    At 6.40, the N400 is pretty pricey. The N650 makes more sense. Its priced at 6.9 to 7.4 depending on the color scheme I guess.

    How good is the benelli leoncino it makes most sense right now as its well priced has good retro looks. i am totally confused!!

      Please do not got for any Benelli bike as there are multiple horror stories about ASS.
      Service is pathetic to say the least. Also build quality is questionable as compared to the Japs.

        Hi pranav,
        I have been using kawasaki z650, it is a good nimble bike if you like naked then it will be a good option. Since there is no fairing means less heating in city or highway giving an average of nearly 23 in city traffic.
        Do check out this option as used one will fall nearly 4 lacs and it is a bullet proof bike. Pricing is near to that of N400 with less aggressive riding position incase you like more of upright position.
        Good luck

          Z650 is a good option, however no fairing would have the biggest challenges on the highway (due to wind-blast) and back to back city traffic as the hot air from the radiator wont be channeled away from your legs by the fairing.

            Yes windblast comes into play if you cruise past 130 on a naked, for which important criteria is what you wish for yourself and your cruIsing speed requirement.
            Although i would like to mention you'll not face heating issues in traffic as much as in any ninja. I have been riding z daily in Delhi summer heat and it is convenient to what i had experienced on a ninja650.N650 has better upper torque and this one is quick on lower ones.

              If I got it correct, Z650 channels the heat better than a N650?

                Haha..

                Hellgate, aapne kaafi underestimate kara hai bhai phir iski heat dissipation ko while in traffic its better than n650, i have used my friends and realised and he agrees. I hope aap bhi try karein [emoji4]

                  Brother, no matter what someone says, they cant beat the laws of physics.
                  With no fairing, there is nothing to channel the heat from the radiator fan away from the rider. The fairings have internal channels which help route the air downwards, towards the road.

                    Positioning of radiator and foot pegs is pretty distant in Z650 and air gets blown/changed easily in b2b traffic.
                    No matter what air flow system you put, when bike with fairing stands in traffic there is no air which flows down/away but the hot air from below would only reach your riding gear.

                      I dont think you will get the point.
                      There is no use comparing a 2013 N650 that you rode and you Z650. The 2017 N650 (with which your Z650 has lots of similarities) have undergone a lot of change as compared to the 2013 N650.
                      Not sure why you wanted to discuss things via PM route and then start the same discussion over again.
                      Anyways, to each his own.
