The 2026 Kawasaki Ninja 500 SE ABS is a sport-oriented, middle-weight machine offering a fine balance of accessibility and excitement. With a 451?cc liquid-cooled parallel twin delivering about 51 horsepower and 31.7?lb-ft of torque, it’s paired with a 6-speed transmission for responsive shifting. The bike sits on a high-tensile steel trellis frame and uses a 41?mm hydraulic fork and a horizontal back-link rear suspension to keep handling sharp and agile. Braking is managed via a 310?mm front disc and 220?mm rear disc, with ABS standard. Ergonomically, it’s approachable with a seat height around 30.9?in and a wheelbase of 54.1?in. The SE version adds premium touches like a full-color TFT display with smartphone connectivity, keyless start, USB-C outlet, LED signals, a larger windshield and special graphics—making it both a stylish and practical choice for sport riding and daily use.
