    There’s no question on its performance as its well refined Engine is the same as the one in the acclaimed Ninja 650 ( but tuned differently for a Cruiser). Power and Torque are more than enough for touring. It has reasonably good maneuverability for city riding even though its heaviness and long turning radius can be felt at times. Suspension isn’t great and lower ground clearance is a real pain around speed bumps. If you’re looking for an ‘Entry level Premium Cruiser’ for long highway rides and non-peak hour City commutes, this is perhaps the best available option among Street 750 and Aquila 650.

    By performance, if you mean acceleration and top speed, it is great. The engine is refined, the gear up and down shifts are both smooth and precise and the braking is excellent.

    I would rate it 4 out of 5. Overall an awesome bike which is very nimble to maneuver. The reduced rating is for the poor ground clearance with stock exhaust.

  • Very comfortable, reliable

    Very comfortable, Reliable and plenty of power to cruise at highway speeds.I've put 5000miles on mine in the first year just chain maintenance and oil changes and the bike will run forever.It has lots of low end torque so off the line this bike moves but if you cruising at 70 mph mostly any other parallel twin naked bike will leave you in the dust.But that fine with me this bake checks all the boxes and it looks good as well for the price.

    Reliable cruiser

    Most reliable cruiser.Solid, High quality frame and parts as expected from kawasaki.Having a forward placed parallel twin engine, There is minimum heat felt around the thighs giving it more advantage over the popular v twin engine cruisers.Also parallel twin reduces the vibration of the vehicle, Elongating the life of all the parts.Engine mapping could have been improved as it is still sporty like the other models of kawasaki fitting with the same 650cc engine.The bike always seems to be in an accelerated mode and never seems to settle down at cruising speeds between 100 to 125 kmps.Having listed the pros here are few cons too: poor ground clearance due to bulky catalytic converter and long wheel base.Uninteresting exhaust note.Expensive spare parts.In my opinion: the most practical and reliable cruiser that is available in india at the moment if it is within the buyer's budget.

    It's an incredible cruiser machine with a design and engineering that connects with your soul. The precision and ease of riding bring sheer joy, whether in the city or on the highway. The switchgear is top-notch, offering a great feel and rider's delight. The proven 650cc twin engine is constantly updated for performance.
