Magazine Articles:
MCN -- March 2006, page 12 -- Kawasaki Ninja 650R
"The Ninja's chassis is one of its most dramatic elements. Designed to shrinkwrap the compact motor, it provides a very narrow overall package that conforms naturally to a rider's body. With tubular steel elements forming a box around the top and sides of the cylinder heads, it has another novel feature: Making the rear shock into a fully exposed design element, mounted flush with the bodywork on the right side." -- Dave Searle, Editor-in-Chief
Motorcyclist -- March 2006, page 52 -- Kawasaki Ninja 650R
"Arcing off into its natural twisty road habitat, the Ninja feels smaller and at least 20 pounds lighter than its 441 pounds (wet) would suggest. At the sort of casually sporting pace that leaves time to classify wildflowers and wave at police, the Ninjette is virtually flawless. Power flows in a broad, steady stream from 4000 rpm to 9000 rpm, where all 64.8 horsepower arrive." -- Tim Carrithers
Rider -- April 2006, page 43 -- Grown-Up Beginner
"Team Green's intended market for this machine is new riders and those who are shopping for their first new bike, re-entry riders coming back to the sport, and multibike owners looking for a reasonably priced second or third motorcycle for their spouse or visiting friends to ride." -- Ken Freund, Senior Editor
