Honestly I think kawasaki hit the nail on the head with the design. The shape, round headlight and round gauges are exactly what people imagine when you ask them to picture a motorcycle.
Better looking than the XSR and CB, more modern handling than the Street Twin & V7, way more reliable and cheaper to run than the Scrambler. I think Kawi have done a good job with this. Although I may be biased - I own a Z900RS
I have the original z650 B1 which I brought secondhand in 1980 and love it. It only comes out on sunny dry days and is way cooler than the new one. Not enough cylinders.
Once again Boothy and the 44teeth team knock out such quality entertainment while giving a good honest review of the bike. Excellent work chaps! More endurance racing Nige!
Love Boothy's reviews, a great addition to the 44 Teeth team. Didn't realise he was so fluent in French viva la Boothy. Now to the bike, i am a fan of the retro look but it couldn't be my only bike I don't think. Great work.
Hard to distinguish yourself in this class amongst all the other 70hp 650s.. More power? That'd be missing the point. More electronics? Not needed. One thing I wish someone would offer is better stock suspension/wheels, that would truly set a bike like this apart from a 20 year old SV650.
The irony is that i'd rather have an older SV650 and do some work to it. I don't need a lot of power but i'd like a little more than these bikes offer these days.
@@zepenance9571 me too, but in that case you're not the target audience for the bikes anyway. However, a new rider who doesn't necessarily want to start by wrenching on their bike, should have an option in this class for something with a better stock chassis. Surely there's something manufacturers could do in between the ultra primitive dampers on these bikes, and the expensive components on their premium offerings.
@@dirkmohrmann8960 new rider wouldn't be able be able to use updated suspension which would make the extra cost pointless to a point. The less budget items you add the less budget the bike becomes.
@@bearcatracing007 better suspension benefits everyone, you don't have to be fast to feel the difference. Better suspension means a more stable bike when cornering, accelerating or braking no matter who is riding it. Goes a long way towards building confidence if the bike is at least sprung right, but on these bikes you can't even adjust preload in the front. So a 220lbs rider is stuck with the same settings as a 100lbs rider. At least one of them will be stuck with a wildly inappropriate setup, and thats not exactly beginner friendly. You can't tell me that they couldn't skip a couple bits of chromed plastic and add some $5 preload screws instead, especially if it would set the bike apart from the competition. Adjustable dampers are also hardly rocket science these days, but none of that stuff is even available as an option. I'd rather pay £150 for that than a different paint job.
@@dirkmohrmann8960 what are pre-load adjustments going to do with incorrect springs anyway. As you said one rider could be light or heavy and adjustments will do nothing to suit there weight! It's amazing how many people come used to come into work and ask for suspension adjusted and you pretend to do something and tell them to take it for a ride and they would say it feels so much better yet we did nothing, always loved the shock look on there face when we told them we did nothing! Something to think about.
Nice video! I generally can't maintain focus when watching anything at around 20min without quitting or skipping forward, but managed to watch every second of this one. Well presented, funny, ingenious, awesome personality of presenter and even slick impromptu singing. As far as bike review goes, review felt complete, honest, and unbiased. Great watching, lovely ride and scenery. As an avid motorcyclist, I could easily imagine owning one of these. Chill, good looking bike, not pretending it's what it is not. I found the exhaust note very appropriate, but brings a problem question whether this over Versys... Looks or functionality?
Boothy talking about dog shit for the first 5 minutes is exactly why I came to watch this review, I don’t actually care about the bike, I’m just here for the entertainment
For me there are many better bikes out there, but well done Boothy for making a 20 minute review of a joy to watch. Funny and brutally honest all the way and with added wheelies and fuckaboutery in true 44 teeth spirit
Great looking budget entry level bike, can't wait to try it. I feel most complaining wouldn't buy it ever if it had 4 cylinders or upgraded suspension so irrelevant really.
Like id love it if it had a 270° crank like most of the other 650 twins out there but if you needed to have an inline 4 there is always the 900rs so i dont see what they have to complain about
I love how almost every 44T vid either directly features poop/farts or discusses poop/farts. The Internet needs more content that doesn't take itself so seriously. Loved the review. I like the look of the bike, seems a bit odd to be a twin when the heritage of the bike was a 4cyl but I suppose most people probably won't care.
I once walked barefoot into dog diarrhea and felt the grit between my toes. Then when showering my foot clean the smell triggered severe vomiting.enjoy that mental image
Looks like a fun little B road bike. Also Boothy, if you want to come around and help me clean up the garden after a seven stone, raw fed German Shepherd has made his mark, your more than welcome! His name is Kiyo though if that makes things any easier... 🤣
Great, entertaining review 🤣🤣 Glad you liked the roads. You guys should let us know when yer in a certain area, as you’ve been near us on this one and mighta been able to give you some fun options whilst in the area…….. though I guess you just wanna do the stuff and get home 😃👍 especially as it looks like you got the only damp roads since April. You found a bit of gravel in the bends, but last month the danger was grapes and grape juice spillage from the overloaded harvest trailers 🍇🍇🍷🍷🥂! For those roads I chose to buy a multi V4s, which seems to have been the perfect choice.
