This weekend, it was a mix between country roads, city roads and a few miles of free way. A trip of 120km (80 miles).
I've only ridden it in cold weather (just above freezing) and rain so far. I'm not a fan of riding in rain, especially not when driving a bike with only 10 miles on the speedometer. The back wheel tended to break out while cornering, but that could also be the combination of new tires and wet roads.
In dry conditions, it's fun to ride. Apart from a little bit of vibrations at higher speeds (+70mph), no complaints so far. Great acceleration, easy to steer, good grip (dry weather), comfortable riding position, ...
Before buying this Z650, if test drove a Yamaha MT-07 and looked at various other bikes : CB500F, Z800, BMW F800R, Suzuki GSR750, ... Price/quality, fun factor and the fact that my Kawasaki Vulcan S never let me down made me stick with Kawasaki and go for the Z650.
