          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons

          • 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

            Aprilia RS 457

            • Looks - looks sporty, aggressive and premium. Good build quality and sharp design mean it attracts a lot of attention
            • Engine - lots of torque throughout the rev range makes commuting very easy. Quick overtakes even in a gear higher are effortless
            • Tyres - the TVS Eurogrip Protorq Extreme tyres are fantastic both in dry and wet conditions, no complaints there
            • Features - the TFT console is user-friendly and offers a lot of useful information
            • Price - at Rs 4.10 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), it is the mo

          • 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

            Aprilia RS 457

            • Riding posture - the clip-on handlebar is low-set and on the committed side, not the best for everyday commuting
            • Firm rear suspension - the RS 457’s monoshock is on the firmer side and lighter riders will be tossed around a bit when going through potholes and sharp speed breakers
            • Reliability - the RS 457 is coming out of a factory that’s never made a bike before so its reliability and how Aprilia handles its after-sales service is yet to be seen

            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.
