The "SE" model includes a host of accessories such as frame sliders, rear seat cowl, and the most notable being the full-color TFT dash. Follow along with Jen Dunstan as she tells you what you need to know and what it's like to ride.

I would be interested in seeing a head-to-head comparison between the Z500 and the CB500F.
Excellent .... Great videology, content, editing and length. Always enjoyed watching your reviews 😊
do you think z400 frame slider or engine cage would fit z500 as well?
My next bike!
Jen, are you leaving Revzilla??
good review thank you
Nice looking bike and good review.
love my z500. plenty fast and still has some juice after 90 mph on the highway. Mirrors are super vibey at speeds above 65 mph. foot touches the exhaust, not really a bother after a few weeks on it. I'm only getting about 54 mpg with mixed city and highway. I still think that price to bike ratio is near unbeatable. I hear the chinese bikes outperform but I don't trust the longevity of those engines. Kawasaki's are nigh bulletproof.
I wish I was 5'3" to fit these bikes .
for city riding the Z series is great. I had a ZR750 in Chicago. Great agile bike. For highway event eh 750cc felt small
Lololol 750 is fine for the freeway. It makes way more power than a Harley. It just doesn't have the weight or physical size to be comfortable. The engine is just fine
Inscrito Novo Canal. Sucesso.. 👏🏼👏🏼🙂
Should’ve had that 270 crank. The Chinese are ABSOLUTELY showing everyone up. It’s a shame because I hate supporting Chinese businesses, but CFmoto is doing it right. I hope Yamaha updates the r3/mt03 series with the 399cc 270 crank. The CFmoto 450ss has the perfect tone. Sounds like a bigger bike but it’s not.
270’s are just a trade off to 180’s. Sure they sound cooler but they tend to be heavier. Neither is better than the other. I’d rather Kawi use their bulletproof 180 rather than try and quickly produce a 270. Those cfmoto and moto morini have good value but there is really no telling how reliable they will be. I’ve also heard of a ton of people having issues getting them serviced. A lot of shops won’t touch them because they are “just Chinese bikes”. I’ve also heard their TFT dash’s haven’t been holding up very well.
@@Bluelights17 I lost brain cells reading this. Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki already use the 270° on their bikes ! Yamaha has been doing so for years. Your criticism about complexity, reliability and weight are totally crap.
@@burnttoast9890 the reliability I spoke of is about cfmoto not 270 crank motors. You need to read again. And 270’s do add a bit of weight (needs more counter balance), there is a reason Yamaha doesn’t use it in the MT-03 or R3, Honda doesn’t use it in the cb500’s or 300’s or many of their small displacement bikes. 270 cranks don’t really make sense in smaller displacement bikes.
You definitely lost brain cells, but that’s not my causing.
Just because one motorcycle reviewer says that 270 cranks sound better, everybody has to follow him like a sheep. I restored a 78 Honda hawk with 30,000 miles on it. Let’s see if the Chinese know how to say.” rock solid, reliable.”
@@karlfonner7589 all 270° crank parallel twins sound better than 180° parallel twin , being a contrarian just for the sake of it is not too bright of an idea
I always feel like "reviews" from this channel are more of a 6 minute commercial. It doesn't feel honest.. idk
YES! THIS!!!! The state of motorcycle journalism is a disgrace...nothing but paid sponsorships... Ryan F9 made a great video about this...
There's really no difference other than slight looks motorcyclist journalist nowadays love to make something out of nothing especially when everyone is getting paid to say good things or to get access to early access content
The engine is 13% bigger and it makes a lot more torque in the midrange and you say "really no difference." You're dumb.
Its for entertainment purpose :D in the end, you go to the store and look it up yourself, only a softhead take this things seriously
@@mannyechaluce3814 not sure why you have to show the world your “intelligence” maybe insecure but not many people are aware of these sorts of things .
451 masquarading as a 500 is pure dishonesty.
pipe still in the way of my shoe is just bad.
All brand does this, its just a name :D 701, 698, 390 , 300 :D none of them represents the real engine size :D
@@mannyechaluce3814 glad you know you have no standards.
Because it's their naming scheme and it just sounds better. Z900 should be called z950 cause it's 948cc engine, why don't kawasaki call it 950 then??? They have no "integrity" R7 should be R69. KTM Duke 990 and 1390 should be 950 and 1350 and Husqvarna is just pure lies because they have the same engine as ktm but rounded to rounded to 100s. It's just a naming scheme my guy, they aren't trying to fool you into thinking it's 500cc or they wouldn't show the engine specs in their advertisement
@mannyechaluce3814 he has no standards because of a standard he didnt choose? Also the cbr500 is a 470
@@entropy5125 I talking about kawasaki , u must be reaaaal dumb
Damn, girl!!!
You are all over the place!!
🤪
Sexy. The bike doesn’t look bad, either…..😏
Call it what it is - a Z450....
Then z900 should be called z950 cause it's 948 cc engine but it doesn't roll off the tongue as well. KTM 990 and 1390 should be 950 and 1350, and R7 should be R69. It's just a naming scheme eveyone rounds to 100s and KTM to 90s
Take that lovely new TFT display, put it on the z400, and I'll be the FIRST in line to buy it.... z500 is just a BLOATED z400. Shame on you, Kawasaki! (now regretfully considering an MT-03...)
Too ugly. Kawasaki needs to learn how to design their motorcycle from the Chinese.
Google Kove 321RR
Kawasaki's suomi design just... sucks ass.
As much as I won't but one, cf moto really makes nice looking bikes.
@@JelloThatsMellow buy 2nd hand imho
@@JelloThatsMellow Thanks Comrade
This bike looks good, the front headlight finally looks like a face it reminds me of a Bimota tera. It looks way better than any cyclops eyed bike like CF moto 450 nk or Mt 07
Very low top speed? Can't even go 200kph? He will eat smoke and dust to 450nk haay
One of the ugliest bikes Kawasaki ever made. Looks cheaper than the Chinese knockoffs
"It's the same, but different." Your reviews have never been profound and yet somehow they get even lazier. If you're thinking of using a video title that could be said about literally any bike that previously existed but has new model year changes, don't.
Imagine the disappointment, your buddy tells you he's got a new bike. Then rolls up on this 🥲
Imagine the guy who just bought one brand new reading that comment!😂
