2025 Kawasaki Ninja 500 launched at Rs 5.29 lakh

-Gets new colours

-Price has risen by Rs 5,000

The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 500 has been launched in India at Rs 5.29 lakh, ex-showroom. The bike gets a new colour as part of the 2025 model year update, while being Rs 5,000 dearer than the outgoing motorcycle.

The Kawasaki Ninja 500 is powered by a 451cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine that produces 44.7bhp at 9,000rpm and 42.6Nm at 6,000rpm. The motor is paired with a six-speed gearbox.

The styling of the bike is like an evolution of the Ninja 400. From the twin LED headlights to the shape of the fairings and the upswept tail, the Kawasaki Ninja 500 looks like a proper supersport. The dash of Kawasaki Green on the side fairings does manage to uplift the appearance of the Ninja 500 in comparison to the outgoing bike that was almost all-black and lacked road presence.

In the features department, the Ninja 500 is quite under-equipped compared to its rivals. It gets a negative LCD cluster that offers Bluetooth connectivity and displays rider information such as mobile notifications and riding logs. Other features include dual-channel ABS and an assist and slipper clutch. The Ninja 500 rivals the Aprilia RS 457 and the Yamaha YZF-R3
