412 pounds? How did they do that?

That's like 85 pounds less than my NC 750. Doesn't seem possible. Maybe it's a typo

That is a tight-looking bike, very inviting. I'd like to see more water-cooled bikes play with the Triumph radiator look that goes long and narrow following the down-tube lines, instead of so wide as on this bike and others, but still, nice overall.

The Kawasaki website does say 412.3 wet / 387 dry, so sounds fun.

That seems crazy lightweight for that bike, probably would be quiet a blast to ride

My 2013 V7R 750 Moto Guzzi tips the scale ( I verified it ) at 395 dry. However, it’s not putting out the power the Kawi is.

or the NC 750X @ 58 HP ... but the 2025 V7 is supposed to be putting out 67 hp. That's quite a jump from the 51 of the 2013 MG V7

67 hp, shaft drive and 5 1/2 gallon tank ..thats a great combo.... although for 2025 they are listing the weight at 491.6 # wet

I do like that Z650RS and have sat on one in the showroom. It's on my list of "If I had room for more" bikes.

Everything was ready except for my white bike, which I didn't remove the SWMotech side racks from... and for the same reason I didn't sell it this spring... lazy :blush:
Perhaps will finalize in spring??

I shouild get one...the blue would be like a little baby brother to my w800.

For about 3 years I was on a "buy a new bike, ride for a year, sell" spree...I kinda miss the excitement of that, but now I like my 3 that I have too much to really consider replacing...my only option is to buy a 4th! But...too much energy, too little space and of course the $$$ issue. So fun too see all these bikes...likely, I'd be happy with any number of them as my only bike, but I feel very fortunate to have the ones I do.

Maybe dry weight because the Versys 650 is 70# more at 472.
