2025 Kawasaki Z500Se ABS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Kawasaki's motorcycle platform, the 2025 Kawasaki Z500Se ABS utilizes a 451 cc engine layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 70.0 x 58.6 mm with a 11.3:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Z500Se ABS measures 168 kg (370 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1 mm (0 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
