Does the Kawasaki KZ650 B1 fit you?
The Kawasaki KZ650 B1 (1977–1977) has a 810 mm seat height. As a rule of thumb, riders with an inseam around 81 cm — roughly 172 cm (5'8") tall — can plant both feet flat at a stop. Around 75 cm inseam you'll be on the balls of your feet, and shorter riders will tiptoe. Enter your own height and inseam in the simulator above to see exactly how you reach the ground on the Kawasaki KZ650 B1.
Riding position
As a standard motorcycle, the Kawasaki KZ650 B1 puts you in an upright, neutral riding position. The simulator scores the exact knee, hip, and elbow angles for your body so you can see how relaxed or aggressive the reach to the bars and pegs will feel.
What is the Kawasaki KZ650 B1 best for?
The Kawasaki KZ650 B1 is best suited to comfortable, do-it-all road riding with a neutral, upright posture.
Fit figures are rules of thumb (flat-foot inseam ≈ seat height); the simulator gives your exact reach and joint angles. Braking is an estimate from wet weight and wheelbase on a dry road.
