Great Kawasaki Ninja 500 content! I ended up getting a Ninja 500 SE edition even though the Z500 seemed the most comfortable. I plan on doing a bit of highway riding and wanted the fairings for wind protection. I find the whole package very compelling, and the keyless system feels decently premium and pleasant to use.
Very good review gents. Would you say that the the z500 has a more comfortable seating position and ergonomics compared to the Ninja 500? Do you lean forward noticeably more with the Ninja 500? I'm asking because I have a lower back issue.
I'm looking at virtually identical frame sizes between the z400 and the z500 on Kawasaki's website, same seat height, only exception is the wheelbase being 5mm longer. Yet you are talking about the z500 being bigger and higher by 3cm what's happening
