There's just something about the 500 that makes veteran bikers giggle. Guys that are used to liter bikes hopping on a 451CC never expect it to actually do what they tell it to. No, first gear won't go 80MPH, but it really doesn't need to. And I think they called it the 500 instead of 450 is because of some Chinese trademark or something?
I prefer non abs because that’s what I’m used to and it’s better on track and it also saves money. ABS is good for people learning to ride or who ride in all types of conditions but I’ve only ever found it to reduce my ability to brake fast. Some brands make their abs systems better than others, my only ABS experience is with my Yamaha and I’m considering removing it.
After riding the CB500F for 24k miles it got a little old. I think if I had bought the ninja I would have enjoyed it longer but at the end of the day all bikes are awesome.
At least on the one bike I’ve owned that has it it engages way too easily and causes my braking ability to suffer even on dry straight roads. I’ve heard it’s less noticeable on some brands more than others but I’m not a fan of it.

That guy on the z500 was scary to watch 😅There's just something about those test ride days that brings dudes like that out of the woodwork
He seemed new to riding, nice kid but didn’t seem to have a handle on the basics quite yet lol.
I picked myself up a Ninja 500 last month. And I would have actually preferred it being called a Ninja 450. Sounds cooler imo.
@@sanjyuuichi3355 agreed but the bike is great either way, congrats!

And that kid on the z500 showed why they're adding the slip/assist clutch. lmfaooooooooooooo
I bought without abs . Which one do you like better and why?

Tiny tire, I got the moondust matte white 2024 Ninja 😊
Sick congrats
I see only old men and young woman on this bike mostly. Would love to have one 💔
@@BabyMikeVenom I have a 636 and an MT10 and love the ninja 400/500. Great bikes for so many reasons
why do you regret the CB500? why prefer the ninja? i'd love to know what you think!

Is it has quickshifter ?
Not the version I rode, maybe the SE version has it?
No version of the 500 has it, sadly.
I wish i could qualify to buy one 😢🎉
Have patience all bikes are awesome and before you know it you’ll be on the bike of your dreams
Why do you say that ABS is awful?
At least on the one bike I’ve owned that has it it engages way too easily and causes my braking ability to suffer even on dry straight roads. I’ve heard it’s less noticeable on some brands more than others but I’m not a fan of it.
@@2WCapo thank for the clarification!
No chance I hate the analog. That looked sooo yuck and ugly on the 400.
Upgrade from what a moped
Lol! I was just referring to the 400-500 change
Noo the n500 it's pretty classy it'll go like 118 stock and it's extra light. Pretty great upgrade.
@@BabyMikeVenom 118 is slow... they're great first bikes tho
