Rode a brand new Z650 RS today, what shall I say (other than what I said in my earlier post).
- 5000 rpm needed in 6th gear, for 100km/h - doesn't feel right, doesn't sound right, and burns too much fuel,
- no main stand, due to the kinky exhaust,
- but more important than that, rough vibrations in idle and up to 3000 rpm, and the manual clutch has a hard time to control them,
a soft take-off made almost impossible.
I cannot tell whether this particular bike had a problem, the dealer said no - but she ain't my fav rave.
