Kawasaki Ninja 500 2024

Kawasaki Ninja 500 2024

The Kawasaki Ninja 500 is a marvellous deceptive package with all its advantages and actually no disadvantages. Because anyone expecting super-sporty performance from this entry-level mid-range sports bike has got something wrong. Instead, the 45 hp engine gets off to a good start right from the bottom and has a throaty, sporty roar when you wind out a gear. The handling is extremely agile thanks to the low weight and narrow tyres, and the suspension surprises with unexpected aplomb. The brakes don't scare anyone and the ergonomics are pleasantly suitable for everyday use despite the superbike look. The standard Ninja pays off for all those who really want it very discreet.

Engine with more stroke provides more torque and thus appears much more mature

The Crossfire 500 XC is also a real statement in the A2 class as a scrambler variant that does not have to hide from the established competition! Its in-line two-cylinder engine, which has matured in the meantime, is still no performance miracle, but it is easily enough to keep the bike happy in any situation. Despite higher suspension travel and chunky tyres, the Brixton Crossfire 500 XC still feels at home on the road, but on tougher terrain, the insufficiently damped shock absorbs the shock quickly. If the front brake needed a little less hand force, there would probably be nothing essential to complain about in this price/performance class.

Elastic engine

high-quality components (chassis, brakes and tyres)

comfortable seating position

taut, adjustable chassis

very agile handling

adjustable brake and clutch lever

grandiose design with great attention to detail.

Front brake requires a lot of hand force

suspension strut poorly damped

cheap-looking fittings
