Motorcycle specifications Kawasaki500 GPZ 2005 Playing with me

Sport touring

a fixture in the Kawasaki range since the late '80s, the 500 GPZ has undergone few changes during its career, but has never been forgotten or neglected. Initially appearing without a brake shoe and with a single brake disc, these options became an integral part of the machine from '88 onwards. In '94, the date of the last modifications, the rear drum was replaced by a disc, the wheels went up to 17 inches and the bodywork was revised. Since then, the GPZ has changed only in color. A genuine little sport-GT, this 500 benefits from a typically Kawa twin-cylinder engine, which is racy, particularly happy in the revs, and enhanced by good extension.

This comes at the price of a character that's perhaps a little too sharp, especially as the engine lacks suppleness at low revs. But that's no real disadvantage, as this 500 is brimming with qualities. First and foremost, its almost timeless looks make it a handsome and welcoming machine. Indeed, it is: comfortable, it allows you to carve up the road, while still being playful. A budding sportswoman, it boasts an agile chassis that's an invitation to sport. The bike is light and easy to ride, with a serene yet lively handling that's ideal for fun in the mountains. It's when you're riding it with gusto that you notice the relative weakness of its braking, which is in fact a little overwhelmed by the performance of this little sports bike. All in all, the GPZ is an excellent little machine: playful, versatile, economical and reliable. 2005 will be its last year on the European market, but its career continues on the other side of the Atlantic. Renamed the Ninja 500 R in the land of Uncle Sam, the little Kawa will continue to delight Americans for some years to come.

French Rene Model 1998
I have nothing but praise for this little bike, and my son and I tried out both versions, first me, then him. A convincing motorcycle at all levels, provided you like small, light and easy bikes. I've also had the gse500, the only complaint being the poor rear shock absorber and perhaps a lesser finish than the gpz and the old cb500 we've also had, a quality bike too, but one that consumes a hair too much fuel. No, the Gpz ticks a lot of boxes in terms of overall reliability, only the duo should be considered with a light sms, as it's likely to rub in corners otherwise... we've had 3 of them in all, and I'll never get tired of them, so delightful is their character and their proven versatility over short or long distances. Yet I've had dozens of bikes of all powers and displacements. It remains my favorite for its ease of use, a 39-liter top case and that's enough to keep you happy. Rating : 5/5
French dede Model 1998
superb bike, a little heavy to move. Rating : 5/5
French Oléa Model 1996
Powerful enough and pleasant sounding, without untimely vibrations, playful and with real meters like no other... The brakes are soft, but there's no ABS, the mirrors are too short, you can see your elbows, and there's no fuel gauge. For 1M70, the height between the footrests and the seat is too short, making it uncomfortable on long trips, which is a shame. Personally, I love the way it handles and its two-cylinder design. NINJA! Rating : 4/5
French Mumugpz Model 2001
I got my big cubes license when I was 30, and started with my ex's 1100 gpzx (injection). I was a flag waver! guaranteed adrenaline and I love speed. the problem is when you're 1.57m tall and you have to stop...so I decided to buy a bike in my size, and since I've always loved kawas (I was born on them) I found a pearly pink '89 500. We rode it a long time together! then it started to wobble in reserve, after taking corners or overtaking, it would stop and go again 2 minutes later.imagine the shame! I found another one abandoned in a barn by a farmer who confessed to me that he had "bought it for pêcho"... he had fallen off several times, had glued the mirrors back on with Scotch and Scotch glue, and the mufflers couldn't take it anymore!so I saved it, and someone bumped into me! right on cue, it was rebuilt and I must admit I fell in love with it when we met again! Since then, it's been rebuilt because someone bumped into me. This bike has all the makings of a big one, consumes 4l with 2 on it, and doesn't like being underpowered at all (like me)! I'll never part with it, especially as it's been lowered so that I can touch the ground. Rating : 5/5
French Stan Model 1998
I bought it to go to work in the summer (there are a lot of tourists in my region), and was impressed by its handling, good roadholding and fuel economy. Its only drawback is the braking (when you want to attack, you have to work hard to get the bite). But as far as I'm concerned, I ride relatively cool, and it's perfect. Great fuel consumption, great braking, great handling and you can just roll right along, no questions asked. Recommended for beginners (with bridle) and for cheap, cool riding. Rating : 5/5
French motolex Model 1998
i'm thinking of buying a 1987 500GPZ, but according to the seller, it hasn't been driven for 6 months! moreover, it sleeps outside, so what should I check visually, with a discharged battery, a small shock on the clutch housing side, a kc brake lever and a locked rear wheel?
if I'm not mistaken, you have to press the brake lever to start it?
advice welcome
thank you Rating : 1/5
French Model 2005
This bike is a phenomenon; it's the bike I've owned for the longest time as a 1st or 2nd motorcycle, starting with the Kle road trail version, which introduced me to this absolutely friendly, high-performance engine for the 1st time. Then there was the 1st generation Gpz500s, 1990 model, which already had a lot of mileage and for which I fell in love. Finally, the latest generation, 2001, which I had bridled last year so that my son could use it. Even in this form, the engine is nicer than a lot of other bridled engines. The uniqueness of this bike is that it has so many qualities for such a small displacement. In concrete terms, this means that if you want to commute, travel alone or with a friend, or ride for sport, well, it can do it, and in a good way too! A kind of Swiss Army knife or miracle motorcycle, with the pleasure of every turn on the handlebars to boot. The engine is relatively smooth, thanks to its twin-cylinder design and small displacement, with good low-end and mid-range torque, and downright powerful at higher revs (in unbraked configuration). Reliability is good up to advanced mileage. Equipped with a high bubble, this is a real comfortable Sport Gt capable of fast cruising (yes!) on the freeway without tiring the engine (remarkable for this displacement), and a very good pace on twisty roads and big curves thanks to its great agility and stability. However, the ground clearance is too low for two-up riding. And the icing on the cake is that it's super economical! Higher costs don't start until around 60,000kms. I particularly recommend it, old or new generation, as long as they've been well cared for. As accessories, ours is fitted with ixil pots that give it a nice look and a nice sound. Rating : 5/5

