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. In 94, date of the last modifications, the rear drum was replaced by a disc, the wheels changed to 17 inches and the trim was revised. Since then, the GPZ has changed only in its colors. A real little sport-GT, this 500 benefits from a typical Kawasaki twin cylinder, namely angry, particularly happy in the laps, and enhanced by a beautiful extension..

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. It is by driving it with enthusiasm that we realize the relative weakness of its braking, in fact a little overwhelmed by the performance of this little sportswoman. Overall the GPZ is a great little machine, playful, versatile, economical and reliable..
