Kawasaki Ninja 500 2024 vs. Yamaha YZF-R6 2014

Kawasaki Ninja 500 2024

The Kawasaki Ninja 500 is a marvellous deceptive package with all its advantages and actually no disadvantages. Because anyone expecting super-sporty performance from this entry-level mid-range sports bike has got something wrong. Instead, the 45 hp engine gets off to a good start right from the bottom and has a throaty, sporty roar when you wind out a gear. The handling is extremely agile thanks to the low weight and narrow tyres, and the suspension surprises with unexpected aplomb. The brakes don't scare anyone and the ergonomics are pleasantly suitable for everyday use despite the superbike look. The standard Ninja pays off for all those who really want it very discreet.
