          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons

          • Yamaha R3

            • Design - looks like a proper Japanese sportsbike and will grab a lot of attention
            • Versatile engine - tractable enough for city rides and rev-happy enough to enjoy being ridden hard
            • Handling - changes direction with minimal efforts and inspires a lot of confidence when tipped into corners
            • Comfort - tall clip-ons and a relatively upright riding posture means it’s quite comfortable for a sportsbike

            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

          • Yamaha R3

            • Cramped lower body ergonomics - riders above 5’10 will find the lower body ergonomics quite tight
            • No features - quickshifter, traction control and every Bluetooth connectivity, the R3’s console misses out on a lot of things that other bikes in the segment offer as standard. All it gets is a digital console and ABS
            • A price tag of Rs 4,64,900 (ex-showroom Delhi) makes the R3 a very expensive bike
            • The R3 is expensive and not the best value for your money. That said, it’s still a very reliable, fri

            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

            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.
