2006 Kawasaki EX500 review from United States of America
"A good bike - lots of power, good cornering. Good value"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
None, this is a new bike, and I've not had any issues.
General comments?
The seat is hard and uncomfortable after an hour of riding... cornering is good - acceleration is strong - position for driving could made more comfortable by raising the handle bars a hair. I find I lean forward to the point of being uncomfortable.
