KAWASAKIEX 500R Ninja (GPZ 500S) 1994 - 1996

　　The Kawasaki Ninja 500R was a sports motorcycle part of the Ninja series in Kawasaki's range, originally named EX500 and also known as the GPZ 500S in several markets. The bike debuted in 1987 and continued production until 2009, when it was replaced by the Ninja 650R.

　　In 1994, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki EX 500R Ninja (GPZ 500S), a sport motorcycle that received a revision including visual, technical, and performance modifications.

　　Some changes included larger 17-inch wheels with wider tires, a redesigned front and rear fairing, a redesigned instrument cluster and dials, a new rear disc brake instead of a drum unit, and a firmer suspension system.

　　Also, in the engine department, the bike featured several changes that improved reliability, such as modifications to the alternator. In addition, the Cam Chain Tensioner (CCT), flywheel, and transmission were easily installable with minimal changes to fit any first-generation motorcycle between 1987 and 1993.

　　In the aesthetic department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a bikini fairing with a lower engine fairing, a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

　　As for the power figures, the 1994 Kawasaki EX 500R Ninja (GPZ 500S) had its heartbeat set by a 498cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered 60 hp at 9,800 rpm and 46 Nm (34 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.