French rene Model 2001
Almost everything has been said in this good summary, except for the braking, which I find sufficient, with a double disc at the front and a disc at the rear stopping this light and low machine without any problem. More successful than its only direct competitor, the honda cb, which vibrates too much at the revs, the little kawa - but great in terms of performance - is the bike I've had the longest (2gpz, including a first-generation 1990 and a second-generation 2001 that I still have and still enjoy riding). Its only real drawback is its low ground clearance, especially for two people. As for the rest, it's a joy to handle from a standstill and to warm up quickly, to use in town, on the road and on the freeway for long journeys with a high bubble. It always starts up at the drop of a hat, the engine revs and revs with life, the torque is well present at low revs, the flexibility not bad (it's a twin-cylinder), the reliability good up to advanced mileage. Whatever the speed, it's always there, and the wide rev range, combined with the low displacement, means you can do whatever you like, and always be efficient. An amazing machine, as versatile as a 750cm3 (the good zr7, for example), at least solo. If you ride solo most of the time, and your routes are varied (half city/countryside), with occasional long trips (during the vacations...) and a few sporty episodes, this is the machine for you. You'll be amazed at how much you'll enjoy it. Rating : 5/5

i got my motorcycle license in 1995.at the time i was looking for a used 500 gpz,impossible to find,so i decided to buy myself a new one which has never left me nor disappointed me since that time.it must be said that i am a Sunday biker and that to date it has less than 30000 km.it's a nervous bike which doesn't balk as soon as you open the throttle.happy anyone who owns one!

GPZ of 1994 it is my first motor bike 80 mkm and frankly top to begin torquey in bottom raging in top (it is typical kawa) light a manageable bike good road holding conso mini 5l/100km accepts a sustained rhythm on freeway misses a little flexibility in city but one gets used to it.revision and not expensive insurance compared to the competition.i measure 1m84 and my size is not awkward it is enough to put a high bubble and that makes it.prudence and good road Rating : 5/5
French Beowulf Model 1998
Happy young owner (20 years old) of a 1988 GPZ 500 S with over 79,000 km on the odometer, I never tire of cruising around like a pig (I've surprised more than one with bigger displacements) This bike is really great, it consumes next to nothing, the most I've done on a full tank before the reserve was 380km, doesn't drink a drop of oil, is really cheap to maintain and costs next to nothing in palms and insurance. To give it a facelift, I put rim strips on it, removed the engine cowl, put a high bubble (very appreciable on the highway and at high speed) and repainted the engine and the scuff line in high-temperature black (matt), all of which really gives it a crazy look. As long as this bike is on the road, I won't part with it, I'm too attached to it

