When did Scotty Kilmer start reviewing bikes 😂. We can thank Cf moto with their 450ss/sr for making this segment start to advance. When they dropped the 2023 450 with 5" TFT full color changeable display with bluetooth and Nav, Bremo front brake, led lights, adjustable rear suspension, and adjustable levers. Built in frame sliders. Abs comes standard. Anti theft features like steering lock, a built in T-box you can connect to through cf moto app. You can track the bike if stolen, it has a vibration sensor to notify you if someone is messing with your bike, tells you the fuel level, milage, maintenance. 50hp 30tq all for 5,399 in 2023. Love em or hate em they shocked the market, they were released outside of the US in 2021 or 2022.
Yes they are a great value, Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻. Stay in Touch.
got the 40th anniversary SE 500 last week, and I'm a vet retired pro motocross racer, and I LOVE the 400 and especially this thing. WONDERFUL bike
Congratulations my friend! Enjoy your new bike and be careful, Stay in Touch!!
I just bought one as my first bike and all honest I’m loving it
i’m going on saturday to get one as well, i’m hoping i like it
Good to hear, thanks for Commenting my friend 🙏🏻
Excellent , let me know what you think about it! Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻
OTD price?
Bro i love the passion and the happiness you bring on while riding and testing this bike!
Thank you Marco !! I just love Motorcycles and the people who ride them!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻. Let's talk again soon.
Good review as always ray. Super excited for the 500 to finally hit the streets. Think ill put in an order for one soon
Thanks Brandon!!! Let me know what you end up doing!
Great review! I like your style! Keep up the good work! Ride safe
Thanks Todd!
Plano kawasaki is where I got my Versys 300X. Very friendly and helpful crew up there. Thanks for the excellent review on the 500 ninja, and thank you Plano Kawasaki for making it possible.
Thank you ! Thanks for Commenting and participating in the channel 🙏🏻.
I cannot say enough great things about these bikes. This along with the Honda cbr500r are very comfortable. I own the Honda, it was my first bike. I kept it and bought other bikes, much bigger bikes, but this for daily riding and commuting is absolutely perfect. I took it touring very long distances many many times and I don't get neck or shoulder pain even compared to a kawasaki concours 14, which is a sport touring. I am happy they make these bikes so affordable and so capable.
Yep! Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻. Stay in Touch!!
Kongratz bro my like gave u 1000 likez 😎
Oh man, Thanks to you and everyone that watched. Thank you for being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻. Stay in Touch my friend!!
Nice brother! I am definitely gonna recommend this bike to a friend that has a honda 250 looking to upgrade, she'll love it! And that price, dang, what a deal! Thanks for sharing brother! 👊😎🤙
Good talking to you again Brian! She will love it, Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻 Brian!!!
Love how you love it, man. Great review!
Thanks Johnny! Hey Thank you for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻, Please Stay in Touch!!
I’ve owned many bikes throughout the years. 300s, 600s, Harley-Davidson softails. Now I ride a HD Low Rider S. Out of all the bikes I ridden the Ninja 300 was the most fun I’ve had on 2 wheels. I loved the fact that you could use 100% of the bike all the time. I’m thinking about picking this bike up as a fun little second bike.
Thanks for being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻
Thank you for the review! I’m actually in Dallas and I found this exact bike at the Plano dealership haha I definitely am sold on this bike to start off
Let me know if you get one, I'd love to be there! Tell them you seen the video if you can! Stay in Touch!! Thanks for being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻.
love your attitude towards bikes so many 1000cc snobs who look down on every new bike drop
What you have to pay for a large CC bike is Really border line and then the insurance, Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻, you can have a ton of fun on a smaller cc bike without the huge price tag!
It’s like scotty has a bike channel 😀
I was just about to comment this!🤣
@TheWhoopwhoop21 I've heard that before, wish I had his subscribers.
I was SEARCHING for this comment!! Right away- I was like "Scotty does bikes now???"
Thanks for Commenting and Watching 🙏🏻.
@@RayBowdenRides you will definitely get there Ray, you doing great bud!
I bought the SE Ninja 500 last week from Plano Kawasaki, Tom and AJ were awesome. I’m loving it. Going to make an awesome track bike! The ninja 400 slip on mufflers will work on these motorcycles. I just put a Leo Vince Corsa GP EVO on mine fit like a glove. Love the video!
Thanks my friend!! I'll see ya there maybe at coffee and bikes- Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻.
@@RayBowdenRidesdefinitely going to have to make the trip back up there for bikes and coffee!!
Just bought the metallic black one today and agree with everything on this video.
Congratulations Bryan, Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻- Stay in Touch and let me know what you think about the bike! Ride SAFE
I love mine!
@Davidjames313 I bet you Do! For the price nothing beats it!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting David 🙏🏻
Im 50 years old, I haven't been on a bike in over 20 years, and I've never been on a sport bike.
3 years ago I was almost killed in a car accident, I'm extremely fortunate to be alive. I don't want a repeat of that
Roger that! Air on the side of caution!
@@RayBowdenRides I love the look of the sport bike, but I'm not looking to kill myself. I'm also gonna take riding classes
I dunno could you sound a little more Southern? We need several more "Ahh tell hyuu what yalls" in here.

