Was poking around out local Honda/kawasaki dealer today and found a non current 2005 EX500 Ninja, only has 2 KMs on it. Was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this bike, I had a sit on it and found it quite comfortable riding position wise. Is this a good bike for a still fairly novice rider?

also, they want $7000 Canadian for it, good price?

i personally think that is a good bike to ride on, especially if you've already been riding. 7000 candadian, so that around 1000 us dollars?

j/k, its about 5500 or so right? I think you could probably get it cheaper , at least in my area.

Good bike, for anyone who is into light and flickable or as a learning tool.

But you can but a brand new one in Calgary for $5600. There ain't engough extras in the world to justify 7 grand, unless it comes with a extra bike.....

I'm gonna second this.

I'd ask what carot gold the wheels were plated with. And what grade of diamond they used to make the headlight glass.
