Intense Supernaked Design
Ready to pounce!
The new Kawasaki Z500 has a sharp, aggressive style and retains the large-volume design of other bikes in the Z series to create an aggressive, agile, street-oriented look. Its muscular, athletic bodywork reflects its performance while forming a flowing design that appears to float above the engine. Like other models in the Z Series, sugomi design elements (crouching stance, lowpositioned head and upswept tail) give it a silhouette instantly recognisable as a Kawasaki Supernaked.
24 Months Warranty Plus is included during 2025, giving you a total of 4 years Manufacturer Warranty!
Smooth, powerful acceleration is available on the Kawasaki Z500 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 everyday riding.
Relaxed rider triangle accommodates a wide range of rider sizes and riding situations, contributing to its riderfriendly character. The relatively upright riding position and wide handlebar put the rider in the ideal position for active control, facilitating dynamic, sporty riding.
No matter from what angle the Kawasaki Z500 is seen, its triple headlightcentred 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.
Available in two versions. The Kawasaki Z500 Standard and Kawasaki Z500 SE....The SE version comes with TFT full colour dash and a bellypan.

Unmistakable heartbeat
Legendary Kawasaki twin cylinder engine.
Ample power from the 451 cm3 engine is available through the entire rpm range to make it easy for riders to use, no matter what kind of riding they are doing, from low-end power for accelerating off the line in the city to top-end revs for riding on the highway. The engine in the new Z500 is up the task, no matter what it may be.
Aggressive bodywork
Sugomi inspired
The new Kawasaki Z500 combines the sharp, aggressive style of the Z650 with the large-volume design of the Z300 to create an aggressive, agile, masculine impression. Its muscular, athletic bodywork reflects the increased performance while forming a flowing design that appears to float above the engine. Like other models in the Z Series, sugomi design elements (crouching stance, low-positioned head and upswept tail) give it a silhouette instantly recognisable as a Kawasaki Supernaked.
Assist & Slipper Clutch
Light feeling lever
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.
LCD or TFT
The choice is yours
Both the full LCD instrument panel on the standard models and the TFT display on the SE models offer smartphone connectivity, enabling riders to connect with their machines to enjoy display notifications, riding logs, and community features.
Other than the different dash, the SE version of the Kawasaki Z500 also comes with a bellypan as standard.
Trellis frame
Dynamic rigidity
The chassis has a supersport-style short-wheelbase/longswingarm design, complemented by an optimised trail setting that delivers light, natural handling. The bike’s light weight also contributes to the easy handling and facilitates manoeuvring when off the bike, such as when parking.
Featuring a trellis frame similar in design to that of the Ninja H2. Kawasaki’s advanced dynamic rigidity analysis was used to ensure optimum rigidity with light weight. The engine is rigid-mounted and used as a stressed member. The frame design contributes significantly to the bike’s low curb mass.
Low Seat Height
Narrow Waist
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.
