Kawasaki NINJA 500 reviews

As a female rider was a great buy! Adjustable height added so I could touch the ground. Controls to "dummy down" the traction, power modes, and ABS make it a great bike for new or experienced riders. It saves the money of not having to buy a bigger, more powerful bike later since you can have a 400 and 750 all in one! Show less

Bike was ridden last year and was perfectly fine. Fairings need a little bit of work with the side lights. Bike is solid just under 26k miles. Bike was own buy me for very little time. will take best offer to. Show less

This dealer pre prices before looking at the bike when they get it from auction. They then do necessary repairs to make it profitable to sell, mark it at just above reasonable price then tack on another $2000 in fees. Saying the customer has to pay for them buying a busted bike, fixing it so they can even sell it, charge you for them cleaning it and doing typical cost-of-ownership maintenance, plus doc fees. Doc fees and taxes I get. But it's gross they put it at a somewhat ok price to get people to call then throw $2000 on top last second and talk to you like you're dumb because you know that's scummy. If you advertise a bike for $6,999 and then say the out the door price is $9000 then just put it up for $8500. Oh but that wouldn't be a good market price for a 2014 zx10r with over 20k miles, huh?

I was looking for a cruiser style motorcyle that wasn't too heavy, had satisfiable acceleration and speed, and was not too costly. I looked at the new Kawasaki Vulcan S 650 but did not want to spend $8,000 to nearly $10,000 after taxes and mainly motorcycle dealer costs on a motorcyle as this is just a leisure form of transportation. I looked into the pre-owned Suzuki Boulevard S40 (LS650 Savage), Suzuki Boulevard M50, Honda Rebel 300, Honda Rebel 500, and some pre-owned Harley Davidson models but they were either too slow, too heavy, rated to have too uncomfortable seating, or too expensive for what they are. I looked into the Kawasaki Vulcan 500 and saw a few on Facebook Marketplace sell quickly for about anywhere from $2,000 to $2,800 and heard that these motorcycles (Kawasaki Vulcan 500) once had the quickest acceleration off the line for it's class at one specific point in time and were of the lightest in it's class. I found another Vulcan 500 on the market and purchased it. On the first ride I was impressed with the acceleration off the line and the handling. It was easy to put away or push into storage as it's not too heavy. After owning it a while, it has been reliable, and starts right up every time. In regards to comfort the seat can be uncomfortable after riding over an hour or so. Also, when riding at higher speeds on the highway it does feel a bit wavy or not fully stable I think due to it's light weight. It may be best suited for backroad travel, main roads, and in town travel but not highway travel at 70 mph travel. Show less

I don’t have any comments on this motorcycle as I can’t Find the 2023 H2 Base . Not actually true I can find The H2 naked for 18-20K Or the 2023 H2 SX SE for 28K! The H2 Base 31,500, The H2 Carbon 35 K and finally the H2R 57,500, You’ll find them all day long the 3 over 30K that is But you won’t they don’t have them!! Has a price etc But when ya look closely it says it’s new but no mileage, no stock number, Most importantly no vin number!!!! Why try to sell you something they don’t have and that you have to order in June till December for the next model year!! I hear Cycle Trader saying they have no “Control” Over it I’m a betting man I bet they have them advertise for sale every model of said manufacturer Kawi,Suzuki,Yamaha Etc I’m calling out Cycle Trader. So No mileage No stock Number no vin Don’t waste your time!!!! Unless ya wanna order a 2024!! They’re out there my 1394 bikes nationwide found 6 North Carolina, Texas and California Show less

I had a 2007 ZX14….Smooth, fast as hell, dependable, and comfortable for two up riding all day….Best bike they ever built….I sold it and regretted it instantly…….Luckily it has been replaced with a newer one….This one will never be sold…EVER ! If you have doubts about buying one, just do it but respect it or you will be sorry. This is not a bike for little boys….. Show less

Kinda crazy but was looking for a 2007 ninja and came across this one. And know for a fact this bike is or was in good condition because it was mine. I bought this bike in n. Hampton NH right out the showroom in 2007. I did all the work to this bike. Rims were custom done but were polished not green. I actually want to make an offer to get it back. Absolutely love this bike. Show less

PLEASE NOTE: For some reason I was not able to load the exact motorcycle in the initial "description box" for this personal review, ??? Even trying w/a "manual load" option that Cycle Trader offered. ??? So...the closet to auto load from a drop down menu was a '94 ZX11D2...which my bike is a '93 ZX11D1. "Close as I could get"...to process this narrative. Enjoy! I've ridden Show less

03/04 kawasaki 636... looks, power and it completes me♥️. My favorite bone stock or fully set up to stunt or just enjoy two wheels and the open air. I prefer fully adjustable clip on's so I can push them forward and move them up about 2 inches over stock heigh. For street gearing, I like a 50 tooth rear sprocket,stock front and if it's a dedicated lot bike 60 rear 15 front (stock.) They like to run hot so a 13 radiator for added capacity and two R-6 fans for more air flow. One fan coming on at the stock 216°F, the other on a switch I'll throw on if it creeps above 220°. Which it often does. Stunt piece definitely a handbrake. 13mm if it's a magura master 16 if it's a Brembo with a Hohey double caliper bracket. Stock foot brake and nissin 4 piston for the handbrake. RSC easy pull 2 finger clutch lever and gotta have the stealth stay front fairing stay and metal wind screen. I've had graveyard custom tanks before but a hand made hammer myself dent with HT moto is easier for me to transition from tank to sitdown or highchair from 50/50 and out side saddle with confidence. I've got one 04 bone stock extra pristine with 1,100 original miles in orange. Not a scratch and I just changed out the stock Bridgestone rubber that came with it. Then, my '04 stunt piece that's almost as clean fully built with 15k. Second motor as I hydro locked the original because of long, tall wheelies and rev limiter coasters with no kleen air mod. Bike was smoking like crazy and the airbox was full of oil. That oil then finds it's way into the #1 cylinder and bogged down the motor eventually shutting it off and filling the hole full of oil. Since it wasnt high in the RPM's it didnt break internals just bent the #1 Show less

Partss manager is a rude and lazy, she will lead you on to think she will help and find what u need, then make u wait for months, her excuse will be she has a job! Everyone does! I do not recommend buying anything from them unless u know u will never need parts or anything, o and the parts are 20 mins from me away in a storage, but they that lazy Show less
