All eyes are on you when riding the all-new Z500 supernaked. With distinctive bodywork and a powerful 451 cc engine, this aggressively styled streetfighter is for those who are not afraid to be seen. The Z500 provides the ideal platform for a wide range of riders to put their true colours on display.

- Learner-approved model (LAMS)

The 451cc engine of the Z500 provides ample power across the entire rpm range, making it effortless for riders to use regardless of the type of riding they do. Whether it's low-end power for accelerating in the city or top-end revs for highway riding, the engine is up to the task.
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.
The Z500 has a trellis frame, similar to the Ninja H2, designed using Kawasaki's advanced dynamic rigidity analysis for optimum rigidity and light weight. The engine is rigid-mounted and used as a stressed member, contributing to the bike's low curb mass.
The bike has a supersport-style design with a short-wheelbase/long-swingarm and an optimized trail setting. Its light weight makes it easy to handle and maneuver both on and off the bike.
Measuring ø310 mm (the same disc size used on the Z1000), the Z500’s semi-floating front disc offers sure stopping power. ABS offers added reassurance when riding.
The seat height is 785mm, but the slim design of the seat and engine allows for an unobstructed line for feet to reach the ground. The flat seat has ample padding in the front, while still allowing for a comfortable reach to the ground.
The upright riding position and wide handlebar of the relaxed rider triangle allow for active control, facilitating dynamic, sporty riding for riders of various sizes and situations.
The Z500's front design is based on a triple LED headlight unit with an intense look. It features two upper headlights as low beams and a single lower headlight as high beams, focusing on the two low beam headlights while delivering excellent lighting performance.
The new Z500 has a sharp, aggressive style with a large-volume design. Its athletic bodywork reflects its performance, and sugomi design elements give it a silhouette instantly recognisable as a Kawasaki Supernaked.
The Z500 has a high-contrast full LCD instrument panel with a bar-style tachometer, speedometer, and smartphone connectivity for display notifications, riding logs, and community features.
