Has anyone seen one of the new Ninja 650R's? Personally, I really like the looks of it. It's about time that Kawasaki came out with a bike in the V-twin class that competes with the Suzuki SV650S. I am still riding my Ninja 500R but I'm thinking that when I finish college next year I'd like to buy a bike with a little more grunt and possibly make the 500 a track bike. Hopefully by then their will be some used 650's floating around. Is Suzuki planning a remake of the SV anytime soon?

Any thoughts about the 650R in general?

 

I like it too except for the banana seat.

 

v-twins

 

I think it looks real good. Probably sounds beast too.

 

Yeah I'm not a big fan of the seat either. I wonder if it would be possible to do a swap with the 636?



You know everyone can't be cool like you and ride a ride a I-4.

 

i how ever liked my SV650s! it was a very nice bike and very strong! alot of TQ in my opinion when i saw the the 650 from kawai it looked to small but hey what ever floats your boat!

 

ya kinda like the ducati monsters, but ya ur sv mighta had torque but it was stil sloooooow, haha

but personally, i actually really like that ninja 650 for some reason, its got an unusuall apeal to it

 

$7900 Italian L-twin sounds awesome.........specially with full Arrow exhaust

 

I want to ride that duc so bad but normally v-twins

 

naw.........this thing is a wheelie monster. Lots of torque. We can ride when it gets nice out.
