Kawasaki Z 500 SE 2025

The Kawasaki Z500 SE is an impressive naked bike that impresses with its powerful two-cylinder engine and sporty suspension. Although the seating position for taller riders and the limited electronic Advanced Rider Assistance Systems have been criticised, the Z500 offers a sporty and fun riding experience. The smooth transmission and soft clutch contribute significantly to the riding pleasure. Overall, the Z500 is an excellent bike for those looking for an agile naked bike that stands out in its class. Finally a bike that is lightweight but doesn't look cheap and puny. Really cool!

Engine appears sufficiently dimensioned and really grown-up

Playful handling

Pleasant ergonomics for smaller riders

Balanced and firm suspension

Smooth clutch

Good stability and precise feedback

Good power in all rev ranges

Buttery smooth clutch and gearstick

Uncomfortable seating position for taller riders

Annoying vibrations from 4000 rpm - audible plastic parts reduce the feeling of value

Brakes are less sporty than the engine - be careful on long and sporty passages

Conservative ABS that intervenes too early

Display difficult to adjust - you always have to take your hand off the handlebars to fiddle with the display

Tight suspension can be uncomfortable on longer journeys

No traction control
