Baby sister to the 900 announced.
Been rumored for a while
Personally I think it should be a 4 cylinder and they should’ve put a “proper” exhaust on it for the sake of retro styling
Yes but they were never going to develop a new 4 cylinder just for this bike when all their other 650s use the twin !!
The Green one just about pulls it off; but it would have slaughtered the opposition with a 4 cyl engine; and could probably carried a premium price too; the original Z650 was billed as a 750 beater and it did; still ; it's not bad.
Ok so the engine's very different, but the tank and tail piece do a great job of honouring the original. If I was in that market, I'd look at one just for the nostalgia.
