Welcome The All-New Kawasaki Ninja 500
"B
uilding on the widespread
acclaim of the Kawasaki's
Ninja family, the Ninja 500 and
Ninja 500 SE enter the dynamic
lightweight sport segment," says
Kawasaki. "Boasting an updated
engine, a chassis that strikes the
perfect balance between agil
-
ity and stability, and an array of
rider-centric features such as a
relaxed riding position, LED head
-
lights, and seamless smartphone
connectivity, the Ninja 500 is truly
built for a range of riders."
Some of the highlights of the
Ninja 500 include what Kawa-
saki says is a "powerful and
rider-friendly" 451cc parallel-twin
engine, more aggressive Ninja
styling with new LED headlight
and taillight, and a new seat
shape for "more relaxed, sporty
riding position."
An ABS version is also avail
-
able.
The special edition SE model
features Kawasaki's Intelligent
Proximity Activation Start System
(KIPASS). KIPASS is a compact
key fob in a pocket and allows
riders to remotely release the
bike's steering lock and main
switch, offering increased conve
-
nience while acting as a deterrent
to theft and vandalism. The SE
also comes with a USB-C outlet,
a large windshield, a radiator
screen, a pillion seat cover, a tank
pad and knee grip pads.
The Ninja 500 models are now
available, and the starting price
is $5299.