Picked up the red 500 yesterday. I love it
Congratulations Rich!! Stay in Touch my friend, Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻.
Picking mines up tomorrow morning. New ride, I’m excited as hell.
@GhadSpeed oh Cool ! Congratulations and let me know what you think!!
Great video! I pick up my 40th anniversary 500 in a couple days. Kawasaki says on their website that the 500 is now 51 hp and 31.7 tq. Up in both areas from the 400. So should be a nice improvement. Just wish it was called a 451 instead. Keep up the good videos!
Congratulations Andy!! Your going to love that bike!! Let me know what you think after you ride it a few times!
The 40th anniversary model and colorway was my exact ideal bike! Congrats on the purchase. Ride on
@ellestar2306 That's a AWESOME bike!!
Still in break in period so taking it easy but the changes to the seat are great! Especially for the gentlemen riders. I feel more low end power as opposed to the 400 ninja. The TFT display and keyless are nice features. Loving this bike so far so will have more when I get past break in period. I know a full exhaust and tune along with velocity stacks and air filter will be on my list as soon as TST industries has them.
Good review 👍
Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻, Thanks for being apart of the Channel!
I have the ninja 300 and I love it! These bikes are tried tested and true. They have decades of experience in small twin cylinder engines that preform like a dream and that love to be pushed hard.
Yep ,Good info- Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻. Don't be a Stranger!!
@@RayBowdenRides I’ve just subscribed so I won’t!👍
@Dan-qv2tb Thanks🙏🏻
I have the versys 300X. Same reliable engine. That's why I got it. There's so much satisfaction in ringing it's neck and knowing it can take it. Now, if kawasaki would just put this 451 power plant on a spoke wheeled ADV bike like the versys.
@@Lucky_beach_bum wouldn’t that be something if they did. Ride safe!
You're cameras are pretty nice. I think you sold me on the insta cams when I wanted you to sell me on the new ninja haha. I'll get both.
You won't regret any insta camera purchase I promise, especially if you have owned GOPRO'S!
@RayBowdenRides I own a hero 3. I absolutely loved it back in the day but fell out of the action cam game. I've heard they are nothing but nightmare fuel since then.
Watching from the philippines I love your review what can you recommend a ninja 500 or cbr 500 for a new rider of a higher cc bike
Ninja 500, Thanks for Watching and Commenting Montoya🙏🏻.
Nice review bro.👍
Thanks brother, 🙏🏻 Ride SAFE and don't be a Stranger!!
I bought one last week and am loving it, only put 20 miles on it so far though because I’m so busy
Good to hear , Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻, Ride SAFE
Congrats!
Love your vids but can you please make them longer please
Thanks duane!! Thanks for being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻. Stay in Touch!
nice review
Thanks Exotic!!! Thanks for Watching 🙏🏻and being apart of the Channel!!
I used to own a ninja 300 like 6 years ago, and havnt ride anything ever since, I wqs thorn between 500 and the zx6r ( i know, they are very different ) but decided to go for the 500, it has more than enough power for what I need and its way cheapet aswell
Smart guy! The new 500 is so awesome!
Love my kawasakis best motorcycles for the money might have to grab me one these baby's
Super fun bike!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻.
Got myn about a week ago have put about 400 miles on it loving it it’s the Abs version in black
Oh cool, let me know how end up liking it.
@@RayBowdenRides it’s a really good bike just enough power for me love the abs on it fun bike but not gonna lie I’m already itching for more power but it has plenty honestly at least for in town cruising and I mean on the highway it has plenty just would like a tad more hopefully I can find someone to flash the ecu and tune it and shit.
@user-vq9sv9bb8s yep ! You'll find someone, there are going to be a million mods for that bike. I have rarely seen as much enthusiasm as what that bike brings. Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻, Ride SAFE and don't be a Stranger!
@@RayBowdenRides yea man great bike honestly. You got snap or insta? Mine has the twin brother’s exhaust on it was gonna send u a vid
@@RayBowdenRides also really been thinking about starting a yt now that I got this bike.
Nice well edited video my man! In your opinion, Which one is better 500 or 650 ?
It just depends on which bike you like, which one talks to YOU. THERE Both awesome!
I like the 500 myself but that's me.
Their entry level bike is 51hp. Wow we have come a long way since the end of the Ninja 250 and release of the Ninja 300. (11 Years or so now)
Yes sir we have, thank you for Commenting and participating in the channel 🙏🏻
Subbed to support another local rider. Im in allen
Thks my friend!!
debating between this and the 650 for my first bike just cant choose
The 500 is a Blast! Stay in Touch and let me know what you end doing!! Either is Great!!
nice 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻. Stay in Touch!!
Great❤
Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻.
i love not being able to get this bike due to lack of credit history even though i got good credit! Maybe next year
Dang , go to your bank!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻
I'm 5'6" and the one hang up I have with so many bikes as a beginner is the seat height. I know I don't NEED to be able to flatfoot it, but man it would be nice.
You can get a lowering link somewhere for the back shock probley.
i am 5’4 and got this bike as my first bike today! but the good news is you will be perfectly fine because i was so so happy when my feet could COMFORTABLY REACH THE FLOOOOOR!
only thing i'd change is the exhaust for big boom boom
Yep , Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻, Thanks for being apart of the Channel!!
Trying to decide between the ninja 500 and the Z500 for my first bike. Hard choice I love how they both look
Go sit on both and see which one really Speaks to you, Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻, Let me know what you Decide!
I'm also wrestling z500 and ninja 500 for first bike
Try to sit on both bikes then take a picture of it while you're on it and see which looks better
My new ninja 500 came with a broken clutch, :( first thought it was my bad because of a new bike and not used to the new clutch. But it was not, and now it has to go back to the garage. Only had it for 2 days :(
That's weird, that's a new one on me. Let me know what happens.
Great beginner bike, don’t ya think? Had one when I was younger, called something else. Ex500. A training sportbike!
Yea I remember that. Good talking to you again.
It's a slight upgrade to the Ninja 400, but not worth trading in a Ninja 400 for it.
If you have a Ninja 400 like I do, installing the graves velocity stacks will increase your power by 6% all for $130.
That sounds like a good deal to me, Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻.
Muito tri a moto! Infelizmente a Cbr 500 saiu de linha aqui no meu país.
Thanks for Commenting 🙏🏻
I want this besides the ZXRR....which ever is available at my dealership is what I will get I guess. Looking to put down 3k at the most, I can't waaaait !!!
Let me know what you end up getting! Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻.
Zxrr is way better!
tellem OG!
Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻 my friend!! Don't be a Stranger.

