Review

The 2015 Kawasaki Ninja 650 L ABS is a middleweight sportbike designed for riders seeking a manageable yet exciting experience. As part of the Ninja 650 lineage, it builds upon Kawasaki's reputation for reliability and approachable power. Its direct competitors include models like the Yamaha FZ6R and Suzuki SV650, all vying for attention in the competitive learner-approved motorcycle segment.

At the heart of the 2015 Ninja 650 L ABS lies a 649.0 ccm parallel-twin engine. This powerplant produces a usable 56.0 Nm of torque at a relatively low 4000 RPM, making it forgiving and easy to manage, especially for newer riders. The fuel tank holds 16.00 litres, offering a decent range for commutes and weekend rides. This engine characteristic allows for smooth acceleration and predictable power delivery in various riding conditions.

The Ninja 650 L ABS offers a comfortable riding position, leaning towards a slightly more upright stance compared to track-focused sportbikes. The seat height is 805 mm, which should be accessible for a wide range of rider sizes. Its suspension is tuned for street use, providing a compliant ride on less-than-ideal road surfaces. The addition of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) provides an added layer of safety, particularly beneficial for less experienced riders or in challenging conditions.

The 2015 Kawasaki Ninja 650 L ABS is ideally suited for riders who are new to sportbikes or looking for a practical and fun machine for daily commuting and weekend enjoyment. Its user-friendly engine, comfortable ergonomics, and ABS make it an appealing option for those seeking a confidence-inspiring and stylish motorcycle. It provides a great stepping stone for riders looking to eventually move up to larger displacement sportbikes, while still offering plenty of enjoyment in its own right.
