Handlebar Complaint

Question: How "common" is the handlebar style really? It can't possibly be as common as the fairing buzz problem, can it? Also, what is the source for all these complaints? Personal experience and anecdotal evidence? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianporter (talk • contribs) 07:22, June 15, 2006 (UTC)

Photograph

Anybody want to change that picture to something more professional? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Brianporter (talk • contribs) 01:47, August 21, 2007 (UTC).

Yes, this picture is outdated. I'll be taking a good shot of the new model this week and putting that in place of the current one, if it's OK DeABREU (talk) 15:27, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Corroding Gas Caps Complaint

I removed the complaint about corroding gas caps because it is clearly not a common complaint; in fact, it was hard to find anyone who experienced it. Also: The wording was vague and imprecise, and there was no evidence (citation) to support the claim. Brianporter (talk) 02:48, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Top Speed

In my recent update of the page to use tables, I removed the information about top speed. My rationale is that there are no documents I can find which confirm that there is any sort of electronic limiter on the top speed. From personal experience, I also find the assertion questionable, at best. Until somebody can find a citation for such a fact, this speculation should be left out.

Rev limiter

Hi Scott,

I agree with your decision to remove the top speed.

Though the RPMs are limited (I've experienced this myself on my own bike in a low gear), the top speed still remains theoretical, since in 6th gear, even with the throttle wide open, the bike cannot reach maximum RPMs--there's just not enough power to get the bike wound up that fast.

New Ninja 650

This bike Ninja 650 is this https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Ninja_650 https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Ninja_650 and successor of the "Kawasaki ER-6f". See the notable source on that pages. If there aren't opposition, like the Kawasaki Ninja 400 and some other wiki, i will remove redirect to translate and create the new article page for this different bike. 5.90.239.203 (talk) 15:30, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Model is not discontinued

The article states that production ended in 2018. That may be true in some markets, but as of 2024 the Ninja 650 is still sold by Kawasaki in Canada at least. https://www.kawasaki.ca/en-ca/motorcycle/ninja/sport/ninja-650/2024-ninja-650 Alehanro999 (talk) 00:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
