than an Overpriced, Overrated, Harley! BETTER than a Harley? ABSOLUTELY AND DEFINITELY WAY BETTER than any and every Harley! I have a 2016 Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager 1700 that I bought recently to replace the 2005 Yamaha Road Star Silverado 1700 that an elderly woman (87 years old) TOTALED when she Rear-ended me while I was stopped at a traffic light behind several other cars! And I loved that Yamaha, it was THE BEST motorcycle I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot of motorcycles. My first motorcycle was an old "Harley Davidson Electra Glide." It was stripped down (no saddle bags, windshield, etc.) but it was a Harley! That one CURED ME on Harley's! Constantly having to work on it, and when it did run it was too heavy and cumbersome to handle. And the COST, let's not even get into that one! The "H.D." doesn't really stand for "Harley Davidson," it stands for "Hundred Dollars!" Because everything costs more than $100. And several of my friends bought Harley's, and they were "constantly having to WORK on it" and "put more MONEY in it." Every time we planned a group ride, the "Harley owners" wanted to have a special "WORK on our bikes time" before the Ride! Sorry, but I don't buy motorcycles to have to constantly WORK on them. I buy them to RIDE! I like to RIDE because it's ALL about the RIDE! It's about the JOUNEY... NOT the destination! And I buy the ones that are DEPENDABLE and WELL-BUILT and don't COST me a lot of money just because of "the name" on it. Like the Expensive Leather boots, coats, vests, and chaps, with the "Official Harley-Davidson Logo" on them that are ALL "Made in Pakistan" (the country of OUR ENEMY)! Over the years, I've owned that 1 Harley, a couple Kawasaki's, a Triumph, several Yamaha's and even more Honda's. I considered buying a couple BMW's and Suzuki's but never bought one. I've owned 3 Goldwing's (a 1979, 1982, & 1985) and a few Honda 750-Four's and 550-Four's and Yamaha Virago's. For 50 years I've been more of a fan of Honda's and Yamaha's. I bought this 2016 Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager VN1700, and after putting 1,000 miles on it in the last 3 weeks, I think this one is my "New ALL-TIME Favorite!" I like it even better than the Yamaha 1700 that some woman rear-ended because she obviously was NOT "Paying Attention." Either she was not paying attention to her driving, OR she was too old and had too many health issues to be a "Competent & SAFE" driver! Either way, I got 2 broken ribs a badly sprained shoulder and 2 large hematoma's on my legs and "my Favorite" bike now Totaled because of her. But I thank GOD that I'm not dead, and my body is healing, and I'll be okay. And for those who like to "boast" that "Harley's are Made in AMERICA!" Correction, Harley's are "Assembled" in AMERICA, using MANY Communist Chinese made parts! There are several models of Honda's and Yamaha's (and some other "Jap bikes") that are also "Assembled" in AMERICA! But they're built with Japanese AND AMERICAN made parts. Japan is "OUR" ally! China is "OUR" ENEMY! I'll buy from (and financially support) those who are MY FRIEND & ALLY rather than those who are MY ENEMY!

A ninja 400 makes the same torque. And 47 hp. The e1 makes 9 hp...........a ninja 400 would eat that bike

this is gay as fuck

interesting color but im very happy with my full blacked out rebel 1100

Best sounding Harley!

I had several models in the past, and I truly believe the Rebel 500 is a really nice bike. probably not great in anything in particular, but it is very good in general. And far from being boring, it only depends on what you are looking for when buying a motorcycle.

I totally love the Ninja 650 exhaust and raised handlebars! The ergonomics of the Ninja 650 IMO, beats the Honda sport bikes hands down.

In the Philippines the SE edition is in a matte grey with green lining

harley resorting to electric now? 😂😂😂

What gloves are you wearing?

the CBR650R has a quick shifter option...I wish this had one

Good vid mate! Oz.

Sounds like Doug Demuro.

Im 5 foot 5,is this a good beginners bike to enjoy long term

2.5 hours!? Website says 1.5 hours 0 to 100% using level 2 charging

I wanted the 2024 Kawasaki 500 SE but the the dealer had it listed as $6,200 but when I went out the door price was $8,070+ crazy I walked out

electric bike is for gay boys...we need the screaming sound..

