Kawasaki Ninja 500R

Kawasaki ninja 500r is one of my favorite motorcycle from Kawasaki, it's because the price of Kawasaki ninja 500r is cheap enough, and Ninja 500R really good choice for you who want to try better motorcycle than little series Kawasaki ninja 250r with only 250cc of engine capacity. "Kawasaki ninja 500r" come with 498cc of engine capacity, it's also powered by 4-stroke, DOHC, parallel twin, and good cooling system liquid-cooled.

Kawasaki ninja 500r price $4,999 (for 2009 edition), it's not far away from Kawasaki ninja 250r price with almost $4000 right? so you can get better power and also performance with $1000 pay more for Kawasaki ninja 500r. One thing that I don't like from Ninja 500R is design, yeah ninja 250r (new series) better than 500R, but the 2005 Kawasaki ninja 250R design almost same with Kawasaki ninja 500r design. The advantage is the power and also engine Kawasaki 500R is better.
