2024 Kawasaki Z650RS

Engine: 649cc, 4-stroke, 2-cylinder, DOHC
Power: 67hp @ 8,000 rpm
Torque: 48.5 lb-ft @ 6,500 rpm
Weight: ~412lbs

Does anyone have one? This one is in my top as a contender for my next bike. It's a little pricier with a smaller engine than the XSR700 so not sure which way to choose.

I don't have any retro series bike, but if I was given a choice between an MT-07 and Z650 for the same price I'd choose the MT-07 easily, due to the better engine (best sounding p-twin imo) and the hooligan feel of the MT-07.

So I guess I'd rather have the XSR700. But if the Z650RS really speaks to you, go for it!