Great Video, first time bike rider here. Do you think this would be a good bike for a 51-year-old? Or do older people prefer cruisers? Thanks

Got one my ninth bike.

Wish the manufacturers would make budget raw sports bike about 100hp

Does it rev match in manual mode?

This thing is objectively gorgeous

What a trully great review. Subscribed.

Cool bike! I've never rode a automatic motorcycle, I need to try one of these bikes. A bit hefty tho but it is a cruiser. Great video! 👍

Great review thanks! Love this bike but its too expensive, which is understandable. Its a piece of art

I cant watch this video, youre way too annoying

No after market support and DCT make this bike a big “No”. Too bad they discontinued the 1100 Shadow.

This is so gay

This bike is basically deacon st John's bike from Days Gone.

Ah yes, the Ninja 450...err 500

Gotta be honest I really like this. Hell for the price you can't go wrong. The Honda 1100 DCT, everytime I looked at a video it was the 1000 T.. Seriously man I like the DCT 👍

Easily the best looking bike out there. Even better than Ducati

No hybrids are not the way forward. It's performance is far poorer than the equivalent 700cc ICE. And at that weight utterly pointless!

Couldn't you just have the wind screen tinted to get rid of the glare?

I have this bike. To turn it on you start in the off position with the turning mechanism, then press in and turn gently to the right, and then once it gets caught you stop pushing in and continue to turn right. Its a bit difficult but after a day or so its easy to get used to.

This bike is prefect for me because I travel country by road so when at custom they will be so many bike I mean so many few hundred thousand bike crossing daily…it will take 40 to 1 hrs to cross country… so with slow traffic below 10kmp this bike just prefect… using ninja 1000sx so stuck at traffic for more then 40 minutes with all the engine heat Daam it’s hot 🥵

The e1 has a dealer installed charger for the rear. Ive not found any dealer not just giving you it for free. So i just bought this bike as my first learner bike. Id litterly never even set on a bike before this. I wss able to ride this within seconds. Not gonna lie im absolutely loving it. Id love for the walk mod to limit tq. It feels twitchy and i honestly find it easier to just move it normally. I hope as time goes in the cost of the bike goes down as it needs to be as cheap as the 500. It also needs to push up to a 75mpg top speed and 80mile range. Its the first yesr model tho so you have to go threw growing pains

Watafoc is that? An electric scooter wirh bike frame? It doesn't even go above 50 miles per hour and it costs like it was a **** 600 cc bike

Automatic motorcycles, they just shouldn’t be lmao. A motorcycle is supposed to be raw and require skill, it’s supposed to be fun. Taking all the skill out of riding sucks

I appreciate Honda nerd talk ❤️

I dunno. This feels like a weird product to me. Unlike an electric motorcycle, you still have to deal with all the maintenance of ICE vehicle - changing oil, valve clearance, etc. It's not much cheaper, either. Why buy this over the Livewire Del Mar or the Zero S? On the other side, I do like that it's automatic. But automatic is nothing new. Electric motorcycles are automatic, too. I own a Honda NC750X DCT. It's automatic. Why buy this over a Honda DCT if all you want is automatic? I imagine it's hard to find a mechanic to work on this thing. You have to be familiar with hybrid vehicles. This is the only production hybrid motorcycle on the planet. You have the same issue you have with an electric motorcycle - trying to find someone that can actually work on it. This is also a very strange choice for their first hybrid. Why not the Versys? Cramming all this into a Ninja had to be a pain.

It's strange to me that they decided on a parallel hybrid rather than a series hybrid, where the motor only charges the battery, and the wheels receive mechanical power through the electric motor alone. Especially since their goal was efficiency rather than performance, which i thought wasn't the case. In a series hybrid, the engine can be fined tuned for efficiency at a single RPM, whatever is enough to charge the battery while the EM is running. You could also have a smaller engine and ditch the gearbox and mechanical drivetrain, reducing weight and increasing durability. You lose the top end performance of an ICE, but that seems a lot more inline with Kawasaki's goals here. I'm not an engineer, or even all that smart to begin with, so if anyone knows why they would choose a parallel hybrid, please let me know!
