I've read conflicting things. Some say 2009 is the last year for the 500, others say 2010. But either way, it's definitely near the end.
Means I better buy up all the aftermarket parts I want now, before they're discontinued!
To be honest, I never understood why the Ninja 250, 500, and 650 were different bikes. If I were Kawasaki, I'd put the different engines in the same frame. Maybe with upgraded but bolt-compatible brakes and suspension. I must be spoiled by Volkswagen's Lego-like part swappability, even across different generations of models.
