                • 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.

                  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.

                  Aprilia bike rewiew
                  one of the best bikes i use for speeding,best comfort gets to 100 kms in just 5 seconds,i cant believe a bike with such a fast throttle and pickup giving mileage of 30 kms its out of my mind,maintenance cost is appreciable service and parts available all over India no need for waiting parts just go to aprilla showroom

                  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

                  Took a Test Drive and
                  Took a Test Drive and power to Weight ratio is awesome could have been little softer suspension for good comfort but overall a beast to be on road in my opinion aprilia is going great places after this, previously had a gt 650 and my mind had different view on this but as soon a took a ride wow man its changed

                  This is the most expected
                  This is the most expected bike made and luched in india but according to me the price is little high .it can be expected around 3 lacks in the road price but the price is high.but also the design and performance is top of the most killer among the sports naked bikes in india. I am very happy to purchase this bike
