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.

Engine with more stroke provides more torque and thus appears much more mature

The Honda Rebel 1100 is a very fun, easy to ride, agile and powerful cruiser motorbike that will probably find many friends - whether rookie or old hand. My personal highlights are the ingenious engine, the electronic equipment and the low weight in combination with the low price compared to the competition. A successful Japanese cruiser!
