The Kawasaki GPZ 500 budget sports tourist model dates back to 1987 and was produced until 2009 inclusive. The model was intended only for foreign markets, so it was not officially sold in Japan - instead, the domestic Japanese version [[Kawasaki_EX-4 | Kawasaki EX-4]], featuring a 400 cc engine, was available. The Kawasaki GPZ 500 is the progenitor of the modern model [[Kawasaki_ER-6 | Kawasaki ER-6f]] (also known as [[Kawasaki_ER-6 | Kawasaki Ninja 650R]]).
