The Kawasaki Z500/Z550 series began with the 1979 Z500, a scaled-down version of the Kawasaki Z1R. It used a double-cradle steel frame with a transverse-mounted air-cooled 4-cylinder Double Over Head Cam engine—a classic Universal Japanese Motorcycle.

Early Z550 models (1980–1981) had a double disk brake in the front (the US model KZ550 had a single disc brake) and a drum brake in the rear, with a conventional swingarm using twin shock absorbers.
