2024 Kawasaki Ninja 500 - DM Review | Test Ride 

Just brought the Anniversary 500 Monday as a first bike and I love it. I'm learning fast and it's forgiving.

Over here in Europe we have the A, A2 and A1 licenses , A1 is 11kw power max , A has no restrictions and A2 has a restriction on 35 kw of power ,the A2 license has no restrictions in torque so i can get a harley that has 47 hp and a shit ton of torque , personally i recommend people do this , here in Europe you can buy the mt 07 and cbr650r and other bikes of that range , with a A2 restrictor where it doesnt let the bike make over 35kw of power , and after the first oil change ask them to unrestrict your bike , and they will, and in the registration it will say its still restricted , so you dont need to get the A license

Getting my 500 Anniversary ABS in November, so hyped!

Great review ...places me right in the rider's cockpit. You sir, are an outstanding rider.

Such a beautiful video, thanks for posting. this kind of riding would be my goal. Beginner rider here, will be picking up my new Kawa 500 SE/ABS and riding home in a couple of days: nervous but excited;

Best beginner bike on the market?! Hard to beat is the n500

I love riding, it's the crashing that scares me

Another great review. I was just up there in Malibu last weekend on my 2019 NC750X. I wonder if our paths crossed.

Sounds like this would make a great super light weight short touring machine. Maybe a cross country adventure? You know just to see if you can do it.

Which airbag are you using? I Tried buying airbag jacket but local Honda Kawasaki Husqvarna dealer doesn't sell them. I'll find them somewhere but still unsure on type

Great review

im very close to getting my first bike and have been trying to decide between getting a sportier bike bc of insurance, but the base cost of this bike is very nice. So maybe the extra bit for insurance is worth

You don't LOSE the back seat with the SE. It just has a cowl that you can remove.

What do you mean by you lose the passenger seat? I got the SE and it comes with the seat and a cowl

Doesn't the SE come with a passenger seat included? I'm pretty sure if you bought one, you get both the colored cover and passenger seat.

I started on a 650, they don't have that power band you talk about. The zx6r(600) as soon as you hit 8k rpm then I gives that feeling. Crazy it's like a light switch

Hey Charlie, good vidio, greetings from Argentina🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷! Btw, what car do ya drive?

Kasasaki did not "bore the motor out." They added stroke.

Wrong side bro, you should always drive on the left side of road

The zx4r has raised clip ons......it has the EXACT same seating position as the ninja 500
