                  Adequate power + good mileage for a tourer
                  It could possibly be a good bike for the tourers, especially the ones traveling inter-city or interstate. The bike's comfortable riding position and ergonomic control give the biker the pleasure to be on it while mile-munching on the highways and the bike is equally good on the in-city roads as well. Mileage-wise, the bikes return a comparably better fuel average than similarly priced bikes. But one can also consider the Suzuki GSX S750 for just a tiny buck more. It not only has 2 more cylinders to power itself but it also sports 46PS and a 17Nm surplus of power and torque over the Ninja 650. So the Ninja here is an entry-level adventure tourer where as the S750 is a naked street sports bike that can also be used as a sports tourer but still the Ninja650 will return much better fuel mileage than S750 ever can. Make sure u know what u want before finalizing either of them.

                  Most Comfortable Bike
                  This is the most comfortable bike that feels like sitting on the bed, and performance is next level. Its engine pickup is very nice, and it almost takes 5 seconds to touch 100kmph.

                  Kawasaki Vulcan with a heart of Ninja
                  The Kawasaki Vulcan S is a big, heavy cruiser bike that runs like a Ninja with a 659 CC parallel - twin engine delivering 61 HP. It offers smooth handling, modern features, and is well maintained in authorized showrooms. Single handedly driven, it combines power and style perfectly.
