Features may include:

NEW, LARGER-DISPLACEMENT ENGINE
  • Well-Balanced Power and Strong Acceleration

Smooth, powerful acceleration is available with a twist of the wrist from a new 451cc engine. The acceleration feels brisk thanks to plenty of power in the low- to mid-rpm range, and, when the throttle stays on, enough power in the high-rpm range to hit higher speeds with ease. With well-balanced power output and strong acceleration throughout the rev range, the combination of this engine with a lightweight chassis makes the machine well-suited to a wide variety of riding situations including everyday riding.

LIGHTWEIGHT, MANOEUVRABLE CHASSIS
  • Easy Handling

Easy to use is the key, as the compact chassis has been designed to be as user-friendly as possible. Predictable handling thanks to a chassis conceived with light weight, manoeuvrability, and mass centralisation in mind provides excellent feel and inspiring confidence for a wide range of riders. The easy handling also facilitates manoeuvring when parking.

HIGH-CLASS, INTENSE DESIGN
  • Race-Inspired, Big-Bike Looks

No matter from what angle the Ninja 500 is seen, its distinctive front face and sleek, flowing lines make it clear that this is a member of the Ninja family, with race-inspired, big-bike looks. The shape of the full-fairing bodywork fosters a sense of unity with the rider, helping them feel at one with the bike.
