Vehicle Information
Kawasaki Ninja 500 Motorcycle - Street (1987-2026)
The Kawasaki Ninja 500, also known as EX500 or GPZ500S, has been a popular sportbike from 1987 to 2026, recognized for its accessible performance and versatility. Its evolution is marked by two distinct engine generations. The first, from 1987 to 2009, featured a 498cc parallel-twin engine. This generation underwent a significant redesign in 1994, introducing 17-inch wheels, a rear disc brake, and updated aesthetics, leading to its rebranding as the Ninja 500R. The second generation, launched in 2024, brought a new 451cc parallel-twin engine, derived from the Ninja 400, along with modern styling, LED lighting, and a new digital dashboard. This new engine also features fuel injection, a departure from the carbureted system of earlier models. Throughout its production, the Ninja 500 has been available under various names and trims, including EX500, GPZ500S, Ninja 500R, and for the latest generation, Ninja 500, Ninja 500 ABS, and special editions like the Ninja 500 SE ABS and KRT Edition.
