Kawasaki’s unique take on an urban cruiser

Light, punchy, engaging, mischievous – but also far more friendly and usable than you expect

Every bit as fast and fun as a super naked in the real world, at a fraction of the cost

For those who like their bikes hot-rod style and black

Radically different from the 990 it replaces; sophisticated and seriously capable

There’s joy to hustling such a bizarre machine

Italian with real history; not superb at anything it's a great all rounder

Still a lot of fun but now at the bottom end of the sports 50 price scale

Designed to get commuters out of cars and trains without requiring a bike licence

Basic, trusted, easy to ride and with unchallenging but enjoyable performance

I have a dr650. Carburettor model. It has sat for 3 months at a time and it will start first time. Its ideal as a comuter bike and is happy in traffic and cruising at 120 kph. It will go up to 160kph . Its an affordable option to a german dual sport. And can actually go off road. Bad points.....

Use for track days only, great power and a great positive front wheel feeling.

Handling and comfort at high speed amazing.

My 8th bike, first one I’ve bought to commute in London. Always been outside of London in the past on sports bikes. So it’s Ulez compliant, and has incredible mpg. It updates on the dash constantly and suffice to say you will be saying really 81 mpg?! Really. Bike has a great finish, lots of extras...

I have owned my 'Busa for over 6 years.65k plus miles on her and still going like a scalded cat. 3 sets of tyres since I've had her, Yoshi Cans. Upgraded Front master cylinder to Brembo Radial, Goodridge Lines, wavy discs, Sintered pads, sorted front braking issues.

What can I say about this bike, well I will never understand why they changed 4 into 2 to 4 in to one, it looks awful, and everyone will say the same it totally ruins the look of the bike it looks unbalanced from the back end, and the size of that muffler, looks rediculous, it totally spoils the...

Amazing build quality, the only naked bike I really liked. 1300cc, oodles of power, really turns and breeze filtering traffic. Obviously fuel economy or kerb weight isn’t the reason you will buy this bike, but it’s so rare to find something in market and shaft driven, it will be a collectors item

Probably one of the best bikes around

Comfort and weather protection

This bike is slick and exclusive, but as the original review here notes suffers odd fitment/refinement issues for a $20,000 machine. All the Japanese brand, Harley and Ducati do much much much better in this price range, which is stupid expensive for what it is. I find the engine boring and a bit of...
