2017 Kawasaki Z650 Motorcycle First Test Review Video | Riders Domain
First Test – 2017 Kawasaki Z650: http://www.ridersdomain.com/magazine/motorcycles/reviews/2017-kawasaki-z650-motorcycle-review/
Kawasaki continues to diversify its brawny Z-series naked bike lineup with the Z650 (99). Positioned between the entertaining, but play bike sized Z125 Pro and all-new Z900, which replaces the Z800 and Z1000 in North America, this 650-powered Twin is an affordable and flexible mount for full-size everyday riding.

I’ve been following your Instagram. Didn’t know you’re Adam Waheed! Lol
Voice sounds like Adam Waheed. Used to work for Motorcycle USA which went away.
Loving the new Z. The shootouts with the FZ-07, SV650, CBR650F should be interesting. Waiting for Z900 reviews.
Doesn’t sound like a 650cc to me, and that dash looks very low budget. Can’t see it taking sales from the mt-07.
sounds like Adam Waheed
Better looking than the FZ-07. Great bike, but never could quite get that tank style and plastic rib. I like this a lot.
Good to see you back at it Adam.
Yeah…finally, I found Adam Waheed! Just subscribe!
Adam Waheed! Im subscribe then!
id much rather have a cb650 anyday
Just don’t put a louder exhaust on it. They sound like total ass (especially at idle) compared to the FZ-07 and SV650. Definitely a bike that should be seen and not heard..
Adam Waheed? is that you? I’ve been wondering where my favorite moto journalist went after motorcycle-usa’s end.
damn ugly
i like naked bike, really consider to buy this, the only thing that hold me is the headlight.. it does not represent Z clan double lamp charateristic
Any comparison to the FZ-07 or SV650? I’m considering trading my R3 “up” to something in the 6XX range and am debating the everyday merits of a naked twin for commuting and fun with supersport bikes in the 6XX range.

Did you guys experience any notable vibration in the back end? This guys mentions them a lot at (7:18 – 7:40 and again at 8:00 ) on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b0ZRGHMXu8 curious to get another reviewer’s opinion on the subject?
I prefer the SV650.
