Kawasaki Z650
The Kawasaki Z650 has a top speed of 185 km/h, produces 68 hp and weighs 187 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
A Kawasaki Z650 foi originalmente introduzida em 1976 como sucessora de peso médio da Z900 maior, oferecendo uma opção de bicicleta nua mais acessível e leve. A placa de identificação foi revivida em 2017 como um moderno lutador de rua nu construído na mesma plataforma do Ninja 650, com um refinado motor duplo paralelo de 649 cc com estrutura de treliça. Ele permaneceu popular por seu equilíbrio entre desempenho, usabilidade diária e herança de estilo agressivo da série Z.

O que os compradores devem saber
Proven Reliable Engine
The Z650 shares its 649cc parallel-twin engine with the Ninja 650, a powertrain with a strong reliability track record. With proper maintenance intervals, owners commonly report 50,000+ km without major mechanical issues.
Watch for Recalls
The 2017-2019 models had a known fuel pump recall that can cause stalling — always verify the recall was addressed before buying used. Ask the seller for service records confirming the fix was completed.
Strong Resale Value
The Z650 holds its value well due to consistent demand as a beginner-friendly naked bike with a sporty look. Used examples typically retain 70-80% of their value after two years, making it a smart buy and resell.
Gerações e especificações por ano
O Z650 original foi lançado com DOHC de 652 cc em linha, estilo URS clássico, freios a tambor e a disco.
"A resposta do Japão à CB550 — e ela vence."
A Z650 atinge o ponto ideal em que uma bicicleta é genuinamente rápida sem ser intimidante: aquela DOHC four puxa de forma limpa a cerca de 3.500 rpm e ultrapassa as 9.000, o que ainda surpreende os ciclistas que esperam suavidade em meados dos anos 70. O manuseio é firme e preciso para uma máquina de 230 kg; a estrutura inspirada no URS mantém a extremidade dianteira honesta em curvas rápidas, embora a suspensão padrão fique encharcada sob uso intenso e os amortecedores traseiros só funcionem por cerca de 20.000 km antes de serem embaraçosos. O freio dianteiro de tambor inicial é genuinamente inadequado quando você leva a bicicleta ao limite — a troca intermediária para um disco não era opcional, era necessária — e o consumo de óleo e o ruído da corrente da câmera lembram que este é um design com mais de 40 anos que precisa de manutenção cuidadosa. Viva com uma adequadamente e isso o recompensará; negligencie as folgas das válvulas e você ouvirá falar sobre isso.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"A genuinely sorted middleweight that rewards riders who outgrew 400s."
$5,500-$8,500 usedThe Z650 sits in a sweet spot that Kawasaki nailed almost immediately — it's a middleweight naked that doesn't punish you for not being a professional racer. The 649cc parallel-twin pulls cleanly from low revs and doesn't run out of breath until well past legal speeds. It's genuinely flickable in traffic, and that trellis frame feels confidence-inspiring without being nervous. Used examples are everywhere, which tells you something about how many people bought them. Watch for bikes that lived a hard life as learner machines — check the bar ends, footpegs, and tank for scrapes. The suspension is the weak link on stock setups, particularly the rear shock which goes soft surprisingly quickly on heavier riders. Pre-2020 bikes miss out on the revised slipper clutch and slightly smoother fueling, so I'd target those newer examples if budget allows. Brake disc wear is worth checking too, as urban commuters chew through them faster than you'd expect.
