Pros Cons Kawasaki Z650RS

Pros

  • The retro design pays tribute to the classic Z1.
  • Its 650 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engines makes exciting low and mid-range grunt.
  • It has an assist and slipper clutch to keep the clutch action light, which is handy in city traffic.
  • The riding posture is friendly owing to the 800 mm seat height, a narrow midsection and wide, upright handlebars.
  • Front end uses dual 300 mm discs, and the rear has a 220 mm one, along with dual-channel ABS for sure-shot stops.

Cons

  • The 125 mm ground clearance needs you to be careful while going over tall speed breakers.
  • You will experience considerable windblast at highway speeds due to the absence of wind deflectors.
  • The telescopic front forks do not have adjustment options to fine-tune the damping characteristics.
  • A classic naked stance leaves you fully exposed to windblast during extended highway stints.

Verdict

The Kawasaki Z650RS gives you 1970s styling with modern engineering. Making it special, is its punchy parallel-twin engine’s performance, neutral riding position, and exceedingly agile persona.

However, its low ground clearance, modest 12-litre fuel tank and nonadjustable front forks can hamper the overall experience substantially. That said, if you want authentic retro character married to Japanese reliability, the Z650RS is a compelling option.
