2022 Kawasaki Z650RS

[the Ferret]

Yap, space is the issue, cannot have my third so my white CB has to go to make some room for Z650RS

Ferret is more lucky, had plenty of bikes, has lots of room and only two bikes

Would like to know what our Defender of the Realm feels when he switches from his DLX to NC and vice versa, please.

The CB is my fav by far. If you said I could only keep one motorcycle, the NC would be gone.

The CB is just a joy on every ride. Smooth, love the engine and power and brakes and handling and transmission and looks. It's got it all.

The NC has it's advantages.. it's light, gets great gas mileage, it also handles well. The DCT makes it so easy to ride. It's main advantage though is that it keeps miles off my CB .... 28,313 of them so far.

Brakes are not as good as the CB's, and the motor is kind of anemic power wise, plus I am absolutely NOT a fan of the 270-degree throb which supposedly gives it "character". I wish it had a 360 motor with dual counter balancers instead like my 2003 Triumph T-100 Bonneville had. That was a great P Twin motor.

Every time I ride the CB I think man, I wish the NC had THIS motor.

Unfortunately for me, that 270 motor is the "in thing" right now and everybody is building them, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Triumph. May as well be a V Twin Harley or Ducati or Guzzi or an opposed twin BMW

Shake shake shake, shake shake shake, shake your P-Twin, shake your P-Twin lol
