Kawi just ended cops key snatching 🤣
Have this exact bike. Seeing it in videos does not do it justice. Need to see the 40th in person. Very much like the 80’s and early 90’s Kawasaki paint jobs.
I can't afford it.
Lucky guy, my 400 KRT is jelous
Got this not too long ago. It was the last one left at the dealership. It's my first real bike and I couldn't be happier. It's classic yet showy styling compared with comfortable ergos, fun but comfortable power band. Can't wait to put many miles on this bike!
Just started watching your videos. I really enjoy the way you review the bikes. Very informative
Thank you for watching!
I’m enjoying my 500 SE. I have 600 miles on it so far and get compliments almost every time I take it out
I just bought mine yesterday! I love it already
Good choice! The bike rides and looks great
Which color did you get?
Got mine about a month ago and I also bought 2023 400 .. they do ride ride a little different but the 40th Anniv def stands out, love the paint work, they did a great job.
You are then the perfect person to outline the differences between this bike and the 400! Enlighten us!
@@emadreviews I def will update once I get some more mileage on it, still in "break in" range(we all have our ways). I own 4 Ninja's 2005 250r, 2014 SE ABS 300, 2023 400, 2024 40th ABS 500 .. each has a different feel to it but I do enjoy them all.
@@anthonyarone1 sounds good. Ride safe!
I really want this bike.... something I can use for commuting to work, errands and to just enjoy some longer rides on the weekend.
I have this bike. To turn it on you start in the off position with the turning mechanism, then press in and turn gently to the right, and then once it gets caught you stop pushing in and continue to turn right. Its a bit difficult but after a day or so its easy to get used to.
Nice review, cool bike. On the Kawasaki TFT display, the options thankfully let you shut off the flashing Rev/gear change indicator in the options menu, by pressing both left and right buttons at the same time to bring it up. The MPG miles per gallon and trip meter are a great combination for getting the most out of the fuel tank's range.
Thanks for watching!
The 40th looks far better in person. Had a 400, till it got wrecked. Got this 40th anniversary. Looks very much like the late 80’s-early 90’s Kawasaki paint jobs. This bike is much like the 400. Just more power down low and tech.
The bike has the same colors as my work’s logo! I’m buying a bike mostly to ride to work, so I definitely won’t be buying this color scheme haha!
@@alexandriav3956just got mine to commute to work. It’s amazing, you’ll love it
I had mine flashed and full exhaust. Dyno at 69 HP, and I outrun 500-650 of every make and model, except 4 cylinder bikes. That WHP at the bikes weight is crazy fast.
@@iamjacksrage666 what flash and exhaust did you use if you don’t mind me asking?
I agree I was able to go sit on it today and I love the look of this bike
Awesome review. Looking forward to the next one
Thanks for watching!
This thing is objectively gorgeous
Wow that's the shop I was going to buy my z900 but ended up picking up a MT-10. Wasn't expecting to see a local shop. That was cool.
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed

The Ninja 400 makes mid 40s HP not mid 30s. So although the Ninja 500 doesn't make a ton more peak HP, it does have a larger area under the curve on a dyno chart across the rpm range.
Thank you for providing the correct figure!
regardless, they should sell a 500cc bike not market one. people have the power, smart people control the products that are released. stupid people give the producer the control 🔥🔥
Ninja 400 much better than this 500.
The 40th anniv paintjob definitely makes it look bigger than it is ! ...
I bought the same exact bike cant wait for it to show up this weekend
Sounds exciting! Ride safe
Buying mine this weekend (not this color, though)!! Hopefully… 🤞🏻 I may end up with something else but this one has the extra features I like and has been at the top of my list.
Have you gotten the bike already m8? How is it? :D
Someone is a Doug Demuro fan😂 great video Mate. You got my subscription.
I find Doug’s style concise, informative, and entertaining. Hence why I use it on the topic I’m passionate about, motorcycles!! Thanks for watching!
@@emadreviews dig it. Ive followed Doug for years.
Beautiful bike
In the Philippines the SE edition is in a matte grey with green lining
I got th 40th , love it
Applied for one today, fingers crossed guys! 🎉 I’ll know tomorrow. 🙏🏻
Fingers crossed! 🤞
@@emadreviews thanks man! 🙏🏻
What is the noise it makes when it is running? It’s a very distinct noise. Like a rattle?
i ended up buying it as my first bike, i didnt have the choice to buy the passenger seat and instead I got the seat cowl is that normal?
The "hole" at the bottom of the windshield is to prevent buffeting.
What is that?
