Best Kawasaki Naked Bikes
Kawasaki Ninja 650
At last found my perfect bike at 79 – Didn't get my licence until I was 72 and started on a Yamaha VStar 950, too big! Then sized down to a Kawasaki 650 Vulcan S. Good for touring but… Read more
wanted something a bit more flexible for tackling the twisties with my mates. From there to a Yamaha MT03. Loved it ! great little bike with plenty of get up and go with excellent handling but not so comfortable on long distance touring. At a mates suggestion test drove the Ninja 650 and traded in the MT03 the same day for the 2021 model. Just done 500 klms but already over the moon with the handling in the twisties and cruising at highway speeds. Already convinced that this is the one for me.
Kawasaki W800
It does not fail in any area and delivers in all – Kawasaki delivers on it's intended purpose, a modern golden oldie. The closest comparison probably an 850 Norton. Handling is solid and good enough.… Read more
Performance is as expected but with more low rpm torque than expected. Brakes. Progressive with good feel and power. Riding position near perfect (pegs 25mm forward ) Seat comfort very good even after 5 hours riding. Vibrations, well probably best described as pulsations. No numb fingers. Headlight good in spread and range. Love the twin analogue instruments. If one wanted to be picky, the rear shocks could have more damping, compressive & rebound, but ARE not an issue. For the market/owner Kawasaki targeted, they have in my opinion "nailed" it. If your used to sports/cruiser/adventure bikes this will be different. Just a nice, nice, machine.
torque, style and a fuel eater – Had my z1000 2012 model now for 3 years. The same motor as the ZX10R but tuned for torque, this bike is an animal. I am 78 kg and thought the bike is… Read more
240kg the design means it is not heavy at all. the seat height is low and the bars are comfortable enough to ride all day.
Kawasaki Z900RS Cafe
Excellent bike with some flaws – Recently bought Kawasaki Z900rs 2022/23 Black with red stripes ( non cafe version). Looks amazing. It's has a powerful engine with a retro look. The… Read more
engine loves to rev & bit jerky on low gears. seat is comfy for rider as well as pillion passenger. Only issue I have found is the snappy/jumpy Throttle ( ECU flash might help, however, might void the warranty) and is not cheap to do) Other one is the seat height, I'm 5'8' ..and I'm tipping toeing. might be a problem for shorter riders. Definitely not for Learner riders. * doesn't come with grab rail so sometimes its hard while getting out of parking.
I hope this helps
Great Bike – I absolutely love this bike! Z125 is by far the best bike for having some great fun riding around. I wouldn't buy any thing else in its category. … Read more
This is only the base model and it still does so much. It's performance was surprisingly fantastic for a base model product. I recommend it to my friends and family.