A really good bike to start with, without breaking the bank! Rating : 5/5

Hello biker. I got my license in 98 and since then I ride a Gpz 500 Model 89 60hp, 104 000 km. I'd like to upgrade to a bigger bike but I can't get rid of it, I think it's too good. So I decided to refurbish it a bit, and here I go again
plus: looks, economy. minus: seat, lack of accessories (tuning aspect) even for model after 94, range of tires and dimensions. Bonne route Meep! Meep! Rating : 5/5
French dodothebes Model 1998
After 20 years off the bike, I decided to buy a new one, bought second hand, my '97 GPZ is perfect, and for the past 2 years I've been riding it almost non-stop ON THE FOOT. It's a bike that accepts a lot and forgives your mistakes quite easily.Having got the hang of it, I decided to sell it (I bought a ZZR 1100), but I didn't count on my wife's opinion, which forbids me to do so, for a good reason: she's the one who's going to take over the GPZ, so we'll each have our own. AH, women are tough. So, bikers from all horizons, we wish you a safe journey. Rating : 5/5
French JM#31 Model 1998
i've got a 1996 model with only 24,000 miles on it, all original except for a chrome-plated Ixil twin, and it's in 34 hp since I'm only 19. It's a very versatile bike, with a nice noise, good sensations for a 34 hp (lively climb with a 170 km/h at the bottom of 6th gear! ) low fuel consumption: with a full tank 250 km range in sport riding. The only thing I find a bit old-fashioned is the look, even if the double line gives it a new lease of life...while we wait 21 years and the 600 gsx r! ;-) Rating : 5/5

Super bike, indeed a good compromise that offers quite a lot of sensations, I have to sell mine to my great regret cause departure so if anyone is interested.... Rating : 5/5
French choucas Model 1998
Pleasant, playful and high-performance, it teases out the 200 in neutral conditions, much to our delight. It's a hell of a bike, practically timeless, and ridiculously fuel-efficient, and I often manage (without pulling it too hard, of course) to go over 400 km before putting it on reserve. It's already very comfortable out of the box, but a high bubble is recommended for long trips. The comfort of the riding position (somewhere between sport and GT) is also improved by raising the handlebars by 2 cm. I've never had a problem with the brakes, which are said to be a little short. An entry-level bike that's very much in its element, and doesn't look ridiculous parked alongside larger-displacement bikes.
Rating : 5/5
French Toch Model 1998
I think this bike is great, it's true that the big problem is that it can't handle the city, and you also have to be careful about the set of tires you put on it, because I've had it for 1 month and the dealer put me on the wrong set of tires, and when I'm riding it on small roads it's limited.but otherwise it's very economical in every way and a good learning bike.

French SOFIA Model 1998
Good evening,
I've been driving for 13 years and took my first licence on a 500 gpz in 1991. Since then, I've had bikes ranging from 400 to 900 cm3. In the meantime, I've given birth to my daughter and divorced, so my means are limited. So I've just bought a 500 gpz, and I'm very happy with it. The only hitch, which I don't remember on the older models, is that it chases a lot from the rear. What's more, it doesn't like the city, but I remembered that, but I think it heats up quite a bit all the same. However, it's an excellent bike. My dealer told me I couldn't fit a "Block U" because there was no way, but on the internet, a lot of bikers say there is. I'd like to know where they put it on the bike and if it doesn't bother the passenger too much (the latter being my 8 1/2 year old daughter). Thank you for your advice and reply

Bonne route..

Sofia

French choucas Model 1998
it's indeed an entry-level motorcycle with a lot going for it.
relatively adequate torque and a top speed of up to 210 km/h.
its 60 horsepower are very much in evidence, and you only have to push the first three gears to realize it.
its look is timeless, always pleasing to the eye, yet it's at an advantage in dark colors.
with normal driving, the range can exceed 400 km before reserves, but with sportier driving, you'll have to make do with a "mere" 320 km.
as you can see, as sober as a camel.
comfort is pleasant, even after a 200 km non-stop ride, although a high bubble would make it even better.
it's the most powerful 500 on the GT, custom and trail markets.
good luck and see you soon on the road, who knows ... Rating : 5/5

