Here is what they say about it:
The Kawasaki NINJA® 500R is Kawasaki's mid-size sportbike for the motorcyclist who wants NINJA performance and styling at an affordable price. With its exceptionally comfortable ergonomics and "real world torque," it can straighten out a twisty backroad or make daily commuting a pleasure.
Riders of all skill levels will appreciate the NINJA 500R's liquid-cooled, inline twin-cylinder four-stroke engine. With dual overhead cams actuating four valves per cylinder, the snappy motor is user-friendly and inspirational. Indeed, exploring the top end of this engine's rev range is entertaining for even the most seasoned riders.

The high-performance engine isn't the only selling point for the NINJA 500R. On twisty back roads, the bike's lightweight, compact design makes for a great-handling machine. This is complemented by Kawasaki's UNI-TRAK® progressive rear suspension system, standard fare on the larger-displacement NINJA models.

The NINJA 500R also has the sporty styling of its larger siblings, which contribute to both form and function—the aerodynamic half-fairing provides wind protection for the rider, and is stylishly complemented by a lower fairing.

wifes bike, but I rode it for 750 miles to get used to a street bike before I bought the hawk....good first bike for anyone....

 

Bump

 

Good beginner bike.
Great gas milage!!!
Wish my wife would let my son ride I'd buy it for him

 

How old is he? If he's old enogh and you ride chances are he'll sneak a ride on a friends bike or steal yours! Tell her the more she tells him no the more he'll want to ride, that's how I got a bike at 8yrs old. I kept takeing rides on my brothers MR 175 which was way too big so they broke down and got me a yz 80.

 

Damn man, bringing back some memory's.....YZ80 Saturday mornings in the clay pits in Berin Field...old abandond Naval Base in AL.....wow....

Dawg, I here ya, my son is driving me nuts, but I don't want to hold it for 2 more years....nor will I let him ride street at 16, not enough going on upstairs at that age!! lol....

It is a great bike, I ride it around the block every 2 or 3 days just to keep it running good, battery charged up and all....nothing worse than for them to just sit.....she is tight as a new bike.....

 

Take him to the track you could be first timers together, he'll get his speed kick in a safe invro and you have some great bonding time....before he hates you and threatens to never talk to you again. Can't wait till mine are teens.

 

Ha, Ha, Hey, wait, I haven't been to the track yet.....and he is only 14, so no way in hell he is getting on a street bike til he is like 40.....ok maybe 30 we will see...lol.....

 

Afraid he'll embaress the ol' man? I can't wait till mine are old enough to get dirt bikes!

 

See dirt I don't mind, cause it's just you and the eliments...On the steets, or should I say concrete jungle, there are way toooooo many idiots, and God only knows what one or more of them will do.....

 

Hell ya...If they want to ride it'll be years of training in the dirt first like thier ol'man did. Not only what you said but you can fall in the dirt get back up and decide....do I really want that to happen on the pavement? Plus there are a lot of things you learn on the dirt that can save your *** on the street.

 

I know, I mean dirt don't hurt....but assphalt on the other hand, well lets break it down ***/fault....see what I mean.....boy someone is stretching it on this one....thin, very thin.....

 

Well bike sold today....yipee, now I can buy more pretty things for the Superhawk...oh what is that honey, oh yeah, I forgot it's your bike, so oh well.....worth a shot.....Thanks all....
