Kawasaki Z650 vs Honda CB500X Comparison

The 2022 Kawasaki Z650 continues to get the same 649 cc parallel-twin engine as before. The motor makes 67 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 64 Nm of peak torque at 6,700 rpm. The motorcycle gets a 6-speed gearbox along with a slipper clutch.The motorcycle continues to get the same features like a 4.3-inch TFT instrument console, smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth and Kawasaki's 'Rideology' app connectivity as well. It is a good option to have in the 650 cc motorcycle category.

The Honda CB500X is a good touring machine and can take on the rough easily too. It is available in two colours - Matt Gunpowder Black Metallic and Grand Prix Red. The one big gripe that we have is the pricing, which feels exorbitant. Honda CB500X is actually a versatile motorcycle and It is perhaps the best-rounded package in the 500 cc space, but customers will have to be willing to pay the price for it.
