Kawasaki Z 500 2024

Kawasaki Z 500 2024

With 52 cubic metres more displacement, the new Z500 does not appear to be a ground-breaking development compared to its predecessor, the Z400, but the increase in torque actually makes for a much more confident and mature appearance. The handling remains extremely playful thanks to the low weight and narrower tyres, while the ergonomics are what you would expect from an easy-going A2 naked bike. The suspension surprises with a really successful compromise between sport and comfort for all weight classes. The unagitated brakes, the smooth clutch and the easy manoeuvring make it clear that the new Z500 is aimed at all newcomers. However, the better and more modern equipped Z500 SE does not cost much more than the standard Z500.

The Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is a successful bike in a competitive price segment. The latest addition from the green brand offers easy handling and riding pleasure at an attractive price. Beginners, returning riders and smart bikers will all enjoy this urban cruiser. In my opinion, the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 could achieve cult status.

Handling, despite low ground clearance, an attack the twisties

Engine, good torque