Yikes bro, you settled for that red/black base model huh
@@English_MoFo metallic black abs model
@tubuskan4348 oooh YES! Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻, Let's talk again soon!
Do the same mods for the 400 fit on the 500?
That's a really good question, someone will answer this - but I can't, I would think YES on some and No on some others! Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻!
Have you rode the ninja 400? I currently have a 23 KRT 400 but wondering if it worth the swap/upgrade? I do like the 4RR but I can’t justify the cost and also have no need for a 600 super sport
Stay with what you got, you probably have it paid for already, Enjoy what you got- and be thankful!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻.
Look up TST Industry's new Ninja 500 review/ride video. They cover 'Should you upgrade from a 400' quite well.
(Spoiler: don't do it)
That is a good video 📹 👌.
I agree with Ray, keep your 400, my son has the same bike as you & it’s an awesome bike for street riding or track days, perfect amount of power, now if you want to jump up to a supersport, that’s a different story. The 500 is really not much better or faster than the 400.
See, I do like the small upgrades that they did do to the bike But overall, just not sure if it’s really worth it and unfortunately, in my case, yes I do want the zx6r but sadly, the cost of insurance is just too much for me right now hence why I’m sticking with the smaller displacement for the time being. Eventually, I do plan to keep the smaller bike overall and convert it to track only
do you think this bike would be comfortable for rider that is 6'1?
I don't see a problem, Thanks for Watching and Commenting alien!! Go sit on one at a dealership! Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻.
I’m 6’1” and ride one comfortably for a few hours at a time.
I'm 8'111" and the seat stator conduction is great when you're running the parametric fan 😢
Well 👍 okay! Thanks for being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻.
Do you think this bike is beginner friendly? Ive always been interested in learning to ride, mainly for just short distances since drivers in my area are kinda idiots thatd fail their drivers test if they had to take it again.
Very Beginner friendly-- YES!! THANKS for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻.
@@RayBowdenRides awesome, ty for the reply!
my goal is to get one this year
Let me know- stay in Touch my friend, Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻.

