Starter

Its a good starter bike. It was my first bike, and I was never "afraid" of the bike. It could take me past my limits at the time, and possibly even today, depending on how sharp the corner is. It is very a comfortable, easy ride. For some this could be all the bike and more, but for myself..., a 21 y.o. male, I need some more engine now.
The only knocks I have on it are the styling, it looks very similar to the very first models, and the ease of working on it. Trying to do some seeminly simple tasks you have to do unnecessary things, eg , loosen fairings, take off the gas tank, have a goose necked socket just to change the spark plug. Read Full Review

Great starter bike

This was my first bike and it is amazing. It gave me the performance I needed and allowed me to ride with my friends with the big bikes.
It run for about 55MPG and had very low maintenance. I used it both for commuting and pleasure. It is very easy to handle.

Ninja 500R

This is my first sport bike.... not my first motorcycle.. ill tell you this that the bike will do what you want and more,.... If you know how to drive this bike right you can keep up with anything. Ive had this bike do 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and thats pretty quick for an old ninja... I love this bike y...ou can hit the corners on this bike better than on a fz07 no problem... if your looking to getting into riding sport get this bike you will love her.. or you could get a newer ninja 400 but it still doesn't beat these old ninja 500r twin cylinder 4 valves per cylinder dual exhaust models Read Full Review