Is it the only kawa bike with usb charger?
Couldn't you just have the wind screen tinted to get rid of the glare?
I really hate the key fob thing I was super confused at the dealership trying to actually turn it on. Love the bike though
I agree that the SE is the best buy for the 500. I got a 500 ABS (not SE), and over the next few months have already put more money into modifying the ‘base’ ABS model to be more like the SE. Would’ve saved several hundred dollars by just buying the SE.
Bro you have to press it in once, release it and then put it in the on position
Yes otherwise it just keeps turning ... LOL
The keyless ignition wasn’t working because you were missing the first step. To turn the bike on you have to push the “key” in like a button (an orange light will turn on…it’s that little white dot on top left of keyless knob) and then turn the “key” to the right 😊
Yeah but you can’t keep it pushed in like a car. You have to push it to wake the bike up and then just turn it without pushing. Which was the confusing part to me.
@@emadreviews haha yea you just gotta tap it like a button..orange light is hard to see outside too
Can you review CFMoto 450SR or the new 450 SR-S? IMO that is the best bang for buck for within the 500cc class!
It’s in the plans yeah!
The 40th is cool but looked too cartoony for me in person. I think the KRT looks amazing so I went with that. Also the red looks amazing but has way less visibility.
The SE looks amazing and it has all the extra bits I always add to a bike. That keyless system seems like junk though. Surely it shouldnt be able to spin around like that. Im thinking of getting a smaller bike and its either this or the triumph speed 400. Very different bikes but im really drawn to both for different reasons.
Single disc brake on the front? Hope it's not as woeful as early single disc 500cc Kawasakis.
Here is hoping. It doesn’t look as captivating as double disk configuration
Wish the manufacturers would make budget raw sports bike about 100hp
Great Video, first time bike rider here. Do you think this would be a good bike for a 51-year-old? Or do older people prefer cruisers? Thanks
Welcome to the riding community! There isn’t really an age restriction with this bike. I’d say this particular bike has loud graphics. If that’s your style then by all means! It’s not as comfortable as a cruiser. But it’s lighter than most. Dealership support for me is number one. I’d recommend getting a bike that has a dealership near you. Ride safe!
Can you share the Emad score as a file as well? Like Doug DeMuro
That’s a great idea! Will do shortly
How much you guys think it's worth to spend on a clean used 2020 ninja 400 ? Prices are crazy
I shopped 4 states, and it was literally 1000 to 1500 more to just buy the 2024 SE Anniversary 500. I got mine for $7150 out the door. I saw used 2023 400's for $5500 to 6000. Lmfao.
Whats the average miles per gallon highway and city wise?!?!.
Depends on how you ride it, currently I am getting 48.9mpg ...
I wanted the 2024 Kawasaki 500 SE but the the dealer had it listed as $6,200 but when I went out the door price was $8,070+ crazy I walked out
Almost the same, called about two weeks and they price it at $8,200+ but dude at the dealer told me to wait because they were gonna have a special sale for their anniversary, went in today, got the loan and picking her up Saturday for $7,000
Is there a better sport tourer on the market than this Ninja 500?
cbr500 the real 500cc
@@dotafarm2699looks meh 😒 in red. In the looks department Shrek wins
@@dotafarm2699enjoy roasting your ass off with that exhaust, and the Honda is tame. It's a baby. I test drove both.
So it's not a 500 it's a 450
So you just compared the HP numbers by using the 400s wheel and used the crank HP for the 500 , that’s not really fair lol these bikes make almost exactly the same HP numbers
Really refreshing to see someone actually be critical of the KIPASS system. It felt so gimmicky and cheap when I tried it at the dealership
Damet garm Emad
the muffler looks bad let's be honest it's the one thing I don't like. TBH I should have gotten a diff bike but it just felt so right when I sat on it. Hm..
Ah yes, the Ninja 450...err 500
So sick of hearing this everyone acts like Kawasaki was the first one to do this fact is many many bike manufacturers do the same thing even small gokart engines do it 😂😂😂 get a life
*45HP
Its already smoking
Probably due to having not been started since it left Kawasaki. I hand push it to this location to video so we get the first startup on camera.
Why O Why did Kawasaki fit keyless? It sucks!! Other than that lovely looking bike IMO. Nice video, they seem to be getting better and better! Keep them coming please.
How does paying extra 200 for ugly color scheme equal best bang for buck?
I seen this bike at dealership the color scheme does nothing for me. Doesn't excite me at all, I hate the green on the bike.
I hate the color scheme, too!
Ugly colorway tho
