2024 Kawasaki KLX300, Ninja 500, and Z500 Mega Gallery
Last year, Kawasaki launched three (or four, if you want to get technical) new models that may not necessarily be the most alluring or attention-grabbing models in Team Green’s lineup, but they’re hugely important to the brand from a sales perspective. They are the 2024 KLX300 and KLX300SM, Ninja 500, and Z500 SE.
While you could browse through all three reviews linked above to see the myriad of pictures for each, here we’ve put together a mega gallery of all four bikes for your viewing pleasure. Just click any of the thumbnails below to go directly to the gallery for that bike.
2024 Kawasaki KLX300/KLX300SM Review Gallery
As classic starter bikes for many, or secondary play bikes for those with disposable incomes, all four bikes come highly recommended. The KLX300, and its 292cc Single hasn’t changed much throughout the years because it hasn’t really had to. It’s approachable and inviting nature is the whole point, and Kawasaki nailed it from the start. However, Kawasaki felt it fit to update the looks of the little KLX to keep it fresh with today’s buyers. Then, of course, adding a supermoto version only ups the fun factor for those with more street-biased fun in mind.
2024 Kawasaki Ninja 500 Gallery
The Ninja 500 brings back a once popular model for Kawasaki, as the original Ninja 500 had been a staple in Kawi’s lineup for over two decades, from 1987 to 2009. This new version shares nothing with the old bike other than the fact it has the same engine size and configuration. Technically, the new Ninja 500 has a 451cc Parallel-Twin, and it's surrounded by a better chassis, brakes, and suspension. Most importantly, it looks way cooler than the old Ninja 500, too. Of course, this latest version is really an update to the outgoing Ninja 400, with a bigger version of this same engine.
2024 Kawasaki Z500 Gallery
The Z500 SE takes the Ninja 500 above, just like the Z400 took the Ninja 400 before it, strips away much of the bodywork, adds a handlebar, and creates a different riding dynamic.
