  • The torque ninja 650

    6 years ago


    Anbu

    The vehicle was delivered as promised in two months. Torkey engine i would say. I was in 175km/hr still so much torque left. I didn't drive beyond cause of poor visibility of my helmet.

    At so much speed i had a good control too.

    Kawasaki maintenance is cheaper than honda, yamaha. Please don't compare bajaj, ktms, re.

    Can't talk about mileage for these segments, but my bike uses 4.7l/100km .

    Pros:

    Ride position

    Control

    Torque

    Mileage

    Less maintenance

    Cons:

    Weight

    Limited service centre

    Tips for other riders

    Service for every 6000kms. Chain dirt removal and lube for every 1000kms. Use 3m 4 way spray. For chains use 3M chain cleaner & 3m Chain lube. I'm not promoting 3M, but found it best

  • Exhust sound is just love

    6 years ago


    Sumit Moharana

    The bike is awesome.Price of the bike is cheaper as compare to same variant of other companies like hyosung,tnt,etc.Best part of the bike is seating position .It's very comfortable particularly to the gtr650r. Riding is very smooth.Lovable to handling.I am giving 10 out of 10 in performance. Exhaust sound is love.I m mad about its sound.Pickup bhp is mind-blowing. Beast look.That's a low maintenance bike i have ever seen.Best part of this bike you will enjoy a lot to seeing it's performance in roads.

  • If you need smile on your face when you crack open the throttle ninja 650 krt it is.

    5 years ago


    Imzzy

    It was just awesome buying this bike. Loved ninja family from before but this one with new ergo's and styling definitely worth every penny.The handling is nimble the speed just awesome ( faster then any car on road ) except the lambo obviously .:-) if you want to have a awesome bike that looks perfect that goes awesome smooth and comfortable like a sofa. Just go for ninja 650 2019 .Just a bad thing personally i found was the exhaust that doesn't sound to loud but that can be fixed with yoshi alpha work series and that bike would gain more hp and torque and sounds lethal.

  • The beauty within the beast

    6 years ago


    Abhijeet Patra

    First off, the beast catches your eye. Nothing like you have seen before in a 650cc bike. The looks derived from the zx-10r make it unbeatable in designing. The detailing, the styling, the aesthetics makes you want to sit behind the bars. Once you are up on the seat, you can feel your pulse increasing. Immaculately designed dash and an unparalleled seat position, feels soothing to your eyes and body. The pinch of a button makes the engine growl like a hungry wolf. Once you bite the slipper clutch, it's just a matter of time before you see yourself hitting 150 kmph. But not to worry because abs has your back.

    I ride it to work everyday and can't expect better results from a middle class segment bike. No back pain, no knee pain, actually no pain at all. The stop and go traffic might be an issue due to engine heating, but that's the price you have to pay for riding any 600+cc bike.

    On the highway it is a bliss. You could cruise easily at 150 or 160 without feeling uneasy. The tires hold to the ground like a child holds it's toy. The bike holds strong even at speeds above 190 but becomes light once it crosses 200. The fairing and the windscreen helps stop the wind blasts from reaching you. You can easily do 900 to 1000 kms a day without having to rest.

    If only the rear wheels had double disc pad, then breaking would have been a lot better. The front abs works like a charm, but the rear takes your confidence away a little. Even the seat cushioning is an issue. It's hard as a wood. If you don't have a girlfriend then this will definitely give you a love bite. But that can be changed with a simple aftermarket seat cover.

    Pros:

    1. Looks

    2. Engine performance

    3. Power delivery

    4. Seating height

    5. Engine sound

    6. Slipper clutch

    7. Abs

    8. Tyre grip

    9. Adjustable windscreen

    Cons:

    1. Tank capacity

    2. Rear brakes when braking too hard

    3. Headlights

    4. Non-adjustable suspension

    5. Seat rigidity

    6. Not a con but a little more power would never hurt :)

    6 years ago


    Ansh

    The build quality is good . Newer version of kawasaki's mini beast reduce weight of approx 193 kg . New niffin caliper giver better control on braking . Slipper clutch assembly is awesome. Full package and value for money. Cons. Ground clearance is not enough but you can replace your stock exhaust system by akrapovic exhaust system

  • Pretty 650 Raven

    5 years ago


    Mystic Rubber

    Sharper looks makes this bike like a wild bird. This the cheapest 650 sport bike and I prefer this for city rides also as it is easy to flip over like z650. Love the plasma blue colour and it's my favourite one. Handling is good and if you change the stock exhaust then you will notice the bass created by the exhaust.

