Few
motorcycle
designs
manage
to
balance
a
rider's
need
for
performance,
comfort
and
sport
bike
style
as
well
as
the
Ninja®
500R.
Expert
and
beginning
riders
will
appreciate
the
Ninja
500R's
liquid-cooled,
inline
2-cylinder
4-stroke
engine.
With
dual
overhead
cams
actuating
4-valves
per
cylinder,
the
snappy
motor
is
user-friendly
and
inspirational.
Exploring
the
top
end
of
this
engine's
rev
range
is
entertaining
for
even
the
most
seasoned
riders.
The
high-performance
engine
isn't
the
only
selling
point
for
the
Ninja®
500R.
On
twisty
back
roads,
the
bike's
lightweight,
the
compact
design
makes
for
a
great-handling
machine.
This
is
complemented
by
Kawasaki's
UNI-TRAK®
progressive
rear
suspension
system,
standard
fare
on
the
larger-displacement
Ninja
models.
The
Ninja®
500R
also
has
the
same
sporty
styling,
which
contribute
to
both
form
and
function–the
aerodynamic
half-fairing
provides
wind
protection
for
the
rider,
and
is
stylishly
complemented
by
a
lower
fairing. |
