and will do so rather well , it really ploughs into its powerband ( comfy at around that 4000- 8000rpm range ) and doesn ’ t want to kick you off if you happen to make a mistake . I had almost forgotten entirely about its fuller figure ... until of course I had to move it around the garage . The seating position is very similar to the [ 2019 ] Z650 , and I mean very . I jumped between the both of them often , and there was little difference . I do rate the Ninja 650 over the Z650 due to the Ninja ’ s fairings – they block a lot of wind . After a 30-minute ride down the Auckland Motorway on the Z650 , I looked ( and felt ) like I had stepped out of a wind tunnel . I would class myself as an intermediate road rider , with minimal experience , and a lot of learning to go . This bike really suited my style . If you ’ re in the market for a learner bike and are debating whether the 650 could make the cut , I ’ d recommend giving it a go . To be fair , even if you are on your full and a hobby rider , the full power 650 will tick more boxes than you ’ d expect .
