If we keep a list of other sites w/ info on the Ninja 500 we widen our contacts, & can share this site with them.

Here's one I found...

www.kawiforums.com

im always lookin for more info and stuff amongst fellow owners

http://www.kawasakimotorcycle.org/forum/index.php

Small section devoted to streetbike/sportbike, and with only one thread devoted to ex500's. Good userbase and a few ex owners though. The rest of the sites I've found have all dropped off the 'net in the last month. ???

This is where a lot of other EX500riders went, and where I went before finding this site. I'm all for spreading the news, having an EX specific website is great, rather than a subforum in which we're huddled into.

I agree with having our own forum. It's much better. I also like the freedome to post links to other web sites or just say what you want to say without being cesored, within reason.

When a link to this site was posted on the DIY site it was imeadiately erased by the moderator. That and a few other things made me give that site the middle finger and come here.

To me, this is the offical site of the EX500 and the true successor to EX500riders.com .


MODERATORS EDIT - THIS LINK WAS EDITED BECAUSE IT CONTAINED CONTENT FROM Super Sneaky Steve. HE'S A BIT SHIFTY AND HAS BEEN KNOWN TO POST LINKS ON OTHER SITES. /Royson

Well said (and thanks!). Very true about links being deleted on other sites... one of the above kawi forums deleted a link to us too, so my first thought was to return the favor. But we don't want to be like that

Yeah, I know which one you guys mean....and had reservations at first about posting, but there are a bunch of other members over there too from the original board. Perhaps we should send in a recruitement spy. lol.

If anyone is on "brother" sites (ex-cousin?) and finds some good ideas, references, or hotlinks (not the sausage), then I bet a lot of folks here would benefit from sharing the knowledge. Eh?

WTF? Why would they do this? Is there any legitimate reason? If not, how very very disappointing and sad.

Maybe we should all become spies eh? Multiple usernames for each one of us. And keep referring to this site. Keep the mods "over there" busy.

I think some guys are just dix when you give them a little bit of power. That and it may come down to money. They don't want members going to other sites because they would lose out on the advertising dollars.

Anyway, here's a good site with reviews of the five hundee and any other bike you might be interested in. It helped me choose my bike.

I think you guys should write a review to help other potential buyers. I did my 18,000 mile review early this year.

 

[knightslugger]

It's considered Free Advertising guys. If venders are paying the admin a fee for advertising on their site, then along comes a thread advertising something without paying... that's not very fair to the venders, is it?

I agree with the forum on this one.

Maybe I'll write one up. I guess if I can write and take photo's for a living, I can write a motorcycle review too eh?
