2024 Kawasaki Ninja 500 - DM Review | Test Ride

The entry-level Kawasaki Ninja just gets that much better with a little extra displacement. The Ninja 500 does nearly all types of street riding well.

Just brought the Anniversary 500 Monday as a first bike and I love it. I'm learning fast and it's forgiving.

[@Williamb612]

Great review ...places me right in the rider's cockpit. You sir, are an outstanding rider.

[@donniecupples6721]

Great review

[@KirkKreifels]

Best beginner bike on the market?! Hard to beat is the n500

[@morgantalbert7103]

Another great review. I was just up there in Malibu last weekend on my 2019 NC750X. I wonder if our paths crossed.

[@DailyMotor]

It's possible! Ride on!

[@aaronbyrd5710]

im very close to getting my first bike and have been trying to decide between getting a sportier bike bc of insurance, but the base cost of this bike is very nice. So maybe the extra bit for insurance is worth

[@naturalforlife6741]

Sounds like this would make a great super light weight short touring machine. Maybe a cross country adventure? You know just to see if you can do it.

[@DailyMotor]

Honestly wouldn't be that bad. Very smooth

[@tonymcflattie2450]

I love riding, it's the crashing that scares me

[@DailyMotor]

Agreed, so I choose not to

[@Brancovtn65]

If you wear proper gear, crashing really isn’t that bad physical-wise. Ask me how I know. Also, if you DON’T wear proper gear, crashing on the highway going 96 MPH really fkn sucks. Ask me how I know… Lol. Just wear full gear and you’ll pretty much be well-taken care of if things go sideways. Which is extremely rare in reality tbh.

Doesn't the SE come with a passenger seat included? I'm pretty sure if you bought one, you get both the colored cover and passenger seat.

[@DailyMotor]

Yes, I was mistaken.

Hey Charlie, good vidio, greetings from Argentina🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷! Btw, what car do ya drive?

[@DailyMotor]

Thanks! I have a 1999 Ford F-350 Lariat with the 7.3 Powerstroke

[@skorshooters9352]

What do you mean by you lose the passenger seat? I got the SE and it comes with the seat and a cowl

[@DailyMotor]

Oh good! That makes sense, actually. Thanks for letting us know

[@aluisious]

Kasasaki did not "bore the motor out." They added stroke.

[@DailyMotor]

Ah, thanks!

[@TheShadeManGuitar]

I started on a 650, they don't have that power band you talk about. The zx6r(600) as soon as you hit 8k rpm then I gives that feeling. Crazy it's like a light switch

[@max2min]

Wrong side bro, you should always drive on the left side of road

[@spokx]

Why the left and not the right?

[@DailyMotor]

You should always be in whatever part of the lane makes you most seen and gives you best control of the situation ahead.
