Vehicle Information
Kawasaki Z500 Motorcycle - Street (2025-2026)
The Kawasaki Z500, available for the 2025 and 2026 model years, is a dynamic streetfighter motorcycle that evolves from the popular Z400. It features a new, larger 451cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke parallel-twin engine, delivering approximately 51 horsepower. This model was introduced in 2025, marking a significant update from its predecessor with increased displacement achieved through a longer stroke. For 2026, the Z500 is largely a carryover from the 2025 model. The mechanical components, including the engine, chassis, brakes, and suspension, remain unchanged. Updates for 2026 are primarily cosmetic, focusing on new color schemes for both the standard and SE versions. The Z500 is offered in two main trims: the Z500 ABS, which is the standard model with an LCD instrument panel and smartphone connectivity, and the Z500 SE ABS (Special Edition), which adds premium features like a full-color TFT display, special graphics, frame sliders, and a USB-C outlet.
