2002 Kawasaki EX500 review from United States of America
"I'll never sell it"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing terribly bad has happened so far. Other than the obvious wear and tear.
General comments?
Great starter bike. I love it. It handles great and I can keep up with the big dawgs. It's much lighter now that I eliminated both exhausts and replaced them with one exhaust.
Best bike I've ever ridden!
