This is my 1500mile review I love the ninja 500 and thinks it’s a great bike hope y’all enjoy this video if y’all got any questions leave a comment below Everything in this video is ai generated
got mine two weeks ago after never riding a motorcycle and only having my motorcycle license for a month and it took me about a day or two to figure out the mechanics of it all. i feel like a badass commuting to work every morning now.
That’s awesome man, glad to hear it’s easy for a true beginner I’ve seen a lot of people have trouble beginning riding and ya it do make you feel badass af, which model you get?
@@nickcastillo738 the trims vary but me and you have the same bike except I got mine in the gloss black. There are multiple trim levels for the bike such as, base non abs and abs, SE non abs and abs, KRT and 30th Anniversary being the highest trim.
While i know almost never do the CC's match the model name - i just can't for the life of me figure out why they would market this as a 500. It is a 451cc bike- 52ccs off from a Ninja 400 (which was just fine for its class). Such an odd decision from Kawasaki from the naming to even the conception of this bike.
Pretty sure they had to make the displacement bigger to fit certain market standards like emission type standards not to sure tho and I believe they didn’t wanna call it a 450 cause of the cf moto and also it’s pays tribute to the old generations of ninja 500
Hell ya brother just got mine to 2700miles… I’ve never been a big fan of frame sliders had a buddy that dropped his bike with them on and the sliders got caught flipping the bike tearing the frame apart make sure to buy quality ones for sure 👍
how do you find the riding position? I plan to use it mostly for driving around town, not track at all - doubt i will be doing any twisties though may end up having to do so :) I have been looking at the 500 SE because , well - looks like something fun - do you find the little windshield helps buffer the air a bit?
Awesome question should’ve went more into detail on that it’s very ergonomic I’m about 6’0 and I could really cruise around all day on this thing very comfortable but also sport enough that it doesn’t put you in a tucked position but allows for it very easily and comfortably

Literally same bro, did you get the SE or the base model?
@@kalebmeyer2512 I believe I got the base model with ABS in the matte silver color. I am not sure of what other trim levels they offer for the bike.

Thanks for the review, I'm currently looking at these bikes. Passed my safety course in Sept. Fingers crossed.
Hell ya brother gotta say it’s amazing bike I’ve got about 2500miles on it now and it only gets more enjoyable every ride… thanks for watching 🙏
I just got mine 3 weeks ago
Loving it so far
Was wondering if the 400 slip ons exhaust work with the 500.
Love the vid.
Yessir I have a Leo Vince Corsa slip-on listed for the 400 on mine
I have a 500SE KRT with abs, also for about 2 months It is a great bike ! (Jan, Netherlands)
They really are great bikes

Bro you’re flying on that thing 😂
Got mine a month ago, got 25 Miles on it. But I'm just beginning. I'm installing frame sliders on it

I have a krt se and the ergos are perfect for me at 6’2”
does it have the USB-C charging port? would love that on my R3...
The SE model does but mine and all other models do not
Be careful the way you're flying down the streets, any patch of gravel will easily send you sliding.
I’ve had the bike since march as well. Only thing I have to say is the bike is faster than 117
Really? How fast have you gotten it?
@@Slipmotos I am lucky enough to have some nice straight backroads and I’ve actually almost hit 125
@@secondarygrind56 nice brother… cool to hear, I ain’t got many great straights around to try… but good to know, thanks for commenting g 🙏
@@Slipmotos anytime you left a great review in my opinion as well.