I took my driving test a few months ago, and the gpz 500 is my first bike. I must say I'm very pleased with it. It rocks hard, with a sporty and playful temperament above 7000 rpm. As they say, it has all the makings of a great bike. Gazzzzzzzz. See you on the asphalt. Rating : 5/5
French portos 69 Model 1998
The GPZ is my first motorcycle. I've had my license for 1 year and the bike too, for economic reasons I turned to a fairly old model (1992 with a drum at the rear) but it works terribly and with my colleague who also bought 1 we hit the mud just right!
The engine lacks a little suppleness and clanks a little when cold, but acceleration is not bad, especially from 6000rpm (and even better with a 2-in-1 all stainless steel homemade!!)
all in all, low fuel consumption, great handling, great for beginners! Rating : 5/5
French jean-marc Model 1998
i'm 55 years old, a former national triallist, i had a h1 for the road 20 years ago, a 750 four, then a 10+ year old motorcycle installation, i took over a GPZ 3 years ago, broke an engine that i completely rebuilt with a 98 part and an 89 part (not without problems)
i've lightened the balance by 120 grams so that it revs up faster and more evenly, reaching the red zone without any problems when needed
since I'm not very tall, it's the ideal size for me and I'm having a lot of fun with it (I also redid the shoe, which scraped a few times)
the next one will be an 1100 gpz that I'm currently rebuilding, too bad they're no longer in the Kawa game
V to all Rating : 5/5
French learsi14 Model 1998
After having ridden larger displacement bikes, I chose the GPZ for budget reasons. In this respect, I have no regrets: the bike is sober and doesn't consume a lot of tires. Mechanically, it's extremely reliable, but I recommend emptying the carburetors before going on vacation. On the road, not bad, but the sound of the original pots is hollow, while the engine just wants to roar above 7,000 rpm. Braking is undeniably the weak point, with a lack of bite and progressiveness. You mustn't be too tall (over 1m78 it's 'small'). All in all, I'm positive and recommend it, but after one year of loyal service and 20,000 km further on, I'm switching back to a bigger one (VFR), just to get out on the road.... Rating : 5/5

500 GPZ? It's my bike, I chose it and I don't regret it. Purchase, maintenance, fuel consumption... in town, on the road, RAS! It's true, I'm still in the little league... but I'm very happy with it. (190 km/h) Rating : 5/5

i'm 21 and I've been riding a 500 GPZ for 3 years. I'm satisfied with the machine. It's great for beginners. I added heated grips and repainted the rims = it's not bad at all (blue and white)... there's still the seat, the brakes and the exhaust and it'll be nice..

I've had my GPZ for 4 months and I'm delighted! Great bike for everything: city (not a lot), road, small roads....It's excellent. I also take 205,210 with a full six speedometer, and acceleration isn't bad either (I just got off a 125 2-stroke). Plus it's very economical.

I really like the GPZ's philosophy: not too expensive to buy and economical with that little "plus" of power and sheet metal that positively sets it apart from the current 500s (ER5, CBF,...) However, I wonder when Kawasaki will decide to give it a slightly more modern or muscular look (size, tires,...)? Honda has worked hard on its CBF, will Kawa follow suit? Rating : 5/5

French Tazdu69 Model 1998
It works very well, and it's no match for the 650 comet (650sv in Korean). It's got the look of a sports bike, it's great to ride and is perfect for beginners (like me...) @+ on the road in 500 GPZs Rating : 5/5
French br64 Model 1998
it's a great bike the only problem is to find a 34 hp bridabe it's only the models after 1995. it's top i went to the bol d'or with a 2 on it and load from the city of Pau we did 1450 km with no problem. but now i find it a little low in power and i'm going to move to the Z 750 which is even better. Long live the GPZ Rating : 5/5

French jul kawa Model 1998
salut ca fait plus d'un an ke mine et j'ai 15000 km avec. ya pas elle est vraiment nikel pour la route, le sport (quelquefois),et elle marche vraiment très bien:170 compteur en 34cv!!!! elle a maintenant 35500km et pas un probleme!!! complaints: comfort over long distances (over 50 km) and seat height (although I'm only 1.73 m tall): you need a comfort seat! and the braking is a little too powerful and not very progressive: it's brutal!!!!! I recommend it for guys who are just starting out and want a lively bike that's pretty well equipped for the road @+ Rating : 5/5
French ct13 Model 1998
this 500 is ideal because you can get the most out of it. i've been using it every day for the home/work commute, i.e. 30 kms a day for the past two years + weekend rides. bought new, i've had no problems whatsoever. a word of advice: go for a high bubble and modify the seat to make it more comfortable by increasing the height for taller riders (a happy medium that can be found between aesthetics and efficiency)

Next: the ideal solution would be for Kawa to keep the same displacement but adapt fuel injection, a two-piece comfort seat, side passenger grips (like the current zr7) + dual optics. it's not complicated. Rating : 5/5

French denis le b Model 1998
the 500 gpz isn't a fighter jet, but it's the ideal compromise for a beginner, almost looks like a sports bike, and it's super-lightweight. Fuel consumption nikel 6L/100 Fast revisions Top speed better than any other 500 (190 km/h for me) And frankly, with only 60 hp, it makes you want to go bigger. For beginners, this is the bike for you Rating : 5/5
