- Festive offer valid till 30 September
- Discount voucher can be applied against the ex-showroom price
- It includes the GST amount
The festive period is here and Kawasaki India is offering discounts on some of its motorcycles. The Japanese bike maker has announced a discount of Rs. 10,000 on the ex-showroom price of the Ninja 500. This festive offer is valid from 1 September to 30 September and includes GST.
The Kawasaki Ninja 500 is priced at Rs. 5.24 lakh (ex-showroom). With the Rs. 10,000 discount, the effective ex-showroom price of Rs. 5.14 lakh will further reduce the RTO and insurance costs by a few thousand more. So, we can expect an actual discount of roughly Rs. 12,000 to Rs. 13,000 on the on-road price. The new festive offer should help bump up the Ninja 500’s sales by a few notches.
The Kawasaki Ninja 500 is the replacement for the Ninja 400. We have tested the motorcycle and you can read our first ride review here. It 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.
In the features department, the Ninja 500 is quite underequipped 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, Yamaha YZF-R3, and the KTM RC 390.
