Updated 1980 version of the earlier, unsung
500-4, the Z550 was to suffer, in its turn,
from the attention given a few months later
to a more developed model, the GP550. But
in the period before that startling newcomer
arrived, the 550 was able to establish something
of a reputation for itself as a crisp-handling
middleweight giving away very little in
speed to the old-established 650 from the
same factory. It marked also the beginning
of a new styling phase at Kawasaki in which
colour-matching (generally in rather understated
shades) and an angular line, replacing the
adipose curves of the 1970s' models, were
to be carried through the range. Thus the
550 was finished in one colour — usually
silver-blue — on tank, side-covers,
seat support and tail, and front mudguard,
with the cast-aluminium wheels in matt-black
picked out with polished metal. |
