Confidence-Inspiring Reach to the Ground

While seat height is 785 mm, the slim design of both the seat and the rear of the engine gives riders an unobstructed line for their feet to reach the ground. The seatÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s flat shape offers ample padding in the front portion without sacrificing the comfortable reach to the ground, which helps riders enjoy the bike with confidence.

High-Grade Cockpit

The Z500 is equipped with a high-contrast full LCD instrument panel. The sophisticated instrument design features a well-thought-out display, with a bar-style tachometer that reaches over the speedometer and other displayed data. Smartphone connectivity enables riders to connect with their machines to enjoy display notifications, riding logs, and community features.

High-grade full-colour TFT instrumentation

A high-grade full colour display with TFT (thin-film transistor) technology delivers a high level of visibility. The screen's background colour is selectable (black or white), and screen brightness adjusts automatically to suit available light. Like the standard model, smartphone connectivity lets riders connect with their ride. Non-current colour shown

Ergonomics for Control

Relaxed rider triangle accommodates a wide range of rider sizes and riding situations, contributing to its rider-friendly character. The relatively upright riding position and wide handlebar put the rider in the ideal position for active control, facilitating dynamic, sporty riding.
