The latest model of Kawasaki "Ninja 500" is about 900,000 yen! Its light handling awakens the joy of riding

The charm of the "Ninja 500" lies in the light riding feel created by its agile handling. It is equipped with a 451cm3 water-cooled, 4-stroke, parallel-twin engine that has excellent output characteristics throughout the entire rev range, mounted on a lightweight chassis based on the 250cc class. It balances powerful acceleration in the low to mid-range with smooth and refreshing power that extends to high revs. Whether starting from a stop at a traffic light or cornering on winding roads, the sense of unity that allows for intuitive control is mesmerizing. It offers a depth that allows a wide range of riders to enjoy sporty riding without feeling pressured, from everyday commuting to weekend touring.

Similar to the supercharged flagship Ninja H2, this model employs a structure that integrates the swingarm mounting plate with the rear of the engine. This achieves effects equivalent to directly attaching the swingarm to the engine, contributing to excellent riding stability by ensuring high rigidity and reducing weight. The design, inheriting the philosophy of the flagship, should also provide a sense of security as a first large sports bike.

The relaxed riding position, LED headlights, and smartphone connectivity features (compatible with RIDEOLOGY THE APP) ensure practicality for daily riding. The sharp and aggressive styling characteristic of the Ninja family highlights the pride and presence of ownership. With ABS as standard equipment and the "Kawasaki Care Model" that includes free regular inspections and oil changes for three years in addition to a one-month checkup, you can have peace of mind and enjoy a long-lasting relationship even after purchase.
