The Kawasaki Ninja 500R (which was originally named, and is still referred to as the EX500 and is known as the GPZ500 in some markets) is a 498 cc motorcycle manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries from 1987 to present. The US 2008 model has a MSRP of $5,099 USD. It has a liquid cooled parallel-twin engine with a six-speed manual transmission and a chain driven drive train setup. This motorcycle is considered an "entry level" sport bike, but has considerable performance. The EX500's parallel-twin configuration provides a combination of power and light weight that has made it popular as an entry level race bike. 2009 will be the last model year for the Ninja 500.
For touring the EX500 has an 18 litre (4.8 us gal) fuel tank, reserve included. Without tapping into the reserve the range can exceed 325 km (202 mi).
