Revzilla has published a 38-minute riding review of the 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 7 Hybrid. I bet you won't see very many of these bikes on the road. ::)

Through the entire road test, it was like the narrator was struggling to find good things to find about the bike, or even neutral things.
The weight is just stupid. For an extra what 65 lbs you can get an extra 100 horsepower with an Energica, so why would you want liter plus weights and handling on a mid sized bike? The motor is more like a fancy starter and an assist, not really a stand alone thing I am getting the idea. Just more stuff to break, need maintenance, add un necessary weight and complicate things, not to mention push the price up.
The part where he said he tipped over and had to restart it? Did I miss something? at what angle does this thing go into tip over mode, that was barely a lean there unless he actually dropped it and they edited it out.
About the only good thing I see is the auto shift and handlebar clutch thing, otherwise, meh....

Near the end of the review I fell asleep watching it. Seeing the same sort of review of the Honda 125cc DAX that was published last week was more interesting.

The video is only 7 days old. Does he say why the bikes are pulled for recall? At the same time, they offer a $1500 incentive till the end of the month.
I have already watched multiple similar videos and some of his other ones. The comments are pretty positive.
Like I posted in another thread. I saw two of them side by side. One is the one all the videos and the kawasaki website feature the other one had different handlebars don't recall what else but the salesman called each one something different.
I agree with the commenter that says they should have done it in the Verses model.
