2025 Kawasaki Z500 SE ABS

The 2025 Z500 SE ABS is a naked street bike for riders who want a light, upright middleweight that is easy to manage in town and fun on back roads. Its 451cc DOHC parallel twin makes 51.0 hp at 10,000 rpm and 31.7 lb-ft at 7,500 rpm, fed by DFI with dual 32mm throttle bodies. A 6-speed gearbox works with an Assist & Slipper Clutch, which lightens the lever pull and calms the rear tire on hard downshifts. ABS covers the 310mm semi-floating front disc and the 220mm rear. Seat height is 30.9 inches, curb weight is 370.4 lb, and ERGO-FIT lets you change contact points to fit your build. The SE brings special color and graphics, all-LED lighting, a full-color TFT dash that links to RIDEOLOGY THE APP, and a USB-C outlet.
