That would be a great test!

Got this as my first bike. Loving it so far!

That's awesome, congrats!

@ST-kq9py Месяц назад

Thanks for the great review, I’ve been riding 25 years and I love the Ninja 400 that this one is based on. I had a ‘24 765RS and ‘22 R1 at the same time and it was a great addition to the garage and was always great fun to ride! Cheers.

@cyclenews Месяц назад

Awesome! Thanks for the support.

This is the evolution of the 2008 Ninja 250 from 300 and 400 to "500." Keeping the bones from 2008+ keeps this bike affordable. Acounting for inflation, it's more affordable than the 2008+ Ninja 250 at the time. I'm the original owner to a 2009 Ninja 250 with 80,000 miles. Ninja 500 will be my next bike. These are awesome commuter bikes.

@mcdonaldslover52 Месяц назад

kawasaki really need to update the zx4r styling too. Its the only thing holding me back at this point

@Dsanrides Месяц назад

Bravo Kawasaki for these amazing entry bikes. Looks like a nice little step up from the 400. Though I’ve heard from new owners that the stock clutch is still way too soft. Did it feel squishy and spongy?

@kushpaladin Месяц назад

i'm curious to see what Yamaha will do with the R3 now that there is a new ninja 500. my R3 hasn't been updated in 6 years

@jimpanzer07 Месяц назад

it would be great if Yamaha made another 400 4 cylinder - R4😎

@denzgtr3123 Месяц назад

Hard to really update fantastic bikes like the R3 probably why Yamaha is taking its sweet time.

@robertocojones4471 Месяц назад

Please review the Z500, too. I can't decide which one I'd prefer. Also, are these new 500s compatible with the accessories of their 400 CC predecessors? For instance, would axel sliders or saddle bags for the Ninja 400 be compatible with the Ninja 500?

@TripedalTroductions Месяц назад

Both of them have neutral seating positions so I'd go with ninja unless you want to keep the engine a little cooler. The Z is tuned to make torque a little lower but it's not a huge difference. They're basically the same bike but one has fairings and the other doesn't. Pick what you think looks best or the ninja if you're doing a lot of highway riding.

@OHYEAH-km3md Месяц назад

ngl, feelin buyers remorse with the SE given it's only a few hundred less than an Aprilia RS457 and that bike hands down has a lot more going for it, doesn't help i chose Kawasaki over Aprilia because of reliability only to have my rear brakes fail after only 200 miles

@CaribbeanMDJourney Месяц назад

Oh man. I’m sorry about this. I just bought my 500 KRT SE a week ago but haven’t rode yet. Can you elaborate on your situation? Are you okay? Did you get it fixed? Did Kawasaki cover it?

@Zankiz Месяц назад

Kawasaki should cover under its standard warranty right?

@jacobhumphrey5879 27 дней назад

How does this stack up to the Ninja 650? I am having a hard time determining if I should get this bike or a 650 for my first bike.

@cyclenews Месяц назад

We'll have to do a comparison but this one is definitely more geared towards first timers.

@Vinay-yz3wd Месяц назад

650 is more for beginner riders that are bigger and need more power. The ninja 500 is just the 400 with a little bit more power

@Vinay-yz3wd Месяц назад

@@MikeColorblind2369 if u have a little experience on bikes then the 650 is good for u. Also why not the r7

@starlord.1493 Месяц назад

The 500 goes 125 mph I would say it’s more than enough for a beginner. It has plenty power for the roads or the freeway

@jimpanzer07 Месяц назад

Great bang for the buck but not a fan of parallel twin sounds so I got the ZX4RR😎

@Zankiz Месяц назад

I agree but went with the 500 instead because I cannot justify that price on the zx4rr

En México la zx4rr su precio es de 15.5k usd ya con impuestos y la zx6r esta en 17k usd,la ninja 500 esta en 8k usd,me gusta mucho la propuesta de la zx4rr dicen que es una motocicleta muy divertida pero el precio te pone a pensar en cuestión de comprar la zx4rr o la zx6r

The plate holder and rear blinker assembly look really stupid just hanging off the back . Looks like an after thought .

@razvan3228 20 дней назад

it's due to road regulations, they have to make it hang over the back wheel, look it up. But i do agree, it looks totally out of place ( luckily there are after-market kits for that)

@joedokes8641 20 дней назад

@@razvan3228 Luckily the first thing I replaced on my 2013 WR250R . Much cleaner look . They should redesign the rear end so that it doesn't need that hideous thing just hanging there . If I was in the market for a sport bike that would make me think twice . Probably UH-NO.

@ericeven4090 Месяц назад

The key pass was a deal killer for me. Whats the point on an entry level bike? You still need a key to get into the gas tank. Even the zx14 se still uses a key and that bike is 3x the cost. There are all sorts of threads on redditt of people bypassing the system with a little gadget and starting the bike without a key.

@ROBSOLUTELY Месяц назад

CFMOTO 450SS offers better technology and overall better looks. Seems like the Ninja 500 was released as a band-aid version to compete against the 450SS. It's not even a 500cc motorcycle, but they want people to think it's bigger. No doubt Kawasaki quality and reliability is on top, but I believe the CFMOTO 450SS still kicks it's butt.

@Marco-zf2uo Месяц назад

How are you liking the 450ss? Really hard decision for me but I’m thinking ima go with the cfmoto.