@@tokyosmash ok, so one companies success in a certain market makes Triumph a bunch of clowns for some reason?? 🤷♂️ .. How do RE fair in the markets above 650cc??
7:50 I think it has little to do with making the bike this and that, and its just a fundamental limitation of the platform. that 650 engine is essentially unchanged since 2006 and it never had any electronics and never will most likely. Good old Cable actuated throttle can't do any advanced electronic rider aids. I'd bet money on it if say the platform was the RS660/Tuono 660, and they'd make a retro bike identical to this one but based on that platform it'd have all the electronics and rider aids, not because it needs it, not because it fits the theme, just simply because it's already developed for the platform and it's there, ready to be used. This Z650 literally uses the same calipers, master cylinder, levers, engine, exhaust, forks, shock, swingarm, frame as the Z650, Ninja 650 and a lot of the Versys 650.
I have a 2010 ER6 and it really is the same engine. Not that I mind them sharing parts between different models. At the end of the day the 650 class is based around the SV650, meaning attractive looks but basing on a simple package that isn't too expensive.
My very first bike was the 2009 ninja 650. I learned a lot on that bike, especially about suspension limitations! I always thought the bike was fast enough. Now I own a VFR 800 and a Z900RS and 100 hp is fast enough for the streets and believe me I have ridden KTM Superdukes and Aprilia Tuono’s. Love the torque but you just don’t need it.
I was in Marseille two weeks ago and i saw photoshoot of it, it looks absolutely epic. I would buy it straight away if i would be looking for a bike. ♥
The BBB better be good. I'm checking 9 times a day for it to appear, and I'm getting quality things like this instead. No pressure, but it had better be the best thing you've ever done.... 😄
I've owned the original KZ900 LTD and the Zephyr 750. Traded that bike in after a month for a Ninja 600E. Owned that for over 5 years. Yeah I'm thinking about rewiring my flash to pass switch on my MT07 to the horn because the horn button is so close to the turn signal switch. I never use my flash to pass lights anyway, the same with the 4 way emergency switch.
Pretty sweet bike, as you say it comes down to preference, I think I like the Yamaha and Honda offerings in the category a bit more. Cheers on the nice review Boothy!
Get a Z900 RS then. Being that this bike is in the 650 class (SV) it should be a twin. Do you want a 4 cyl that won't pull untill the last couple of revs before redline?
@@HypeRapEnjoyer I own a 05 Z750 and I’m content with it. The 650 twin is a great motor but Kawasaki is using it as a plug and play. Also the howl of the original with a Kerker header sounds great. The 650 sounds not so great.
Speaking of dog shit, I slipped over on some the other day. I was just getting up when another guy slipped over on it and hit the pavement. I laughed and said "I just did that". He promptly found his feet, punched me in the face and called my a "Filthy bastard".
I'm not a fan of the quack twins and I own a z900rs cafe myself. But as a marketing thing and a town pounder for the more casual set I think this would be quite popular.
I feel like one of the biggest draws of retro bikes is the aesthetic. Unfortunately, imo, the exhaust on the Z650RS misses the mark and really affects the overall look. The Z900RS is one of the best looking bikes out there, and that is due in no small part to the beautiful exhaust. IMO the extra $2k is well worth it over the Z650RS for both looks and performance.
No one on merde machine scooter in Marseilles then? One side of scooter has a job wheeker lance to scoop up the mess into a bin on the back. The other side has a power washing lance to clean up what’s left. Now there’s a machine purpose made for the BBB if ever there was one.
Yeah, its a looker. Thats about it. Give me s 270 degree parallel twin or 90 degree v twin any day for smiles per miles tho. So in this category that equates to the less pretty but more fun XSR700, and the trad classic SV650. Forget multis at this cc, ie CB650 or the Trident. Gotta be a twin for torque.
The retro shape is nice, however I know if I had one it would bore me silly and I would be watching the scenery continually until I crashed into the car in front who broke suddenly
I think this is my favourite bike in the sector. The yamaha XSR looks absolutely awful, the Honda is a revvy four that's not really in keeping with how you'd ride this kind of bike. The trident is a bit bland and street twin overpriced. I remember loving the zephyr when it came out and this is kinda the new zephyr. Can't wait to try one. Looks better in black though.
Nice. Even though I don't think I'd want this bike, even if it was free, but the video was top notch! This dude is a seriously good addition to 44Teeth, if you ask me.
Why lean into the turn and hang off like that on the street at moderate speeds? Why not stay neutral or even counter lean? Better visibility and quicker turn in. Safer. Better.
Great review. So true what Boothy says. Personally I don’t get too hung up about the way a bike looks (that’s for posers imo) it’s more important how a bike rides.

Boothy has quickly become one of the best reviewers out there.
Hee isn’t a noob off course.
quickly :D - he has been for some time, it didnt start with 44teeth remember :)
Only if I could understand him better! There are soo many letters missing when he's talking! 🤣🙈 🇩🇪
I hear he runs a mean salmon farm too.
