Z650 is a great bike to learn
on, yet possesses enough
performance to accommodate
a rider's increasing demands as
they mature into higher levels
of ability. A perfect daily com-
muter, the bike's nimbleness
makes maneuvering city streets
and congested traffic a breeze.
To fulfill the creative brief
of building a motorcycle that
would attract new riders, Ka-
wasaki worked hard to deliver
an attractive motorcycle (avail-
able in Pearl Flat Stardust, Me-
tallic Spark Black, Metallic Flat
Spark Black) with an equally
attractive (read: low) MSRP.
Priced at $6999 ($7399 with
ABS) the 2017 Z650 provides
a lot of motorcycle for the
buck. CN
The new Z650
is a great
way to get to
destinations
like this.
