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.
