The Ninja 500 has officially replaced the outgoing Ninja 400 model worldwide. Kawasaki made the decision to discontinue the Ninja 400 shortly after introducing the new Ninja 500 to the market. The Ninja 500 is priced the same as the Ninja 400 in India, despite the fact that the pricing for the Ninja 400 was considered exorbitant due to it being a CBU.
The Ninja 400 was first launched in India in 2018 with a hefty price tag of Rs 4.69 lakh. It was a completely new model that differed significantly from the Ninja 300, which continued to be sold in India even after it was discontinued globally. The Ninja 400 was temporarily taken off sale for nearly two years due to the implementation of BS6 emissions norms in 2020, but it made a comeback in 2022.
In our review of the Ninja 400, we found it to be an impressive motorcycle with very few flaws, aside from its high price. The new Ninja 500 is based on the Ninja 400, featuring a larger engine displacement. Despite sharing many similarities with its predecessor, the Ninja 500 offers a refreshed take on the popular model.
With a price tag of Rs 5.24 lakh, the Ninja 500 is priced identically to the Ninja 400. In anticipation of the new model’s release, the Ninja 400 was offered with discounts to clear out old inventory. The Ninja 500 promises to build upon the success of its predecessor while offering riders an updated and improved experience.
Additionally, you can compare the specifications of the Ninja 500 with its rivals to see how it stacks up in the market.
