Kawasaki Ninja 500R

The Kawasaki Ninja 500R (which was originally named, and is still referred to as the EX500) is a 498 cc motorcycle manufactured by Kawasaki from 1987 to present. The 2006 model has a MSRP of $5,049 USD. It has a liquid cooled parallel-twin engine with a six-speed manual transmission and has a chain driven drive train setup. This motorcycle is considered an "entry level" sport bike, but has considerable performance. The EX500's parallel-twin configuration provides a combination of power and light weight that has made it popular as an entry level race bike.
