Introduced in 1981, the Kawasaki GPZ 550 was an upgrade of the KZ 550 street bike, with a hot-rodded version of the old machine’s four-cylinder engine, an air-charged fork, adjustable shocks and a bikini fairing. This was the first of the line, with a 500 cc DOHC engine, later bored out to 553 cc's and also available as the 398 cc Z400J (identical to the Z 550). | |||
