Kawasaki 500 GPZ 2004

Menus

Present in the Kawasaki range since the end of the 80s, the 500 GPZ has seen few changes during its career, without falling into oblivion or disinterestedness. Originally appeared without a shoe and with a single brake disc, these options will be an integral part of the machine from 88.

This is paid for by a character perhaps a little too sharp, especially as the engine lacks flexibility at low speed. This is not really penalizing because this 500 is steeped in qualities. First, its look, almost timeless, which makes it a pretty and welcoming machine. Indeed, it is: comfortable, it allows you to cut the road while being playful. A budding athlete, it benefits from an agile part-cycle that invites sport. The bike is easy to take, light, handling serene while maintaining good liveliness, ideal for having fun in the mountains.

Overall the GPZ is a great little machine, playful, versatile, economical and reliable..
