The increase in prices with GST 2.0 has made the Kawasaki Ninja 500 a lot more expensive and less competitive compared to the Aprilia RS457.
The RS457 comes with more modern features than the Ninja and will also likely be over Rs 1 lakh cheaper (by our internal calculations, as the new pricing is yet to be announced).

In the middle-weight supersport segment, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R is the most powerful model, with 124PS and 69Nm. It is also Kawasaki’s only bike in this segment with an inline four-cylinder engine as the rest of the bikes are all parallel-twins.
It is aimed at riders who are looking for the ultimate track weapon that isn’t as costly as litre-class track bikes. Although the price increase of Rs 80,000 is a letdown, it is still manageable - especially to its target buyers. The same can be said to Kawasaki’s other 650cc bikes too, as they are more of a luxury purchase rather than a necessity.
