Verdict

Kawasaki has upped the price by Rs 5,000 and changed the colour option, and launched the MY2025 of the Ninja 500. We believe the hike in prices occurred due to a rise in commodity prices. However, we were expecting it to get OBD-2B compliant, but there is no clarification on it. Apart from it, this is a fantastic motorcycle to ride, and its engine is just top class - super refined and packed with huge power. However, the limited service network of Kawasaki means only people living in metro cities or big cities can buy it.
