High-Class, Intense Design

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.

Superb Ride Comfort And Wind Protection

Seats with thick cushioning and low-rebound urethane contribute to superb ride comfort. The Ninja 500’s large volume bodywork also offers great wind protection, further contributing to ride comfort.

Lightweight Trellis Frame

The Ninja 500 features a trellis frame similar in design to that of the Ninja H2. Kawasaki’s advanced dynamic rigidity analysis was used to ensure optimum rigidity with light weight. The engine is rigid-mounted and used as a stressed member. The frame design contributes significantly to the bike’s low curb mass.

Light, Predictable Handling

The chassis has a supersport-style short-wheelbase/long swingarm design, complemented by an optimized trail setting that delivers light, natural handling. The bike’s light weight also contributes to easy handling and facilitates maneuvering when off the bike, such as when parking.

Assist & Slipper Clutch

Kawasaki’s Assist & Slipper Clutch results in a light clutch pull for even more rider-friendly and manageable riding in everyday situations, and reduced skipping and hopping from the rear for better sport riding and added confidence.

Powerful, Rider-Friendly 451 cm³ Parallel-Twin Engine

The power available from the 451 cm³ engine is found through the entire rpm range to make it easy for riders to use, no matter what kind of riding they are doing, from low-end power for accelerating off the line in the city to top end revs for riding on the highway. The engine in the new Ninja 500 is up the task, no matter what it may be.

Instrumentation With Smartphone Connectivity

Both the full LCD instrument panel on the standard models and the TFT display on the SE models offer smartphone connectivity, enabling riders to connect with their machines to enjoy display notifications, riding logs, and community features.

Latest-Design Ninja "Face"

The Ninja 500’s “face” is based around two newly designed compact headlights. Below them two spoilers protrude forward and complete the striking look.
