I'm awaiting a succinct and damming review from Cheesy.
Well tough shit, because I quite like how it looks, but now I'm torn, new R7 or new Z650RS?
Though either will require spending the best part of 8 grand, I can feel the cold sweats already, but it would be nice to have a bike that'll run on modern fuel.

Lol no happening. Just no chance
You're right, it's going to be like the Z900RS again, I'll fancy one until I look closer, think "that looks cheap and nasty" and not but anything.
The only Kawasaki I've had the misfortune to own,a Z650 cost me more in oil than petrol to get back from Barcelona .
Not one of my better used bike buying decisions...

Cheaper, lighter, can be restricted for lower license classes, lower seat height, cheaper to run/insure, less intimidating power level, etc...
It's for girls/learners/short people.
All the above,plus it's for old farts who have fading memories of the old aircooled Zed's back in the day,& want something for running around on that won't break the bank..
I wonder if the hipster's will do anything with it?

Fair enough, but they make some nice <400's now, I would have thought they'd tick all those boxes better.
Still, it's nice the see the factories making mid-range bikes like this, I'm obviously way out of touch because I wouldn't have seen much of a market, but clearly there is.

And maybe a bit less likely to be nicked as soon as you park it at home / work...
