This is the Discontinued Ninja 500 (1987-2009) and it had some pretty good Specs for its production time and performance. It is Interesting too because the New Ninja 400 has around 45+ horsepower and with a few Mods it should surpass the Ninja 500 in all around handling and performance. It seems that all that Bikes that are made now have around the same power as the ones that are about 100ccs bigger in the not so distant past. It makes me feel really good to see the NEW WAVE Technology is making even a smaller Motorcycle like the Ninja 400 to have even better or the same as performance as the Ninja 500. The Insurance and fuel Mileage is much better and made in a very neat and good looking package. Like I shared in my last post. I almost bought a Ninja 500 about 2 years ago and really glad that I did not do it and held out to buy a much more High Tech smaller Bike that does better at the same job performance wise. But I will say that the Ninja 500 was no slouch and could hold its one with what it was!.