    Service for every 6000kms. Chain dirt removal and lube for every 1000kms. Use 3m 4 way spray. For chains use 3M chain cleaner & 3m Chain lube. I'm not promoting 3M, but found it best

  • Exhust sound is just love

    6 years ago


    Sumit Moharana

    The bike is awesome.Price of the bike is cheaper as compare to same variant of other companies like hyosung,tnt,etc.Best part of the bike is seating position .It's very comfortable particularly to the gtr650r. Riding is very smooth.Lovable to handling.I am giving 10 out of 10 in performance. Exhaust sound is love.I m mad about its sound.Pickup bhp is mind-blowing. Beast look.That's a low maintenance bike i have ever seen.Best part of this bike you will enjoy a lot to seeing it's performance in roads.

  • If you need smile on your face when you crack open the throttle ninja 650 krt it is.

    5 years ago


    Imzzy

    It was just awesome buying this bike. Loved ninja family from before but this one with new ergo's and styling definitely worth every penny.The handling is nimble the speed just awesome ( faster then any car on road ) except the lambo obviously .:-) if you want to have a awesome bike that looks perfect that goes awesome smooth and comfortable like a sofa. Just go for ninja 650 2019 .Just a bad thing personally i found was the exhaust that doesn't sound to loud but that can be fixed with yoshi alpha work series and that bike would gain more hp and torque and sounds lethal.

  • The beauty within the beast

    6 years ago


    Abhijeet Patra

    First off, the beast catches your eye. Nothing like you have seen before in a 650cc bike. The looks derived from the zx-10r make it unbeatable in designing. The detailing, the styling, the aesthetics makes you want to sit behind the bars. Once you are up on the seat, you can feel your pulse increasing. Immaculately designed dash and an unparalleled seat position, feels soothing to your eyes and body. The pinch of a button makes the engine growl like a hungry wolf. Once you bite the slipper clutch, it's just a matter of time before you see yourself hitting 150 kmph. But not to worry because abs has your back.

    I ride it to work everyday and can't expect better results from a middle class segment bike. No back pain, no knee pain, actually no pain at all. The stop and go traffic might be an issue due to engine heating, but that's the price you have to pay for riding any 600+cc bike.

    On the highway it is a bliss. You could cruise easily at 150 or 160 without feeling uneasy. The tires hold to the ground like a child holds it's toy. The bike holds strong even at speeds above 190 but becomes light once it crosses 200. The fairing and the windscreen helps stop the wind blasts from reaching you. You can easily do 900 to 1000 kms a day without having to rest.

    If only the rear wheels had double disc pad, then breaking would have been a lot better. The front abs works like a charm, but the rear takes your confidence away a little. Even the seat cushioning is an issue. It's hard as a wood. If you don't have a girlfriend then this will definitely give you a love bite. But that can be changed with a simple aftermarket seat cover.

    Pros:

    1. Looks

    2. Engine performance

    3. Power delivery

    4. Seating height

    5. Engine sound

    6. Slipper clutch

    7. Abs

    8. Tyre grip

    9. Adjustable windscreen

    Cons:

    1. Tank capacity

    2. Rear brakes when braking too hard

    3. Headlights

    4. Non-adjustable suspension

    5. Seat rigidity

    6. Not a con but a little more power would never hurt :)

  • Kawasaki's mini beast but with same attitude

    6 years ago


    Ansh

    The build quality is good . Newer version of kawasaki's mini beast reduce weight of approx 193 kg . New niffin caliper giver better control on braking . Slipper clutch assembly is awesome. Full package and value for money. Cons. Ground clearance is not enough but you can replace your stock exhaust system by akrapovic exhaust system

  • Pretty 650 Raven

    5 years ago


    Mystic Rubber

    Sharper looks makes this bike like a wild bird. This the cheapest 650 sport bike and I prefer this for city rides also as it is easy to flip over like z650. Love the plasma blue colour and it's my favourite one. Handling is good and if you change the stock exhaust then you will notice the bass created by the exhaust.
