02 Kawasaki Z500 — New, Larger Displacement Engine

New, Larger Displacement Engine

Smooth, powerful acceleration is available with a twist of the wrist from a new 451 cm3 engine. The acceleration feels brisk thanks to plenty of power in the low- to mid-rpm range, and, when the throttle stays on, enough power in the high-rpm range to hit higher speeds with ease. With well-balanced power output and strong acceleration throughout the rev range, the combination of this engine with a lightweight chassis makes the machine well-suited to a wide variety of riding situations including

03 Kawasaki Z500 — Latest-Design Z “Face”

Latest-Design Z “Face”

The Z500’s “face” is based around a newly designed triple headlight unit, enveloped by a sharp front cowl to give it an intense look.

05 Kawasaki Z500 — Lightweight, Advantage Manoeuvrable Chassis

Lightweight, Advantage Manoeuvrable Chassis

Easy to use is the key, as the compact chassis has been designed to be as user-friendly as possible. Predictable handling thanks to a chassis conceived with light weight, manoeuvrability, and mass centralisation in mind provides excellent feel and inspiring confidence for a wide range of riders. The easy handling also facilitates manoeuvring when parking.

06 Kawasaki Z500 — Assist & Slipper Clutch

Assist & Slipper Clutch

Kawasaki’s Assist & Slipper Clutch results in a light clutch pull for even more rider-friendly and manageable riding in everyday situations, and reduced skipping and hopping from the rear for better sport riding and added confidence.

07 Kawasaki Z500 — Confidence-Inspiring Reach to the Ground

Confidence-Inspiring Reach to the Ground

While seat height is 785 mm, the slim design of both the seat and the rear of the engine gives riders an unobstructed line for their feet to reach the ground. The seat’s flat shape offers ample padding in the front portion without sacrificing the comfortable reach to the ground, which helps riders enjoy the bike with confidence.

08 Kawasaki Z500 — High-Class, Intense Design

High-Class, Intense Design

No matter from what angle the Z500 is seen, its triple headlight centred front face and aggressive lines make it clear that this is a member of the Z family, with aggressive Supernaked looks and ample street presence.
