    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

      Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650

      • It gets really premium fit and finish quality
      • The torquey engine makes for a lovely riding experience
      • Brakes on the Super Meteor 650 offer a pretty good bite and feedback

    • 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

      Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650

      • You can really feel the heavy weight of the bike at slow speeds or on U-turns
      • The suspension setup is pretty firm resulting in a slightly uncomfortable riding experience
      • The most expensive Royal Enfield bike on sale

      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.

      Super meteor 650
      A good touring machine with great road presence and performance, paired with stylish looks, decent mileage, and reliability. Royal Enfield offers service and support across India. Surprisingly agile in city conditions, you don't feel the bulk of the bike, and its amazing low-end torque means you don't need frequent gear shifts.

      Bikers Dream
      The bike offers extreme comfort and an excellent riding experience, especially if you love riding on long routes. The maintenance cost for such a beast is reasonable, but not very cheap. The thrust and power are overwhelming, and the cruising experience is on another level. The only drawback is that the bike is not easy to manoeuvre on roads with heavy traffic. Overall, it's a great bike.
