The all new 2024 Kawasaki Ninja 500, Z500 and eliminator motorcycles are here! These motorcycles are equipped with Kawasaki’s new twin cylinder engine revving to 14,000rpms! They have the new aggressive styling found on the 636, come equipped with LED headlight and taillight, smartphone connectivity and more! If that wasn’t awesome enough, the SE models come equipped with that and more! Boasting a TFT display, frame sliders, keyless ignition switch, usb-c charger, tank and knee pads, larger windscreen, passenger seat cover and LED turn signals! This is a cheap motorcycle to get you on the road having fun in no time!

Is it your first bike?

[@Ninja500KRTDee]

Me too!

[@MATTTHEGREETER]

Sounds like a great bike man! You're one of the most trustworthy reviewers of bikes out there & I really like that you keep it positive! Keep up the good work brother

[@fastjax]

Thanks Brother! I've always appreciated your feedback and support 🤘I've been hesitant to upload a lot of the metric reviews I've done.

[@gomilopez1]

I love the review! Amazing on-hands, honest and straight forward video! Thank you for it! Looking forward to getting mine!

Thanks brother! I really appreciate it! I think you'll dig the bike. it's fantastic

Just bought the SE KRT as my first bike. im only 5'4" and we dropped it to the lowest setting for me. But its a very forgiving bike and my friends all had fun with it. too bad its about to rain for the next 5 days... lol.

@@Omar-ly3hy I have the Black 500

[@jayy24195]

I really want this as my first bike. But the red/black version

[@fastjax]

Yes! The red and black Ninja 500 SE is stunning. This would make an excellent first bike

[@Omar-ly3hy]

​@@fastjaxPeople keep saying buy used but used, but this ninja looks spectacular. What's your thoughts on new vs used?

[@TheUnluckyDuck]

When the bike is running why does it make that very distinct noise that sounds, like a rattle?

[@fastjax]

It's most likely the way my mic picked up audio inside my helmet. Nothing like that stood out to me while riding the bike. I think they sound great

[@banana82728]

i see this as a downgrade from my 2006 Ninja 500. the older one has the same HP, larger 4.8gl gas tank, center stand, and larger more comfortable banana style seat with rear grab handle for passenger.

[@joekavalauskas8767]

What do you mean by 14,000 rpm in the thumbnail? You never addressed that in the video?

[@VigilanteMike]

1:90 seconds in

[@joekavalauskas8767]

@@VigilanteMikewhere are you getting that number? Are you sure you’re not referencing the Ninja ZX4RR? My twin cylinder ninja 250 from ‘08 revs to 13k and with every generation it’s been reduced.

[@fastjax]

The ZX4RR redlines @16k, display shows 18k max and it's an entirely different engine altogether. The Ninja 500 is 451cc 2 cylinder engine. The ZX4RR is 399cc 4 cylinder engine. The Ninja 500 enters redline @11,500RPM, The Thumbnail is simply what the max is on the display. I think coming from the Ninja 250, you'd love the 500. They've come a long way.

[@levelupwithsam]

This bike's limit is 11,300 rpm if I'm not mistaken. Still pretty high revving bike imo.