I was thinking to get 400 as my first bike. Do you recommend I get the 500 instead? Or wait on rebates for 400 (only if discount is 1k+ I'll consider) what do you think?
If it were me I'd get the 500, I would be Highley surprised if you see a 1000 plus discount- but maybe. Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻. Stay in Touch and let me know what you end up doing.
I’m getting a 500 for my first bike . Everyone keeps saying just get a 650 cause I’ll get bored quick , but I’m not tryna be on demon time . I highly doubt I’ll get bored of the 500 any time soon
@MrGuyOnTheFly you'll love it, Thanks for Commenting and being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻.
Buy a used Ninja 300 for a few grand. Ride the hell out of it for a season or two. Sell it for almost as much as you bought it for. Then go get you a new Ninja ZX-6R. Ride that for a few years. Realize that going long distances on it sucks. Trade it in for a Harley Low Rider S. This is the way.
@@Kingepticon tbh id rather die by semi before I get a Harley
Im torn between this bike and the 650 KRT…as a beginner would you recommend the 500 over the 650?
The 650 is a great bike too - tough call ,let me know what you finally do! Thanks for being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻.
Since the 500 is basically a 400 with an updated instrument cluster and slightly bigger engine so they could meet emissions without killing the performance, I'd go with the 500. The 500 is going to be a little sportier feeling (650 you'll sit more upright) and cheaper.
@gpd456 yep, Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻.
@exiawildfire7708 I was in the same boat over the weekend. Found a dealer to let me test ride both 500 and 650. The 650 has much more torque but for street use I found found it to be unnecessary felt jumpy compared to 500. 500 is still fast. Much smoother than 650 and more comfortable. The price is also about 2500 cheaper. I'd say go with 500 unless you're a bigger guy. 500 has plenty power and is a lot of fun. Also, 650 felt much heavier at slower speeds
@Rich-dd5tq yep!
I’m in between this and a CBR500R. any suggestions?
Go sit on both and compare prices! I think you'll end up on a Kawasaki!!
A chiropractor , it's gonna kill your back .
i did my homework cbr much better deal
Explain?
At least wear protective gear so newer riders think smart not stupid I appreciate the video I’m thinking of buying this
👍 thanks for Commenting 🙏🏻
He ain’t new rider son
Thanks for Commenting 🙏🏻. I'm just me , probably wrong in my thinking- but I am who I am!
How does this 500 compare to the ninja 2024 650?
I think it sits a little lower, a little less horse power , but overall really well - price is better to. Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻, Let me know what you end up doing!
@RayBowdenRides I ended up going with 500. I found the bike to be smoother, more comfortable and better value than 650 for me. Awesome bike for 6k. But the 650 is noticeably faster than the 500. But I don't think it's necessary for daily street riding
Where can I get those gloves?
Look on the internet for Troy lee designs, you'll have to search through there gloves to find them , Good talking to you larry!

No comparison my friend.
The beauty of the ZX-4RR is you can rev it out on the street, without losing your license, which you definitely can't do on the ZX-6R or 10-R.
I'm really looking forward to getting me a 40th anniversary ZX-4RR.

Thanks for Commenting!
Get around that lawn mower trailer. The videos r great but safety first. Ive seen many encounters with debri trash and tools falling off work entities.
Oh that's so true 👍, your right, Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻.
Compare it with Aprilia rs 457
From what I seen at the Aprilia 457 release Aprilia did at Plano Kawasaki, the Aprilia has a Bosch imu , Kawasaki doesn't, The Aprilia has a quick shifter- it's already on the bike but it's going to cost I believe 400 dollars to electronically unlock it, the Aprilia is a little more track focused, but the Kawasaki is able to ad all the extras to it except the imu , it's a tough call , there getting upwards of 57-59 hp with a flash on the Kawasaki 500, that's huge !
would it make sense for me (30M) to start riding on the ninja 500 and then move up to the zx4rr?
Naw, after a while on the 500, you should go for the zx6r. It's only a little more expensive tbh
zx4rr isn't really a move up in terms of acceleration untill you are going illegal speeds. If you want a slightly more comfortable bike and plan to go legal-ish speeds I would save a few bucks and get a Ninja 400 or Ninja 500.
Yep
That's what I think too.
Probably ZX-6 NEXT , but do what ever makes you comfortable! Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻 Felipe.
It's N4 change the Label :)

