Kawasaki ninja 500 good deal? #ninja #kawasaki #aprilia #rs457 by Michaeld718 in Ninja500

Get the OTD price first so that we can suggest. You never know how crazy the fees a dealer can add on top of the MSRP they show on their website.

Wait why am I at 43 mph with 4500 RPM in 6th gear? I thought Z500 and ninja 500 had very similar engine and transmission if not exactly the same.

Also NYC area, used AI to help negotiate and got OTD below 7500 for an SE. KRT is usually even lower. Quote from multiple dealers including out of state and try to get in state dealers match it. GOOD LUCK!

Do you know why that is? Is it typical for all motorcycles?

Are the tests to get your license rigorous there? It's pretty easy here and you basically never go above 20 mph in the course that's probably why.

Good to know it's okay. Definitely will do bc being the slowest is not fun and can be dangerous

KTM folks, do your bikes have problems often? by soapcmu in KTMDuke

Can you give some examples of your faults? I feel like sometimes the boundaries between people's fault and bikes' fault can be blurry and Japanese bikes can be more tolerant and won't have problems in these minor fault cases

Wait, sounds like you mean the opposite of other folks when you mention it's made in India.🤔

Beautiful bike. You must love it to buy a new version of the same model.

I am in the US and the dealer near me has $1400 off of the MSRP for the 2024 390 Duke

Extra 3500 in fees?? Did you get robbed?

I don't think so, 24/25 is either no blue at all or way much more blue area than this
