Resplendent the Firecracker Red of 1980’s Z-GP models, the 50th Anniversary Z650 represents a unique chance to own a machine in the mid-capacity class that Kawasaki pioneered. Dark blue and silver highlights accentuate the vivid red colour scheme and, like earlier models, the “Z” emblem and Kawasaki logo are finished in gold. Add silver pinstriped red wheels, new seat cover material plus the commemorative “Z 50th” front fender logo and special becomes “must have”.
