    Started my street career on the 1985 600r Ninja and I have it still. I didn’t die. I respected the bike and built my skills. The only time I ever dropped it was at a stand still when the front wheel went into a small pothole that turned it sideways facing downhill. Been through a lot of bikes in 40 yrs but this would be a good choice at this point. Love the paint and the seat hight the old back ain’t what it used to be. I honestly don’t see anything I’d change from stock including the exhaust which is rare for me but a gold tinted windscreen would be swapped out to complete the Master Chief look

    Good points, thanks. I enjoyed riding freeways and roads for 15 years on the Ninja 250s, where they could keep up with traffic and pass it often as needed. The only weakness was going up hills, where it needed momentum if going to pass other vehicles at a good pace.
    Moving up to the '21 Ninja 650, it would have absolutely gotten me into trouble if it was my first bike, as the power is much greater than my 250s and I was saved by them for having less power a few times when speed would've gotten me into big trouble with road enforcement or road conditions. I agree, for public roads where rules are set, the Ninja 650 excels and is a great motorcycle, agile, fuel efficient, long-lasting and fun to ride.

    I've been riding 250cc & 300cc for 15 years, 0 accidents 0 scratches. Never got into a trouble I needed to escape with speed. Don't ever take advice from a fast rider, especially one that's trying to sell you one. Everything on the road will get you off the bike when you go fast: running cat, running dog, pothole, broken chain, rubber from a car's tire and the list goes on... try escaping that with speed. Whatever you choose to ride with, just stay safe and ride smart

      Some areas have higher drug use, alcohol, and erratic driving in general. I’m not sure if you’re from America but it has some of the worst roads and drivers in the world. If you’re stopped and see a vehicle coming full speed right at you, time and speed go hand and hand. 250cc and 300cc are just fine for some people but if you’re more than a seasoned rider who rides across the country, you would understand the practicality of getting up to speed.

Things like gear indicators and antilock brakes never existed hell we had to swish the tank back and forth to figure out how much gas we had. I have still not found a use for a gear indicator anywhere off the track

    Nice review of the 2024 Ninja 650. I have a '21, and a fun bike overall and fully capable on freeways and backroads too. I graduated up from the Ninja 250s, which I had a blast with for 15+ years of riding, again on freeways and backroads. This has that extra power I was hoping for though going up hills, which it handles without any struggle, compared to my prior traded in 250s. But I'll say, if you're not in a race, the Ninja 250 is a ton of fun for many years in my opinion too.

    Excellent review! I agree with 99% of what you said, except I absolutely hate the look of the stock muffler but I won't change it because I like quiet bikes, and hate the sound of the exhausts that fit on this bike. I've had mine since 2018 and absolutely love it ! I been riding since 1985 (62 yo).. most of which were 600 & 750cc track bikes. I may invest in the upcoming Ninja 7 in 2024 as a novelty to add to my stable. ( a Hybrid built on the Ninja 650 and 400 platform )

    I've had my 2009 Ninja 650 since 2012. Still runs great, and it's comfortable. Was a fantastic beginner bike with enough power to have fun and get out of situations like you said, but not so much that I could really get in tons of trouble as a young 17/18 year old. Only downside of mine I'm glad Kawasaki has changed is you have to basically take the majority of fairings off to change the oil on mine. I still have it keep around for nostalgia and fun relaxed rides now. Great review!

I am now selling my 2018 Vstrom 650 so I can reduce my inventory to a bike of 1 (garage space limitations etc), that being my current 2023 Ninja 650 KTR edition w/ABS. Fun bike with plenty of zest, enough not to get into trouble. I have honestly considered swapping for the 8R but not sure I'm yet convinced (love the quick shifter and reversed front forks, the HP and torque - but is it enough to part ways with the reliable and venerable Ninja 650.

