                  • 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

                  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.

                  This is a beast of a kind the riding experience is insane for the price it comes for you have to take a ride to feel the power. The suspension is good it goes from 0 to 60 in 2.45 seconds overall great bike having amazing design

                  Adequate power + good mileage for a tourer
                  It could possibly be a good bike for the tourers, especially the ones traveling inter-city or interstate. The bike's comfortable riding position and ergonomic control give the biker the pleasure to be on it while mile-munching on the highways and the bike is equally good on the in-city roads as well. Mileage-wise, the bikes return a comparably better fuel average than similarly priced bikes. But one can also consider the Suzuki GSX S750 for just a tiny buck more. It not only has 2 more cylinders to power itself but it also sports 46PS and a 17Nm surplus of power and torque over the Ninja 650. So the Ninja here is an entry-level adventure tourer where as the S750 is a naked street sports bike that can also be used as a sports tourer but still the Ninja650 will return much better fuel mileage than S750 ever can. Make sure u know what u want before finalizing either of them.

                  Most Comfortable Bike
                  This is the most comfortable bike that feels like sitting on the bed, and performance is next level. Its engine pickup is very nice, and it almost takes 5 seconds to touch 100kmph.
