Manageable and approachable for a beginner
A single motorcycle is not ideal for everyone. It is hard to find a bike that is manageable and approachable for a beginner and capable and entertaining for an expert. Kawasaki has come close to this with the Z500 which offers the perfect mix of plenty of sportiness and performance and easy-to-ride naked attributes to enthrall even the most experienced riders. It has a slightly larger engine displacement and impresses with its unique styling. Its approachable characteristics make it a great choice for beginners. The bike’s 24.5-degree rake, 3.6-inch trail, and 54.1-inch wheelbase offer quick steering and agile handling in the city.