The US claims 51Hp @ 10,000RPM is this true? everybody keeps saying 44 Hp but is that for Other countries? if the US version is 51 Hp im sold
That's what I found, Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻
Im pretty sure the number is higher because they show crank horsepower for the US model and wheel horsepower in other countries. I dont actually think it has more power in US vs other countries, i wish though
@@1TheFunnyPro1 Really? Damn I was hoping for 51Hp but with a few upgrades I think I can get it there 💯 it was between this Ninja 500 or the Hondacbr500r I like the 40th anniversary color way on the ninja 🔥

I dont wanna sound like a karen here but just for the sake of safety i think youtubers who review bikes should wear full gear just to be an example for the new squids out there. It might seem small and unnecessary but as someone who has a 10 million reach per month on instagram i notice i have made mistakes which my followers have thought was okay and accidentally gave them a bad habit wothout even realizing it. Im not a motorcycle creator but just a lesson i learned and felt like it could just set a good example for the new rider. I mean this in the most respectful way! One day when you blow up you wanna make sure us squids got a good role model :)

@@deadcell1 for the base model ?
@@riddhimanbanerjee5872 that's the model that goes for $5,400.
Got the red one otd for me was around 8
The problem with the Ninja 500, is the Ninja ZX-4RR, which sounds infinitely better with its high revving 16,000 rpm, inline 4 engine.
Sounds like the old V12 F1 cars, music to my ears.
I'm planning on getting the 40th anniversary ZX-4RR next month, which will definitely hold its value.
Not sure if the Ninja 500 will hold its value, probably not, since parallel twins are a dime a dozen these days.
Thanks for Commenting and Watching the video my friend!
Buddy you better put a deposit on that “2024 zx4rr 40th anniversary” because I’ve had my deposit for 3 months and there’s zero in the state of Florida
@Anthony_RIZZelneck that's True!
@@English_MoFo
I went to one dealership that had one in stock, I sat on it to see if I could flat foot, it was sold and the salesman said he's getting another one next month.
I've spoken to 3 dealerships and found one that is selling for $1,016 off what the others are selling it for.
Supply is not a problem in my area.
@@dougmaverick3287 right.. started the same way for me as well. Suddenly they “just can’t get one that isn’t spoken for in the 40th”
Top speed?
I'm going to say 120-135 at best! Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻 my friend!!
My 400 I top out at 118 (I'm 230lbs though). Mine is flashed and tuned as well, and it has as much hp and tq as this 451 stock. So don't plan on anything over 120
Ninja 500 top speed
Don't know, Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻

Thanks for Commenting and participating in the channel 🙏🏻, Stay in Touch!
There is no way that does a wheelie just through power alone not a chance 😂
Maybe because I'm a heavy guy at 225. But it sure was coming up a little!
if you check "sagar sheldekar ninja 500" u will see it is possible ;)
Too scrunched up for me.
Oh ok, Thanks for Commenting and participating in the channel 🙏🏻 Lee.
@@RayBowdenRides Maybe i'm old , but like a bike with lots of room , I have a crf250l rally and a Susuki LS650 cruiser for now.
Totally understand- me too!
That's some really bad rounding Kawi is doing. 450cc does not come close to 500cc.
Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻 Indy!
451 😅.
Thanks for Commenting 🙏🏻.
Parallel Twins shouldn’t exist… sound is almost criminal 😖
Oh now, Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻.
I love the sound lol
@MiguelBorgesphotography Thanks for being apart of the Channel!
That bike might not fit me at 6'2
You might be right. Go sit on them. Let me know.
@RayBowdenRides The Ninja 650 fits me pretty good, I went and checked 1 out today
@@DougSalyers did you sit on anything that you would say is too small?
@jvfresh3053 thanks for Participating in the channel 🙏🏻.
@RayBowdenRides his selection was pretty limited, he's a small town dealer. The only 500 he had was already sold
Ninja 500 top speed
Ninja 500 top speed
I don't know, I didn't top it out, I would say 115 - 135 Something like that!
It’s probably the same as the ninja 400 so around 115mph
It’s just shy of 200km/h due to the extra weight and more rolling resistant tire
@SludgedB thanks for being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻.
Ninja 400 vs ninja 500 drag ras
Long drive top speed
its not that exciting, calm down Boet.
Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻 my friend.
I love the enthusiasm! Keep it up…
@florme6494 Thanks, I got screws loose!! Thanks for being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻.
I skipped the vid because of the accent
Roger that.
Bruh that’s so uncool
I watched it for the accent
What do u like more the cbr 500r or this ninja 500?
Ninja no doubt, but both are really good!
@RayBowdenRides I have the 2022 cbr500 in the gun metal Grey or whatever and love it. But I absolutely love the color or that ninja and it's cheaper. I paid $7,299 for mine
