Kawasaki on Monday launched the 2027 Ninja 500 in India at an ex-showroom price of ₹5.76 lakh. The new motorcycle comes in a single lime green colour, with no expansion in dealership availability. Deliveries are expected to begin soon.
The 2027 Ninja 500 remains largely unchanged from the previous model. The design, engine, chassis and equipment are all carried over. The primary update is the lime-green paint scheme and graphics. The motorcycle continues to target the sporty middleweight segment with its parallel-twin motor.

The colour scheme is the biggest change for 2027. The Ninja 500 is now offered in lime green colour with white and blue graphics. Styling remains familiar, with a sleek tail area, twin LED head lamps and a side-mounted exhaust.
The Indian-spec motorcycle still uses halogen turn indicators.
The Ninja 500 continues with a 451 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine producing 45 PS and 42.6 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox.
It retains the Assist and Slipper Clutch, designed to ease clutch operation and prevent rear-wheel lock-up during aggressive downshifts.
