CBR it's better motorbike, anyway, Kawasaki Ninja is a good motorbike too.

@@VictorMartinez_ However for a sub-600cc Honda & Kawasaki, especially the non supersport category, Honda tends to have more frequent maintenance compared to the Ninja.

@@nelocinco3836 Change oil to 12.000 km, not more frequency

ninja 400 vs ninja 500 is already made

@@michaeldavid1566 Yes, I was able to check it out in the link at the end, thanks.

which one did you buy

what was your top speed?

@@sid38743 110

I've always been a fan of Kawasaki but the shortcomings really were disappointing. Honda is the best the choice here.

Why? because it is heavier?

It has lower power to weight ratio though, while the CBR has higher engine power due to it being 471cc compared to the Ninja's 451 it gets defeated by the Ninja overall on the power to weight ratio. Ninja is only 173kg and the CBR is 191kg which weighs like R1

That weight is 41lbs. That significant to me plus shorter wheelbase i like. It's a toss up. Would come to color and availability to me. I could do either

More CC's does not equate to more power. The Kawasaki engine is better than the CBR's in terms of raw performance. The Ninja 500 is better for the performance rider, CBR 500R better for the older rider who wants fuel economy and does touring.@@johnmichaelparedes7987

Mainly when ridden back to back with hard cornering. Technically the USD forks are more stable in every way but as a novice it's no big deal. Go with what excites you and fits your budget.

CBR500R is for the everyday conscious commuter who want sporty look, low maintenance, dependable but still a bit of speed and power (which you can always uograde) ninja is sportier, faster , more uncomfortable in long rides, lightweight and more affordable bike I'd go with CBR500R Even tho it's pricier i plan on keeping it for more than 5 years and am not trying to go that fast 😂 but anyone who chooses the ninja you the real ones Hats off to you guys man👍🏼

@@johno1992a Fs, tysm!!

Some of the weight difference is due to the fact that the cbr has more sportier sized tires

It has a better engine than the ninja 500, also they included the dry weight for the ninja but the wet weight for the cbr, not to mention the cbr has bigger tyres and carries a heavier fuel load due to a larger tank

@@joseph9556 Which makes it slower off the line

@@jakehardy7270 both was dry weight, CBR weigh more on wet weight

And better tires and look

@@redsview Uglier than the previous model though, Ninja always have a good design in any model except 150cc, that's including all 4 Japanese bikes below 250cc

@@redsview Looks? No way, the CBR always looks like a bug to me and only comes in red for the most part. The Ninja is definitely the better looking one, no contest.

Quality are similar, what affects the quality & its longevity is the riding style

Where are you getting the ninja’s figures from?

You will soon lol. You pay huge service costs. Twice per year at least is required in order to have warranty.

@@ElCoco1984 oh yeah? Really pay your ass, cfmoto interns of durability time will tell, your ninja ang cbr are over pricing ang fokking heavy haay

It's a cheap china bike 🗑️

@@ElCoco1984 said Joe Mama? 🤣

​@@ElCoco19842x a year is fairly reasonable schedule, any bike would have breakdown period for maintenance before achieving its true performance

The interpretation will favour the Triple RS

But parts availability poor resell value, and unknown reliability, at least not as known as for Honda.

bro, who wants to spend so much money on a starter bike? just buy a CBR 650 with no e-clutch at this point.

8750 for CBR500R & 10,000 for Ninja 500

They are tho. If your a kid with no bills you can afford these

They’re half the price of proper bikes, $200 a month is pretty budget.

Not true.

Aprilia is junk

You got a slip on?

@@melvin3864 yes sir got a Leo Vince Corsa exhaust made some videos of it on my other channel if you wanna check it out @tismarkman

what was your all time top speed?

@@sid38743 on the ninja it caps at 124 I’ve gotten my fzr600 up to 150 after resetting it buts it’s misfiring a bunch so I bet I can get like 160 out of her one day but I’m more of a track guy don’t really have the itch to go 200mph

True, because it can revs higher & smoother, rev limits at 10,000 rpm compared to Honda at 8750 rpm. Ninja have higher top speed too at 190km/h compared to CBR at 184km/h

Better stability on highways and the bigger tires

It's a bigger bike mate, and it's more stable at speed as well, especially with high winds.

bigger tire, and 3liters more fuel. and THE BRAKE have 4 piston, that's make it heavy.

More materials on the parts, however doesn't mean a better quality, all sub 600ccs are not Japanese made, quality & materials are mostly the same although some parts represent better brands

Probably they're planning for 3 cylinders R3 with 330cc & R5 with 548cc, those would be great sporty engines

Nope, both are not originally made in Japan, so quality and materials are mostly the same, a more branded parts does not means they have the quality as the Jap's made, quality & longevity is affected more by riding style. So, every sub 600cc bikes non-Japanese made, cheaper is better

In the USA, the new N500 comes with 51hp from factory, making it way better to buy, also shifting with a Kawa is always smoother

They r forced to due to regulations

The stuff of legends.

119 mph

Ninja toped at 190kmh, CBR at 184kmh

Who the hell cares about top end for such bikes? 😂

top end to hell

@@ElCoco1984 highway riders🔥 and top end of a bike a serious thing for many sport bike riders... Lol

People who aren't red light racers such as yourself.@@ElCoco1984

@@joshgts9675 bro the ninja 500 and 400 are both made for country riding, the ninja 500 has just more tork so it can accelerate way more faster than the ninja 400, it doesn't mean the ninja 500 can't go at high rpm

Not to mention the “bread box” catalyst converter weighs like 20lbs on these bikes. A full race exhaust is always my first mod.

Not on the highway it will be not, especially on a windy day. There, a heavier bike will always be better.

@@christosswc Heavier but slower does not means anything. It only works with bikes with 600cc & above, extra weight must come with extra power is the key

@@nelocinco3836 No it must not come with anything, there's no specific amount of performance as a requiement. The R3 is much lighter but has a much smaller engine and therefore less performance than both, both in acceleration and especially in low/mid rpm pulls. Still agreat bike, for many better than both. Honda went for a bigger bike so naturally heavier, that has it's pros and cons. A bike is not measured in just acceleration numbers. Also the CBR has more torque so in real world performance it performs just fine thanks to torque and also is less less affected by a heavy rider than a smaller lighter bike.

@@christosswc The Honda toped at 184 & Kawi at 190, the 400cc kawi with lighter body & smaller cc than both still smoked them both although with lower torque, but its shorter stroke helps its engine to rev higher... If the 3 bikes have riders of similar weight, bet Kawi 400 will win, Kawi 500 definitely be fhe second... Plus the Honda's torque is barely higher than Kawi 500, means that it won't be enough to compensate for its heavy weight

Honda with inverted fork without adjustability means fuck it all. Better get the cheaper one, quality are both the same, only affected by riding style

Maybe you should be looking at bicycles

The Ninja has less than 40hp and it has waaaay less torque.

This is for communism specced bikes. North American bikes will have different numbers.

@@ElCoco1984 ofc no replacement for displacement but what I'm saying here that there is no improvement

@@POPCATCHUBSEAL You obviously don't understand engine numbers than. Ninja 300 is 39 HP at 11K RPM with 17.5 Ft lbs of torque at 10K vs Ninja 500 with 45 HP at 9K RPM and 34 ft lbs of torque at 6K. That means your power comes on WAY stronger at WAY less RPM meaning much better acceleration. Yes you will have similar top speeds but the new 500 will get there so much faster.

Ninja 500 performs better
