The Ninja 500 is the latest small-displacement Kawasaki sportbike in India.

Its 451cc, twin-cyl motor is derived from the Ninja 400's engine and makes 45.4hp and 42.6 Nm of torque.

The Ninja 500 uses an LCD display with Bluetooth connectivity.

Its frame and cycle parts are largely the same as the Ninja 400.

In India, only the base variant is offered and it comes in any colour you like, as long as its black.

At Rs 5.29 lakh (ex-showroom, India), the Ninja 500 is priced at a steep premium because it comes to India as a CBU.
