Kawasaki Z650 Review: Power, Style, and Everyday Performance

everyone welcome back to my YouTube channel tow wheeled.
Today, we're diving into the world of middleweight naked bikes with a sharp, stylish, and incredibly versatile bike—the 2024 Kawasaki Z650. Whether you're a new rider looking for something approachable, or a seasoned rider seeking a fun commuter or weekend toy, the Z650 is definitely worth a closer look.
The Kawasaki Z650 is part of the renowned 'Z' family, which has been a staple in Kawasaki’s lineup for years. Designed with a sharp, angular style that reflects its sporty DNA, the Z650 stands out with its Sugomi-inspired design—a signature look for Kawasaki’s naked street bikes.
This year’s model comes in some bold color schemes and retains that aggressive, muscular stance, while still being compact and light. It's got just the right balance of attitude without being intimidating, making it great for a wide range of riders.
Powering the Z650 is a 649cc parallel-twin engine, producing about 67 horsepower and 47 lb-ft of torque. Now, that might not sound like a ton, but trust me, in a bike that weighs just over 410 pounds, it's more than enough to deliver a punchy, responsive ride.
What I love about this engine is how usable it is. Whether you’re cruising through city streets, commuting, or carving up mountain roads, the Z650 feels light, nimble, and full of energy. The torque kicks in early, giving you that perfect blend of fun and practicality. And the exhaust note? It’s got that signature Kawasaki growl—enough to let you know this isn’t just a commuter bike.
One of the best things about the Z650 is its comfort and rideability. Kawasaki’s done a great job with the ergonomics. You get a slightly upright seating position, with handlebars positioned just right for a relaxed yet sporty feel.
The seat height is a rider-friendly 31.1 inches, so it’s accessible for shorter riders, but still comfortable for taller riders as well. The suspension is well-tuned for a variety of riding conditions. It’s firm enough to handle spirited riding, but forgiving enough to soak up the bumps on rough roads.
Technology is another area where the Z650 shines. This bike comes with a full-color TFT display, giving you clear and easy-to-read information like speed, fuel level, gear position, and more. Plus, it now features Kawasaki’s Rideology app, which allows you to connect your smartphone for things like notifications and bike status.
ABS comes as standard, and while the Z650 doesn’t have some of the higher-end electronics like riding modes or traction control, it’s simple in the best way possible—just you, the bike, and the road.
So, what does the Z650 cost? Kawasaki’s priced this bike very competitively, making it one of the most affordable middleweight naked bikes in its class. In 2024, it starts around [insert updated price], which is great value for everything you’re getting.
It competes with bikes like the Yamaha MT-07 and the Honda CB650R, but where the Z650 really stands out is in its overall package—sharp handling, a punchy engine, and just the right mix of modern features without overcomplicating things.
At the end of the day, the Kawasaki Z650 is an all-around fantastic choice for a wide variety of riders. Whether you're a newer rider looking for your first big bike or a more experienced rider who wants something light and fun for city rides and weekend adventures, the Z650 delivers on all fronts.
With its aggressive styling, engaging performance, and rider-friendly features, it’s hard to find a middleweight naked that’s as well-rounded as this one. It’s fun, practical, and most importantly, it's pure Kawasaki.
