The Aprilia gets my vote. It looks like it’s going fast just standing there.

[@RayBowdenRides]

[@JacKVS650-bw5um]

[@Lowend_Chug]

[@Lowend_Chug]

@ Love it!! Have fun dude! This time of year, I’m honing my digging skills!😂😂❄️☃️🌨️

[@RayBowdenRides]

@Lowend_Chug Snowy huh! Here in Texas we don't get very much of that if any. Be safe Chug!!!!

[@Lowend_Chug]

@ Yes Sir! This year has been less than typical, but not motorcycle weather - ice is the danger. I’d rather be in Texas with you riding bikes my friend!!😁😂

[@RayBowdenRides]

@Lowend_Chug someday my friend!!

[@adamkinglive85]

thank you for the videos and explanation on everything. I'm a new rider, and really getting into it and about to get my first bike.

[@davidgearardo1788]

Unfortunately I can no longer trust the Aprilia brand, I love their bikes, but every aprilia in our riding group has had issues. Hopefully you’ll get a good one, but me personally as much as I enjoy them I won’t spend my money on one. Reliability is a must for me. 👍🏻 beautiful bikes.

[@RayBowdenRides]

Thanks for Watching and Commenting David 🙏🏻. Have a great weekend my friend!!!!

[@gpd456]

Ray you're not lying about them moving those GSX8R's! Last I checked, I think they're had like one or two left in stock.

[@RayBowdenRides]

They move the product thru there!! Good talking to you again 🙌.Have a great weekend!!!

[@ChristopherNinja500SE]

1a and 1b. Both are great. Aprilia's reliability from what I've read online might concern me. A local dealership would probably alleviate that concern for me. You get more features, it looks a little better, and it's a little bit sportier. I bought a 2024 500SE, just like in the video. This is my 5th Kawasaki. I'm loving it. I bought the accessory seat which is about an inch taller for a little more leg room. My 54 year old knees approve of the taller seat. 😂

[@jamesmegill]

Buy the Kawasaki. Be happy.

[@RayBowdenRides]

Don't worry be happy!!! Thanks James for Commenting and being apart of the Channel my friend 🙏🏻.

[@tfuryrottie9060]

ugly bike dont make me happy😜

[@MikeS42069]

Do you have maintenance money to have someone work on your bike often? Definitely get the Aprilia. If you aren't made of money or plan on doing your own maintenance get some kind of Japanese bike for your first. They are so simple and easy to work on and feel like you have to TRY to kill them to do any damage

[@RayBowdenRides]

Mike i get the part about trying to kill a Japanese bike- So true!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻. Have a AWESOME weekend!!!

[@jeanmilaalvarez]

Magnifique moto 🏍 🏍

[@Nick-fq2pu]

Are those Better than Suzuki SV 650 as First bike ?

[@RayBowdenRides]

Man nick - different kind of bikes. But you can't take anything away from the SV-650 as a AWESOME starter bike!! Go sit on both of them and see which one you like the most. Thanks for Watching and Commenting Nick🙏🏻. Have a AWESOME weekend my friend!!!!!!

[@BruceCates-qg4ep]

Great review Ray! Thank you!

[@sinswashed4013]

Just a quick question, does the Kawasaki come with the taller windscreen? 😂

[@RayBowdenRides]

🤣That made my day!! Thanks my friend 🙏🏻 .

[@lesgillard985]

Raymond, why didnt you get the 500 Ninja KRT to compare to the Aprillia with racing colours 😢 Both beautiful * Mini Delilahs* 😍

[@RayBowdenRides]

Yep I should have, the Krt that I rode before didn't have keyless ignition. I wanted to show the Ninja 500 Se in this video! Good talking to you Les- Thanks for Commenting my Great friend🙏🏻. Mini Delilahs😉

[@lesgillard985]

Raymond I looked at the Kawasaki Australian site. The 🥷 500 KRT they are importing has the key less ignition 😔, but the Z 500 is Green 😊😊😊... I'm going to end up in the Funny Farm... soon. 😢

[@RayBowdenRides]

@lesgillard985 oh boy- someone has been bit by the new bike 🐛 bug😃.

[@74OBOY]

Team Green 💚 all the way! I wouldn’t own an Aprillia even if it was gave to me! High maintenance cost & unreliable just like Ducati!

[@RayBowdenRides]

Thanks for Commenting 740🙏🏻,have a AWESOME weekend!!!

[@gpd456]

Aprillia comes with a two year warranty...and you're probably going to need it LOL

[@Champion2Manager]

Buy Aprilia - feel unique. Buy Kawasaki - feel ordinary

[@entropy5125]

To be fair....the ninja has aftermarket support out of this world. Pistons rods cams valves full ohlins suspension and any exhaust. you want it, they make it for this bike. It may be new but it IS a ninja 400, just stroked new crank new rods new piston i think? Everything else outside the fairing is identical, same parts numbers and with very little modding it can make just uder 60 hp to the wheel and about 34ft lbs of torque and quick shifters are cheap 2wheel dynoworks offers a quick shifter with their ECU flash 250$ also not to throw shade at the Aprilia but its not made in Italy. That model is made in india