Yea, so good we now know to look out for dog shit 🤣🤣
I proper love your reviews……amusing, honest and great content. Keep being yourself.
There are experienced riders out there that just prefer a middle weight bike for many different reasons. This is not just a "first big bike"
Only at 44 teeth do we get such a fumbly intro and excellent review. With wheelies and French poo.
I thought it was a perfect cold open to a Boothy review. Made me happy. 😆
French bulldog poo
Fucking chuckled so much at this. This is like a conversation we have on our intercoms. Can't wait for BBB. Top work Boothy.
Better looking than the XSR and CB, more modern handling than the Street Twin & V7, way more reliable and cheaper to run than the Scrambler.
I think Kawi have done a good job with this. Although I may be biased - I own a Z900RS
I have the original z650 B1 which I brought secondhand in 1980 and love it. It only comes out on sunny dry days and is way cooler than the new one. Not enough cylinders.
It would have been nice to see them put an air cooled inline 4 in this and the 900 but that'll never happen.
This new "retro" isn't really retro, a _twin?!_ not impressed.
The B1 however, one of my favorites.
Z650b1 is ugly as hell so get over it
Horses for courses. I like twins and would rather have this over a Z900RS. If you prefer fours, get the 900, hey presto, job done!
@@jesuschrist7169 The swoopy integrated Kawasaki styling employed though the 70s was almost universally liked, so your opinion is in the minority.
I love my (non-RS) Z650, perfect commuter and weekend ride.
As an American, I won't say we have the prettiest cities. But Marseille looks a bit woofed. Bit surprised with the graffiti everywhere.
Heroin capital of Europe lol
Saw one at my local dealer, looks nice in flesh so to speak. I like the green and gold paint scheme, and lets face it you need a green one.
well I learned a lot about Poo and Marseille
Once again Boothy and the 44teeth team knock out such quality entertainment while giving a good honest review of the bike. Excellent work chaps! More endurance racing Nige!
Since most manufacturers are going with upside down forks the few regular forks out there just don’t look the norm anymore.
Just done my cbt today and this pops up. Beautiful.
Not usually my kind of bike. But I like it. I also like their new z900 yellow ball. Even if it sounds like some rare kind of veneral disease.
Love Boothy's reviews, a great addition to the 44 Teeth team. Didn't realise he was so fluent in French viva la Boothy. Now to the bike, i am a fan of the retro look but it couldn't be my only bike I don't think. Great work.

Slow mo shots with Boothy, absolutely here for it haha!
Slow mo for a slow bike
@@johnfryman4428 not everyone wants a road rocket to be fair, luckily as bikers we have a massive variety of choice to suit all choices 😎
I can't imagine many young riders would be going for these, go pickup an SV650, Bandit 600 or CB500 for peanuts and it looks the same.
When there are silly finance deals available for most bikes, anything is cheap for under £100 a month
Totally agree ...Bought an sv650 for my son for 700 quid . Superb all rounder. Almost free to maintain.

Should have used a 4 cylinder like the original.
A smaller version of the z800rs would have made for a very cool (and Yamaha beating) bike.

not heard the term 'dog eggs' in a while, i used to use it all the time, made me proper laugh. nice one Boothy
Watched it 3 times since , and this is THE best review .
The part with the dogssshit is just great.
To complete the retro look, this bike needs chrome handlebars. Back in the day, road bikes didn't have black handlebars.
I had a kz650. 1977. 4 into 2 exhaustand S.R tank . . Great bike .
I mean, I suppose it does look like the '09 CBF600N I just did my test on as a new rider..so?
Oh man ,Boothy is such a child ,😹 awesome work mate
“What beautiful roads” completely ignoring the bike
''Bon jouwer!'' :D Nothing better than french with an english accent! :P
Nice. Even though I don't think I'd want this bike, even if it was free, but the video was top notch! This dude is a seriously good addition to 44Teeth, if you ask me.
Sac indeed.
These retro style bikes are gonna sell well. It’s very in style these days especially among the 20-30 somethings. P
44Teeth: Let's shoot this in high definition.
My phone: Let's display this on the lowest definition setting.
🤦♂️
Brilliant style of review, I enjoyed that 👍🏼 You’ll join Chris Moss in my “favourite testers” section 🤣
Uh bro, from what I've seen of the problems in large cities- that's not dog crap.
It's from larger, bipedal Mammalia.
Why lean into the turn and hang off like that on the street at moderate speeds? Why not stay neutral or even counter lean? Better visibility and quicker turn in. Safer. Better.
They should get some credit for having some decent clocks for once. The bloody awful reverse lcd panels Honda insist on using look so so budget.
“The higher we get the closer these clouds start to look…”
After 30 odd years of riding kwakas I'm looking at a smaller bike for the road the zrx1200r breaks the speed limit in First
Still think the exhaust could be more like the exhaust on the original bike they had there, a simple 2 into 1 system, more like the 900 in looks.
Looks great, but the pricing is kinda silly it's only $200 more for the Z900
