I just recently started riding, about a month now, and am wanting some general advice from experienced riders. I have a 2004 Kawasaki Ninja 500R so if ya know anything, or just wanna chat, hit me up sometime.
out on the highway my 500R goes from 70 to 130 really really fast, so I don't think it is quite the same engine. You should be able to find engine specs, (compression, stroke, bore, ect.) and compare them.mbrubin said:anybody know if the ninja 500 engine is the same as the vulcan 500ltd engine? my wife's 500vulcan has more poop outa the hole than my 800...course when we get out on the highway.....![]()
They're based on the same platform but are not identical. Ninja rated at 60 hp LTD is 46 hp. Cruisers are usually set up to deliver max torque at lower rpm which helps off the line. The gearing is also responsable for quick starts.mbrubin said:anybody know if the ninja 500 engine is the same as the vulcan 500ltd engine? my wife's 500vulcan has more poop outa the hole than my 800...course when we get out on the highway.....![]()
You will never succeed in beating me, unless you put out a little effort, that would probably do me in. :lol:sunshine said:Ya know I started out with the Ninja 250 ....needed more of a bike.....I skipped the 500 and went to the Ninja zx-6............when you are ready to move up try that bike........its great.....I'm only 5'2 and the 600zx-6 is easy for me...........when you feel like nothing will happen to you on your bike its time to move up....(trying to get my post up)
Just give me time............so be it....Freakinout said:You will never succeed in beating me, unless you put out a little effort, that would probably do me in. :lol:sunshine said:Ya know I started out with the Ninja 250 ....needed more of a bike.....I skipped the 500 and went to the Ninja zx-6............when you are ready to move up try that bike........its great.....I'm only 5'2 and the 600zx-6 is easy for me...........when you feel like nothing will happen to you on your bike its time to move up....(trying to get my post up)
If you are set on beating me you will, I get lazy frequently and don't move away from the couch.sunshine said:Just give me time............so be it....![]()
