The new Ninja 500 is Kawasaki's latest and greatest entry-level sport bike. There are some excellent statistical upgrades across the board on this bike, but there are also a lot of areas where the previous generation Ninja 400 holds up very well! The question is, should you go for a new Ninja 500 or just hold out for a discounted Ninja 400? We'll answer it all in this video. Thanks for watching!
Hoping to get back to creating reviews soon enough. Thanks for watching this one. See you in the next one. Ride safe!

Managed to get my first bike, choosing the ninja 500. Got it for 6640 out the door in Ohio
Very nice. Congrats on the bike. Ride safe. Thanks for watching. 😎
Can i ask what dealer you used
Did u buy it straight up?

1 week on Ninja 500 40th Anniversary. First bike. Riding fucking rules.
Hell yea man! that's the bike I'm looking at getting as a beginner!
Gonna get this for my first bike. In a week or so. Super excited.
Great video man covered all my questions.
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
Went with the Ninja 500 se red/black for my first bike. Just waiting til Tuesday when it comes in 🥵
Congrats man. Probably doing the same here soon.
Nice I plan on getting a bike soon and was wondering how much did u get it for?
Now that you have it, is it awesome?
Sadly in portugal we only have the basic green or black color...
Kawasaki is a badass machine, this will be my 2nd ninja I've owned
I was on a 2015 ninja 300 I bought in 2020, rode it for two years out on 26k miles. I sold that bike and was about to buy a 400, but yesterday I went down and bought a 24 Ninja 500 KRT SE yesterday, taking delivery on Thursday, can’t wait for the upgrade
Awesome! Congratulations. Ride safe. 😎
@@Omni_Moto thank you!!!!
How is it so far?
How is it?
@@RobertBeckk phenomenal, absolutely love it, only two gripes, one is fixed was stock exhaust was to big and heel hit it, second is it’s so light I get blown around the highway pretty easy
I like the little critters
SPRING 2024 REVZILLA GIVEAWAY - also thank you very much for this detailed comparison video especially going into the 250,300,400,500 because I owned a 250 and am going to purchase a 500 next paycheck… knowing the comparison helped a ton
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you found it helpful. Entered! 😎
Good video, here in SoCal dealers are asking about $1200 over MSRP - will gouging ever come to an end - riding a 2022 R3 60th Anniversary here 😁.
Good Vid bruv
Good comment bruv, thank you for watching ❤
I havent ridden a bike before so I was wondering if you can compare it to the r3 in terms of beginner,based off milage and ect.
Just picked up an Eliminator 450 great bike with a ninja engine!
I think for that price I would have went for a Vulcan S.
Kawasaki still has the 400 up on their website though ? If its axed whys it there? Also looking at the perfect first bike the 500 looks nice. Sounds good with an exhaust change. Weird question can you put a fatter tire on the stock rim and it work? Slightly wider not alot
getting my permit this week and then i'm buying a ninja 500. After seeing this video it seems like i should definitely buy the SE. Also what is the smart activation system? Is that like a push start for bikes?
Congrats on your permit and good luck with your purchase! The smart key works like a FOB in a car. You have a similar FOB that will alert the bike you are within close enough range where you can power the bike on. The ignition is just a small piece that you twist to power the system on. then you hit your ignition button, and voila! It’ll be alive.
Thanks for watching! Ride safe. 😎
I only rode yamaha mt-07 in motorcycle school and I got my permit last year. I’ve been saving for my first motorcycle for almost a year. A ninja 500 SE here in Croatia costs up to 8000€. I so hope this motorcycle will be worth it and if not, I will horribly disappointed.
Thanks for helping make my beginner bike decision , 500 SE KRT it is
Glad I could help you make a decision! Thanks for watching and ride safe. 😎

Im unsure weather to get a 400 or 500 as my first bike
400,used, the add on prices need to be avoided at all costs..they are humungous !
Spring 2024 Revzilla Giveaway! Thank you for the overview!
Thank you for watching. Entered!
is the SE worth the price differenc? it seems like it but not sure what all those spare parts quantify to in price?
Based on the cost you would incur trying to add all of the bonus items that the SE models come with, I feel it is worth the price increase to go for that trim package if you are thinking you will want them at some point down the road. The value is there, but it's ultimately up to you to decide if it's worth it to you. If you can get by without all of the add-ons, just go for a base model. If you want a bike with a few more features and protection, go for the SE model. Thanks for watching! Ride safe. 😎

