Kawasaki Z500 SE (2024 onwards)
The Kawasaki Z500 is a lightweight naked bike that has replaced the Z400, which was one of the most popular A2 friendly motorcycles on the market. The Z500 comes with a slightly bigger engine and an updated design, but other than that, not that much has really changed.
You will still get the same features as on the Z400 such as a basic ABS system, LCD screen, and steel trellis frame. The horsepower has also remained the same, which is a slight disappointment. But, nevertheless, it is still an awesome A2 bike that looks good, is super-easy easy to handle and extremely affordable to buy.
A2 Licence Compliance
The Kawasaki Z500 SE is a 451cc A2-friendly standard bike. It has a power output of 33 kW (45 bhp), which is within the 35 kW (47 bhp) limit needed for an A2 licence. No restriction is required, as the bike is fully A2 licence compliant.
