2026 Kawasaki Ninja 500 ABS

The 2026 Kawasaki Ninja 500 ABS is the new lightweight champion of the sportbike world, designed to be the perfect entry point for new riders and a thrilling "flickable" machine for veterans. At Souhegan Valley Motorsports, we love the Ninja 500 because it takes everything that made the Ninja 400 a legend and adds more torque, sharper styling, and improved tech. Its the ultimate machine for navigating the tight turns of New Hampshire's backroads or making the daily commute to Nashua with ease. 2026 Kawasaki Ninja 500 ABS The Next Generation of Performance Aggressive Ninja Style, Accessible Ergos The Ninja 500 features the unmistakable "large bike" presence of its bigger siblings, the ZX-6R and ZX-10R. With its sharp lines, LED headlights, and aggressive front cowl, it looks like its ready for the track. However, the ergonomics are designed for the street; the upright riding position and relatively low seat height ensure that you stay comfortable and confident, whether you're filtering through traffic in Milford or exploring the Monadnock region.
