I don't really understand why? In fact I don't understand why anyone would pick a CBR 500 over a Ninja 300, especially as a starter bike. The CBR500 will slot between the Ninja 300 and Ninja 650 in price. If all you wanted was more power, why not spend a little extra money and get a properly exciting sporty bike like the Ninja 650. If you just want to learn, a Ninja 300 is a much better platform to learn on then a bike which is heavier and more expensive and not much faster. If you want to race, both the Ninja 300 and CBR 500 are horrible choices, as there is no 300 or 500 racing class - you are better off on a used Ninja 250 or a supersport 600.