      @@farmoboy83 I think the Ninja 650 has adequate power - it's a lot of fun on the road. IMO the downside is the vibration effects once you are at 5,000 rpm and above for sustained periods (highway speeds for longer duration). I can do btw 1.5/2 hrs of highway speeds and then need a break. I think it just comes down to what's most important to you, how you intend to ride most of the time and what bike fulfills those needs and fits you best.

    We really needed a Doug Demuro biker twin. I got my Z650 2023 in september, I'm very happy with it. First bike ever at 39 years old. Though I'm more of a commuter I couldn't resist remapping and changing the exhaust. It was really painful to me because the original exhaust was glorious. The roadsitalia special isn't on par but is sounds far better. Now the map tells me something. This engine hides it's power, because without even trying if you accelerate in 2nd gear it wants to look at the sky and good thing I still use it on KRTC2 because it lifts the tire without me even trying to do a wheelie, as I am not experienced enough and also not that much of a daredevil.

    I have a Ninja 400, ZX6R and a VFR800, been riding for decades with many miles under my belt.
    The Ninja 300 is a bit under powered for sure, but that is not the case for the 400.
    I did a ECU flash, exhaust and velocity stacks and that increased the power of the 400 by 25%, I have no problem hitting 130mph on the 400 and it's quick, nimble and very agile.
    I find my self riding the 400 more than all my other bikes and it's a lot of fun.

      Although that is very true that a Ninja 400 can be modified to become a different animal, but I imagine doing all that to a Ninja 400 will just ending up costing you more than just buying this bike. Again I’m only looking at it financially here.

      No it wouldn't, I'll break down my cost.
      My 2023 Ninja 400 coast me $4750 on sale from my local dealer while selling the 650 for $8200, price difference was $3450.
      The ECU Flash cost me $250, the stacks from Graves was $130, everything else done always get done when you buy a new bike, no one leaves the stock exhaust and almost everyone does things like a tail tighty.
      I still came out ahead by $3000 while having a lighter more nimble bike and just as fast as the 650 stock.
      Bottom line is, you can buy a 400 or the 500 now that costs less than the 650, modify it to meet the performance of the 650, save a ton of money.

    The Ninja 650 fits in as the perfect bike for me.
    There are a couple of important issues though.
    One is the looks, I don't like'em and the CBR looks like Marilyn Monroe in comparison.
    The second one is the sound vs the inline 4.
    But to be fair, this earns the title of beginner bike, the CBR does not, probably not a fair comparison.

Honda makes the 500 to make the maximum power for an A2 licence, and the 650 as the maximum allowed for an A2 with the bike restricted. The cbr650r is probably borderline not a begginer bike, where the Ninja definitely is.

      It’s essentially the same as this bike. Comes down to preference. Same price, same power output, same etc. The only reason I didn’t include it in this video is because there doesn’t seem to be a 2024 model for CBR650R just yet.

    I'm tossing up about buying the 25 650l KRT after riding with someone on that bike days ago and being honest I wasn't impressed vs 24 500 ninja. We went on freeway and take off from lights etc (I'm riding 500 40th). He never pulled away and I really thought id be beaten easily (I believe maybe the rider because even at take off he never got more than a tyre lengths, which doesn't make sense to me)

    It makes sense as a first bike only if you are a heavy person that weights more than 80kg. For light riders, the 400 is a much better bike, 40kg lighter, and with a few modifications, can become even lighter and faster. Weight is king. I myself weight 65kg, and my 400 with mods, is under 150kg and 56HP, does 0~100km/h in less than 4s. That is a rock solid combination!

    • @emadreviews
      @emadreviews  Рік тому +1

      Ninja 400 is close enough to the power and general specs of this 650 that I’d say the upgrade isn’t really worth the price difference between selling your bike used and buying this new. I’d recommend a BMW F900R if you want to go to the next level!

      @TalithavPelt 15 днів тому +1

      I’m not 100% sure but I thought the 650 & z650 have the same engine only the z650 is a naked bike and the 650 is a sports/tour. The ZX-6R is a supersports, so like he explained, you will be way lower and more lying down on the bike. So the first two have a little less power and a more upright seating position.
