It's advertised as a 1996 EX500 / ninja that got repainted.. Now tell me, what's wrong ?

It's for sale for 2000$ and 44 000 km

Well first of all it's not a '96!

 

[2001ex500]

Yup, two peice side panels, old style wheels - Gen 1

 

[Dextrose]

maybe its just me but the tail looks a little wierd

 

[bhd1223]

OK. Since no reply was posted at this time I'm going to make a guess. First off it doesn't look like gen 2 to me. I'd go with it's a gen1.

What side is that front disk on???

 

[Sven Hoek]

Where are the air ducts in the upper front fairing...why is the screen mounted to the outside of the fairing...16" wheels...and the list goes on and on!

The seller should be ashamed!

Oh yeah, on my 1st gen, the side panels are flat, the ones on this ride seem to be 2nd gen side panels cut down to fit a 1st gen...

The red on the tank (which I suspect is stock) doesn't match the rest of the bike either..

Yeah, a drum on a 96 ?! and the front disc is on the same side as a 1st gen...

The thing that I'm not sure about is if the mirrors are stock.. There's rash on them though...

I would like to see pics of the gray bike back there.

Is it just me or the front fairing seems to be made of a part of an ex-500 (lower part, where ninja is written) and a part of a ZX-11 or something (the top) ???

 

[Frog]

Oh yeah, a guy I'm working with wanted to get this bike.. I asked him to get the vin #...

 

[Klink]

I like the windshield that appears like it was left on when the front fairing was sprayed red.

 

[Frog]

It looks like its fiberglass.. The inside is white ???

Everything on that bike is 1st gen stuff. I'd say the side panels are just a matter of the lighting accenting it - 2nd gen bikes don't have the plastic ears that cover the passenger peg mounts.

Nah, I just sit in the garage a lot staring at my bike .

Me too. It's the only thing to do with this crummy weather the Northeast is getting right now! Don't get me wrong, I ride in the rain and cold plenty, but going to meet clients wearing sopping wet clothes doesn't usually present well...

 

[D1g1TaL Gh0sT]

Uh, yea. Sure it is!

CLEARLY not a Gen 2.

If that's on eBay report it immediately, if you haven't already.
