There is only one guy you need who can talk and teach you about motorcycles and that is MotoJitsu !

I classify this as a gentleman’s sport bike for us older riders past the hair on fire days. Does require ditching the factory exhaust that’s for sure but this is one of the most pleasant sport bikes I’ve ever ridden

What kinda exhaust would you recommend to put on it? I myself was thinking I could maybe put an Akrapovic on it when I finally get my license and buy this bike

Awesome bike. I've had two. Sold them because I wanted more power. Now that I'm more experienced I would go back to this.

Thanks for these ride reviews, they're great! I watch them for fun, even if I have no intention of ever getting the bike you're riding.

Simply excellent! Thank you so much!

Another Great Clip !!! Bought this last week ,Same ol guy in Colorado, ,still loving this stuff, Also got the 2024 Gsx8 r after watching your vine, Keep em coming ,or better yet,Stop!!! Im gonna run out of money after seeing your clips :)

I have this exact bike and it’s been so far great. Enough power in the city and highway and added a Leo Vince slip on and it sounds great! Forgiving as well. For me it’s the perfect size and power for where I am currently in my motorcycle journey.

@@superleggenda In China the price of 450SR is way cheaper than Ninja400 and CBR400R, which makes it a bargain, but questionable reliability since it just came out for just a few years. (And a fun fact, all motorcycle in China are forced to scrapped after 13 years from the day you bought it)

Dear MotoJitsu. I just want to put out there that over the past summer I finally took the step and took the MSF course and acquired my Motorcycle permit. I plan on going to get my license soon. YOU HAVE BEEN A MASSIVE HELP. I have learned so much from you. Anytime I am having difficulty with a specific aspect of riding I come here and always find what I need. You're a fantastic teacher and I know I will be using you has a learning resource for a long time to come. I have had a TU250x for probably 2 months and have put 1,200 miles on it so far. It is a fantastic bike to commute to work on and great for doing half day trips around town. I can do Brown belt pretty easily as of now. I am defiantly wanting something bigger, considering a Ninja 650r, and this, do you have any other suggestions for me? Do you think I may as well spring for the 650. I see myself doing some really road trips in the future, would the 500 be suitable for that? THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!!

Which is better the Cv650 or this bike?

I started with a CR80 dirtbike at 13 years old. Then I went to a YZ125, then a YZ250 by the time I was 16... Then from age 19 until my mid 30's , I owned a CR500. My last dirtbike was my KX500 that I sold last year. Anyway, I just never got around to getting my motorcycle license until last year. I took the two day MSF Course, and then bought my first motorcycle... A very rare in the US, 2008 Suzuki GSX650F that weighs 532 pounds wet. It has an 85 HP / 45 LB-FT, 656cc Inline-4 with a 6-speed manual. I had absolutely no problem with the weight. In fact, everything I've ridden since has felt light and so easy to ride. Well, one year and 9,000 and change miles later... No issues whatsoever! I never dropped my bike, knock on wood. I even ran an 11.844 @ 111.35 in the 1/4 mile on my first and only run during a busy summer day at the strip...I beat Cycle World's time of 11.94 @ 110.1 with their '08 GSX650F at the time. It's no 10 second sport bike obviously, but I hit 0-60 in 3.5 seconds with this bike, and it feels faster than my KX500 at all speeds, especially the faster you go. It has good power for a first m/c... Not sure if there's an advantage to owning a heavy first motorcycle? I truly believe it helped me learn to adapt quicker. My dirtbike experience definitely helped as well. Anyway, sorry for the long comment. I always enjoy your videos man! 👍

I forgot to mention... I'm easily flat-footed with my knees even slightly bent on my GSX650F. The seat height is 30.1 inches. I'm 5'10" 185 pounds with pretty long legs with my 33 & 1/4 inch inseam. I wonder if there are any stock bikes that would have me on my tiptoes with my weight & 33+" inseam? So far, I've been flat-footed on every motorcycle I've sat on.

Thank you for doing this review!! You officially sold me on this bike and will be getting one!! I was debating between this and the CBR650R but you showed me this one will work just great for what I like! THANK YOU AGAIN!!

Nice review. Really cool looking motorcycle here. The 2024 Ninja 500 is close competition and for the base model, close to 2 grand less expensive from what I saw on their websites.

Currently on a Suzuki Tu250x, had it about a month and have done a bit over 1,000 miles so far. Considering this as my upgrade, plan to keep the TUX but it's very unhappy over 60 MPH

After having ridden so many bikes, which bike above 75-80bhp do you think compares to the seating position of this 500r? I liked the position but its a bit too weak of a bike for my use

It's quite heavy though at 423lbs/191kg for a 500cc twin cylinder 180 degree crank. Although, it has very good fuel consumption & safe speed, not aggressive at all, and not as torqy as the 270 degree crank found in the 450S & R7

My Brother bought a first generation one when he was 18 in 2013 as his first bike and has put 23’000 km on it. We live an hour east of Toronto Ontario Canada and he has had no complaints of lack of power and handling has been enjoyable. He has done multiple 5-6 hour rides in a single day with minimal comfort complaints. Given it’s larger weight and tire size when compared to 300cc class bikes it feels more grown up but with only marginal increase in power and torque still seems manageable to the new rider.

Such a shame we don't get this colorway in Europe. We just have ist in black and that ugly red and blue.

Disagree. KTM doesn’t have the same quality/reliability as Honda, is much less comfortable, and (imo) doesn’t look nearly as good. As an owner of a 2020 cbr500r, think of it more like a mini sport tourer. It’s a fantastic daily driver that has easily enough power for normal riding conditions, has fantastic fuel economy, and comfortable ergonomics.
