The Ninja 400 was launched in India in 2018 and was sold in limited numbers due to its high price tag. However, the last units received significant discounts as Kawasaki dealers wanted to clear stock. The sportbike was powered by a 399 cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine producing 44 bhp at 10,000 rpm and 37 Nm of peak torque at 8,000 rpm. The engine was mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
The new Kawasaki Ninja 500 builds on the Ninja 400 using the same chassis and an improved version of the same 399 cc motor. The new 451 cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine uses a longer stroke while the bore remains the same. Power output reaches 45 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 42.6 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The new motor offers better low-end tractability. The design language is also similar to the Ninja 400, borrowing from the larger Ninja ZX-10R.
The new Kawasaki Ninja 500 has a lot to offer to compete against the likes of KTM RC 390, Yamaha R3, Aprilia RS 457 and more.
