A discussion of what's the same, what's new, and what I think about Kawasaki's newest entry to the low displacement sport bike category, the lovely Ninja 500.

Gotta say I like the new styling updates. Also my Bonnie has no hazards so I welcome the switch. Don't know if Kawi should've highlighted it tho!😅

I'm rooting for a retro 80s style Ninja 500

The styling of the 500 is what sells it for me. I can tell it’s got inspiration from the zx6r, and has a much more refined look than the 400. Always found the ninja 400 front fascia to be not aggressive enough. The green accents on the 500 also make it look like a baby H2. I’ll take it😂

They need to just call it 451!

It's a direct reaction to the cf moto 450ss that makes 50hp and 30tq. Kw400 made 47hp 27 tq. Cf moto came standard with abs, TFT display with bluetooth and nav, bremo front brake, led lights, frame sliders, adjustable levers, and can be switched to GPS shift with 1 bolt and vehicle recovery system or T-box tracked from your phone for 5,399 in 2023 and 5,699 for 2024.

Fair points, wonder how worried Kawi is of CF Moto. Most folks around here look down their noses at the CF bikes. I'd give the 450ss a go if it weren't for the canards on the front.

@korazon3spinado 4 ай бұрын

I would get the base model with no abs because im cheap i guess. Does it have helmet holders?

@tsdmoto 4 ай бұрын

I'm cheap too so I feel ya

Yeah it has one helmet holder (I just got mine)

I wish there were videos of people riding it. I want to know weather to get the 400 or the 500. I honestly want whatever is faster. But idk if it’s worth the very little difference. I’ve ridden the 400 before several times and I love that thing.

@tsdmoto 4 ай бұрын

I agree, and as soon as I get a chance, I'll give one a go. I don't doubt the 500 will be a small bit faster but if you want significantly faster, it would be best to choose something with more HP such as the Ninja 650.

@richm7471 4 ай бұрын

They will be basically the same speed and weight. The difference is with the 500 there will be more power in the low RPMs so it will be more fun in the twists. The 400 has more power in the higher rpm’s

@christosswc 4 ай бұрын

It has a bigger engine and all the extra ccs went into torque, power remains the same, weight practically the same, so it just perfroms much better in low to mid rpm. It's an easy equation.
