Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I'm a city rider. I want to know which amoung z650 and ninja650 is best in comfort while in traffic
  • The Ninja’s newfound soft touch has grown it into a more agreeable and well-rounded motorcycle that will allow it to fulfil more roles and appeal to more riders than before. It definitely feels more upmarket too, thanks to the new design and lengthier features list, so there’s no problem justifying the premium over the BS4 bike. It’s also the one here that gives you a big-bike feel from the saddle, which the Z, with its 390 Duke-like proportions, doesn’t succeed at. on the other hand, the naked in the lineup has gone in a whole different direction. The Z650 was once the pragmatic, sensible choice in the 650 lineup, a sort of jack of all trades. Previously most at home in an urban environment, this BS6 update has introduced chinks in the Z’s armour in the form of harsh low-speed ride quality and a suspension setup that feels crude and unsophisticated. These changes alienate the once-friendly Z, and our recommendation would hence be to shell out the extra Rs 30,000 (a rather insignificant premium at this price point) and go for the fully faired sibling. You may compare both bikes accordingly. Do take a test ride for better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.

    Like most of the people 

    Like most of the people here I don't own kawasaki z650 2020 model but still I am writing this review. I don't know how others know about the pros and cons of the bike without riding it. Please wait for the test ride and thereafter you can reveiw it. As per my research it is one of the best entry level sports bike.

    Main issue 

    The main issue is the ground clearance Heating issue is a bit on the hard side but still it heats a lot and i drove it only for 30 minutes but it was like burning. No proper exhaust as Benneli and a bit of clutch issues.... cuz slipper clutch doesn't work the way it should

    Daily commute 

    The Z650 is a bike which you can use for weekend fun ride or for daily commute. The 650 engine is peppy and can generate torque in any gear. The engine is very good and no problem so far. The maintenance cost is a little high apart from that its a fun to ride motorcycle