@@Omni_Moto just realised now uou put the bunny fortnite music in the background xD
quick question is the ninj 500 physically any bigger than the 400?
In terms of seat height they are quite similar, but the Ninja 500 is a bit longer and wider, making it a heavier and thicker bike.
you made my mind up man, thanks im gonna get a ninja 500 se. im a beginner. couldnt make my mind up on the ninja 400 or 500. or the R3. spring 2024 revzilla giveaway
Glad I could help you make a decision. Thanks for watching! Entered. 😎
I have a 2020 400 and its fantastic
Yep, nothing wrong with the last generation Ninja 400. It holds up very well and can still hang with the new 500 no problemmo!
Just upgraded from the ninja 250 to 400. It's a great leap forward to the 400 . I might enjoy the tft display but can't see how it would be much better.
Very nice step forward! I can't say with integrity that it would be worth it for you to move into the Ninja 500 SE just for the TFT display unless you are absolutely, positively, 100% content with the power output of the Ninja 400. If you ever want more at any point, it'd be more wise to move up to the Ninja 650 which also gets the TFT and a nice dose of increased power. Thanks for watching and ride safe. 😎
upload its top speed on your channel iam subscribing you
@@solomaster8702 Thanks for the sub! The top speed is approximately 115MPH.
@@Omni_Moto bro can you upload one more top speed challenge of 500se, iam pretty sure that it might reach upto 200kmph
@@solomaster8702 Hey, great question. While I don't have access to a Ninja 500 at this moment to set up a test like that, it's reasonable to say the Ninja 500 could obtain speeds of 200KM/H given the right conditions. For those reading this who don't know KM/H, that is roughly 125MPH.
Have a 400 since 2018 getting 500 se 40 th anniversary next month my 4 th ninja good product
Right on. Congratulations! Ride safe. 😎
I have a zx4rr and to save money I was gonna switch to a 500 I wish the krt 500 came with the sliders n cowl tho I do have a cowl on my zx4rr. Financially struggling so I had to go for the cheaper bike is it a mistake?
Staying within your budget is never a mistake. If you can be on 2-wheels and be financially stable, you're winning in my book! Thanks for watching and ride safe. 😎

Spring 2024 Revzilla Giveaway. Honestly, I don't see myself getting a ninja personally. I'm not super big on the full fairing bikes, even though I love the 450SS's looks and standard offerings, and I'm more into cruisers and naked bikes. If you ask me, the fact you STILL have to pay extra for that SE model to get almost all the offerings the 450SS offers from the freaking factory, for almost 1K less, is a bit ridiculous. The big four need to take a hard look at what consumers want and what the new kid on the block is offering, and find out where they're messing up. Yes, the Ninja is an icon in the motorcycle world... but when you have a company offering standard tft dashes, standard abs, standard frame sliders, standard navigation, standard LED lights, and a huge list of other things the big four make you pay extra for... how long will it realistically take for consumers to shift away?

Motorcycles and cars are obviously not the same industry, but we can look at car companies like Kia/Hyundai who initially did not have the trust of American consumers.
Through the power of offering best warranties in the industry and value being delivered at lower prices, the two car OEMs eventually earned the trust of American consumers and now they are some of the best selling vehicles on the roadways. It took them about 15-20 years to establish themselves as such, and I estimate it would take a motorcycle manufacturer equally as long, if not a bit longer since they produce on a smaller scale.
CFMOTO is possibly the largest point of contention in the world of powersports OEMs right now. We are living through the "early adoption" phase of their existence and hopefully we get to live into the peak of their lifecycle as they grow and American consumers put their faith in them.
Thanks for watching!
I want to see some real world performance comparison before i make the decision.

Cf moto 450ss all the way
I used to own the old GPZ 500 (Or ninja 500 in the US) 2003 model. Not only did that old fucker have more CCs, but it's faster than the new one. Honestly, the only "upgrade" the new one has that's worth anything is fuel injection, because those carbs drove me to insanity. I'm honestly super disappointed at the besmirching of the good name of the old Ninja 500 with this new "baby" edition.... Also, love the green lighting, very topical.
Thanks for sharing! The old Ninja 500 (in my opinion of course) felt faster, but on paper they are both very close to the same power output IIRC. I feel braking technology has come a long way since the first gen Ninja 500R as well, and that's the other part some forget about - having plenty of WHOA for all of the GO! It plays a huge role for how the bike actually feels in the hand.
The new Ninja 500 also comes in much lighter than the first gen 500R (varying sources online, but I believe it was about 414 lbs compared to today's 373lbs Ninja 500).
The first gen 500R still holds up very well though, and I think it is a great reminder of where the world of motorcycles in the 500cc segment has been versus where we are today.
@@Omni_Moto Yeah, you may have me there. The old GPZ did have a single disk up front, but later models (including my own) did come with an upgraded two disks. There definitely were a few "ah shit" moments since ABS was non existent on my mode, so I guess that's another +1 the new Ninja has. For the weight, It never did feel heavy or cumbersome, although I guess that's mostly the handling doing it's thing.
My first bike was a Ninja 500. I believe it was a ‘96. It was a seriously fun bike. Now that I’m older and don’t really care about dragging knees anymore, I’ve thought about going back and getting a new 500. I have an adventure bike and a dual sport, but going back to the new version of my first bike sounds like a cool idea.
I wondering if there will be a mt 5 😊
We can only hope. 🤞
Spend the money on upgrades if you own a 400.
This is the way.
I much prefer the look of the 400 over the 500. I liked the look of the headlights better, the 400's lights looks sharper and more dangerous. Same with the 600's as well. The new 600 has the same look as the 500. I prefer the old 600 where the headlights were basically the same as the 400.
Don't get the wearing of a helmet in the video. I'd understand if you were riding doing a vlog style vid.
I get a lot of comments about always wearing the helmet. I'll put it this way: The RUclips algorithm pushes videos largely based on engagement whether it's good or bad. At the end of the day, your comment is still a comment regardless of what the contents are.
Would you have commented on my video if I wasn't wearing the helmet? 🤔
Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting. Ride safe! 😎
