The 2026 U.S. Kawasaki Ninja 500 makes 51.0 hp at 10,000 rpm and 31.7 lb-ft of torque at 7,500 rpm, according to Kawasaki. Kawasaki does not list an official top-speed figure on its current U.S. specification page, so there is no manufacturer-published mph number to quote.
How much horsepower does the Kawasaki Ninja 500 have?
Kawasaki lists the 2026 U.S. Ninja 500 at 51.0 hp at 10,000 rpm, with peak torque of 31.7 lb-ft at 7,500 rpm. Those are manufacturer specifications for the U.S. model, not independently measured rear-wheel figures. Kawasaki’s 2026 Ninja 500 specifications identify the engine as a 451 cc, liquid-cooled, four-stroke DOHC parallel twin.
How to read Kawasaki’s horsepower figure
Kawasaki measures the published horsepower under ISO 4106 and cautions that the result may differ from an SAE-standard measurement. Its specification sheet explains: “This vehicle’s HP was measured according to ISO standard 4106. This ISO standard measures HP differently than the SAE standards by which the horsepower of many cars is measured, and as a result the referenced HP measurement may be higher than if it were measured by an SAE standard.” Kawasaki’s specification sheet provides that qualification. For a fair comparison, check the measurement standard as well as the model year and market.
What is the Ninja 500’s top speed?
Kawasaki does not publish a top-speed figure on the reviewed current U.S. specification page. That means an exact mph claim should not be presented as an official Kawasaki specification.

Unofficial top-speed reports are not interchangeable: results can depend on the market-specific bike, whether it is stock, the rider and riding position, conditions, and whether the reading comes from a GPS device or the motorcycle’s speedometer. The available 2024 sources do not establish one reliable, repeatable speed for all Ninja 500s. Cycle News’ ride report does not provide a top-speed measurement, while a MotoSnax creator video describes a top-speed attempt on a European 45 hp version; neither supplies a controlled result applicable to every market. Cycle News’ 2024 road test and MotoSnax’s 2024 video description should be understood in that context.

Kawasaki lists a six-speed transmission and sealed-chain final drive, along with a 30.9-inch seat height and 3.7-gallon fuel capacity.
