Beautiful green Z650RS, for sure better quality and more reliable than Guzzi....cheaper with more dealers around.





Dont like this exhaust system but....

Will visit Kawi dealer next week and provide feedback.

I too am unsure about that exhaust..looks like they ran out of cash.
Wonder if the aftermarket will offer a nice chrome 2 into 2 style like the original had?

The lump is similar to that on the Versys 650 LT. It ought to be reliable. It has been around for awhile.

I like the exhaust. It is maybe heard, but not seen.

I think I like the rims.

The bike is another Kawi Tic-Tac, so sadly it won't fit me. However, the Versys 650 frame did.

I am unsure if it is more reliable than Moto Guzzi, however given Japanese prowess for consistent operation, I am sure it won't be a disappointment.

Kawi fit and finish will definitely not be up to CB1100 standard. But that is okay because this bike will be quite affordable.

I'd rock that. And I like the exhaust. Few factory cans look nice. At least this one doesn't draw attention to itself.

Good looking retro, although a 650/4 mill would be better lol

We're entering the age of the middleweight twin bike. Everybody has one, some shops have several. I think 4 cylinder bikes under 900ccs are a thing of the past. Triples may be on their way out too. Emissions man.

Yea I know, I have one (NC 750X). Not nearly the powerplant a good 4 cyl is IMO.

Curb weight is just a bit over 400 lbs. Light and nice to look at. I'd love to have one as a second bike.

I will stick with my Z900RS, to which I added the Akrapovic Headers & Muffler!

Bet that is a hoot to ride Michael
