Recently, I read that Kawasaki has launched its amazing bike, the Kawasaki Ninja 500 2025, in India with the 2025 model, and bike lovers are very excited about it. This middleweight sports bike not only looks great, but its performance is also strong, and it also has new technology.
Whether you are fond of riding a bike in the city or want to enjoy long rides on the highway, this bike can be a great option for you. In this article, I am telling you the features of the Ninja 500, its price, and some easy tips that can make this bike even better.
Kawasaki Ninja 500 2025: Price and Availability
Talking about the price, the 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 500 is an expensive bike with a starting price of Rs 5.29 lakh, which is the ex-showroom price. If compared to its previous model, this bike has now become 5000 rupees more expensive.
This bike comes in metallic carbon gray color in India, in which green highlights make it even more stylish. This bike is not manufactured in India, but it is completely imported, which is why its price is slightly higher. If you are thinking of buying it, then you can book its test ride by visiting your nearest Kawasaki showroom.
Powerful engine and performance
The Ninja 500 is one of the most powerful and advanced bikes in the segment, which has a powerful 451cc engine. Its engine is liquid-cooled and parallel-twin type, which gives it great performance. This bike generates a power of 44.7 horsepower, which makes riding exciting. Also, its torque is 42.6 Newton-meters, which helps in fast speed and better control.
The 6-speed gearbox of this bike comes with slip and assist clutch system. This means that gear shifting will be very smooth and you will also feel less tired on long rides. Its most special feature is its linear power delivery, due to which it can be driven easily in city traffic and it also picks up good speed on the highway.
I read a lot of riders’ reviews online, and they say that this bike offers more torque than the Ninja 400, which improves its low-end performance. This means that this bike is now better for long rides and more fun to ride. If you want a bike that is perfect for both everyday riding and weekend trips, then this bike is perfect for you.
Design and Features: New level of style
Kawasaki Ninja 500 has a look that will make your heart happy. It has twin LED headlights, sharply designed fairings, and an upturned tail section, which gives it the feel of a supersport bike. Its new metallic grey colour and green accents make it stand out and stylish on the road. Its 785 mm seat height will be comfortable for most people.
Now talking about the features, it has a negative LCD instrument cluster which also has Bluetooth connectivity. You can also see your phone’s notifications, call alerts and riding data in it. Along with this, dual-channel ABS, 310 mm front disc brake and Type-C charging port are also provided, which make it more user-friendly. Yes, some people feel that bikes of this range should have also had features like traction control and quick shifter.
Kawasaki Ninja 500 Care:
If you are thinking of buying a Kawasaki Ninja 500, it is important to take good care of it. First of all, talking about the battery, make sure that the battery remains charged even if you are not riding the bike for some time. Check the battery once a month and keep the terminals clean. If the bike is parked for a long time, use a battery charger.
Now talking about the tyres, it has 110-section tyres in the front and 150-section tyres in the rear. Keep checking their pressure regularly, usually it is 32 to 36 PSI. The grip and traction of the tyres play a big role in the riding of this bike, so keep them clean and replace them on time if needed. These small things will keep your bike in good condition.
Which bikes compete?
The market for bikes selling at such high prices in India is not very big, due to which the competition is very high and this bike will definitely get a tough competition from Aprilia RS 457, Yamaha YZF-R3, TVS Apache RR 310 2025 and KTM RC 390. The closest bike to compete with this bike is Aprilia’s RS 457, which is priced at 4.2 lakhs and is quite similar in terms of features, and this bike gets an advantage due to its low price.
On the other hand, Yamaha R3 and KTM RC 390 are known for their excellent riding and power. But the special thing about Ninja 500 is that its balance of performance and comfort is very good, which makes it a great choice for both new and experienced riders. If you are looking for a bike that is suitable for daily riding as well as weekend adventures, then definitely try Ninja 500.

All the changes have been made in the new Kawasaki Ninja 500, which has made this bike one of the best bikes in this segment in terms of style and performance. Its new color option, powerful engine and new features make it a strong contender in the middleweight sports bike category.
