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 Tuono 457
- Looks muscular with a good road presence
- Refined parallel-twin engine with exciting performance and excellent low speed usability
- Lots of features like a 5-inch colour display, Bluetooth connectivity, 3 riding modes, 3 traction modes and preload adjustable suspension at both ends
- Handling is sweet and the bike inspires confidence in the rider to go fast around corners

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 Tuono 457
- Brakes fade quite easily under sporty riding
- Ride comfort on bad roads is a bit harsh and will force you to slow down.

Unique bike but absolute comfort machine
My brother bought this bike a few months ago and it is excellent, in simple this bike is so comfortable to compare to Apache and BMW 310 r, its ride quality and speed, torque are great and the handling when you are at high speed is very smooth which is why i definitely recommend you to buy this bike. Also, I live in a tier 1 city but I only see some of these bikes in rare locations so you have something great and unique
