2024 Kawasaki KLX300/KLX300SM Review Gallery

As classic starter bikes for many, or secondary play bikes for those with disposable incomes, all four bikes come highly recommended. The KLX300, and its 292cc Single hasn’t changed much throughout the years because it hasn’t really had to. It’s approachable and inviting nature is the whole point, and Kawasaki nailed it from the start. However, Kawasaki felt it fit to update the looks of the little KLX to keep it fresh with today’s buyers. Then, of course, adding a supermoto version only ups the fun factor for those with more street-biased fun in mind.

2024 Kawasaki Ninja 500 Gallery

The Ninja 500 brings back a once popular model for Kawasaki, as the original Ninja 500 had been a staple in Kawi’s lineup for over two decades, from 1987 to 2009. This new version shares nothing with the old bike other than the fact it has the same engine size and configuration. Technically, the new Ninja 500 has a 451cc Parallel-Twin, and it's surrounded by a better chassis, brakes, and suspension. Most importantly, it looks way cooler than the old Ninja 500, too. Of course, this latest version is really an update to the outgoing Ninja 400, with a bigger version of this same engine.

The Z500 SE takes the Ninja 500 above, just like the Z400 took the Ninja 400 before it, strips away much of the bodywork, adds a handlebar, and creates a different riding dynamic.
