Vehicle Information
Kawasaki KZ550 Motorcycle - Street (1980-1983)
The Kawasaki KZ550 series, produced from 1980 to 1983, was a popular air-cooled, 553cc, DOHC, in-line four-cylinder motorcycle. It offered a consistent engine displacement across its various trims, providing different levels of performance and styling to riders. This range included standard, cruiser-styled LTD, and sportier GPz models. Throughout its production, the KZ550 saw significant evolution. The 1981 model year introduced the high-performance GPz550, featuring higher compression and more aggressive camshafts for enhanced power. In 1982, the GPz550 further improved with a monoshock rear suspension. The final year, 1983, expanded the lineup with new trims like the aesthetically distinct Spectre and the shaft-driven LTD, offering more choices in styling and drivetrain.
