On my new 2019 Kawasaki Ninja650 with the tall seat and windscreen. Excellent commuter/ sport touring bike for anyone that is too big for the R3.

2019 Kawasaki Ninja650. Completely redesigned in 2017. 43 pounds lighter. More fuel efficient. Perfect accessory tall windscreen (that is the stock screen) for riding in the rain. 73 mpgUS from the detuned torquey twin. Perfect headlight beam with the powerful DDM Tuning Saber 50W LED's.

Congrats Scott!

That looks sharp. Back in '06 I was considering the Ninja 650, but went with the SVn instead. Never regretted it, but the new Ninjas really look nice. Just couldn't get excited about the original.

You know how to get the big numbers! I usually see 50 mpg out of my SV - in-town or on the hwy at 70 or so. Did a 1000 mi weekend last year, cruising right about 80 actual, and only did mid 40s. The SVn (naked) just doesn't like to go that fast even with higher gearing.

Tons of wind buffeting on the hwy at those speeds that really beats you up by the end of the day. Did the last 1.5 hours of our 12-hour day in the rain...at night...in construction...long day. Was glad to be home safe!

I was really wanting some wind protection that day!
