Kawasaki Ninja 500 SE (2024 onwards)

The Ninja 500 SE is a new addition to the most popular family of Kawasaki motorcycles. It comes with a parallel twin engine that is slightly bigger than the one you can find in the Ninja 400. The bike is also a couple of kilograms heavier while having the same horsepower, which is a slight disappointment. You would expect to get a lighter or more powerful bike with the newer model, but sadly this in not the case.

The Kawasaki Ninja 500 SE is still an excellent sports bike that is suitable for both beginners and experienced riders. It features that iconic design we all love on these bikes, while being comfortable and super easy to ride. On top of that, the bike is affordable but more importantly, it is fully A2 legal!
