          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons

          • Kawasaki Z650

            • Packed with features
            • Claims to offer better mid-range torque than the BS4-compliant version
            • Looks aggressive

            Kawasaki Ninja 500

            • 451cc twin-cylinder engine can handle everything: slow commutes, fast commutes, touring and even hardcore track days…all of it while being very easy to ride even for slightly inexperienced riders
            • Looks - while the design hasn’t undergone a major change in years, the Ninja 500 is still a very good looking bike and will grab a lot of attention
            • Handling - feels very nimble flicking from one corner to the other and once leaned over, the bike feels very stable as well
            • Comfort - the raised clip-on ha

          • Kawasaki Z650

            • Low ground clearance
            • No electronic aids
            • Engine isn’t exactly known to be exciting

            Kawasaki Ninja 500

            • Lack of features - the Ninja 500 misses out on traction control, navigation, a quickshifter and even adjustable levers, features that a lot of lower-priced bikes have as standard
            • Price - at Rs 5,24,000 (ex-showroom India), the Ninja 500 is a lot more expensive than its closest rival, the Aprilia RS 457, which costs Rs 4,10,000 (ex-showroom Delhi)
            • The Ninja 500 is only available in one colourway: Metallic Spark Black, which is quite subtle. It not being offered in Kawasaki’s signature Lime Green

            Worth every single penny
            I am a huge fan of riding, and this bike delivers what almost every rider want , an aggressive approach and smooth handling. Just loved it , however, cost of maintenance and other stuff can get quiet expensive . If you are looking for an weekend kinda bike , then I'll recommend it but not for city (especially crowded cities like mumbai) where u hardly get good patch with low traffic , plus u will encounter speed breakers at the least expected place , so for everyday it's a NO. I cannot stress on how good it glides , even with heavy pillion . Overall a great package if your budget allows it

            I'm regretting for buying this
            Even after spending over 8lakh I will get No traction control, No riding modes, no quick shifter. Shame on kawasaki for manufacturing such a good motorcycle with no feature.

            Great bike just worth
            My neighbour have one and I also ride it on Sunday rides. Overall nice bike with the brand value of Kawasaki. Chlate time jb log dhekte h tab feel ate h koi superbike he chla rhe h 😂😂. Once Mount Abu Ride pr lekr gya tha kafi maza aya chla kr. Bike ki breaking kafi aachi hai. Bike comfortable h like R3 ke jaise haat dhukne nhi ate isme. Sitting posture normal sporty hai. Chaprio jaise nhi chlane pdte.
