Kawasaki Ninja 500 launched in India at Rs 5.24 lakh, rumoured to replace Ninja 400
The Kawasaki Ninja 500 has arrived in India, carrying a starting price tag of Rs 5.24 lakh (ex-showroom).
This positions it directly against the more expensive R3, RS 457, and RC 390, leaving room for speculation about its potential to replace the similarly priced Ninja 400.

It will slightly be heavier than the Ninja 400 but lighter than competitors like the RS 457 and RC 390.
It also offers a taller seat option for riders seeking additional height.
However, being priced at Rs 5.24 lakh, it is the most expensive option compared to its rivals.
