About this model
About the Kawasaki GT 550
The Kawasaki GT 550 is a four-cylinder touring motorcycle produced from 1982 until around 1991. The air-cooled DOHC inline-four 553cc engine is shaft-driven rather than chain-driven, setting the GT 550 apart from its sportier Z-series siblings. The motor is robust and reliable, intended for everyday use and comfortable touring. The handling is stable and predictable, with sufficient power for motorway cruising.
The GT 550 suits riders seeking a low-maintenance machine for commuting or light touring. The shaft drive eliminates chain adjustment and lubrication. Ergonomically the rider sits slightly more upright than on a naked bike, improving comfort on longer rides. Competitors include the Honda CB550 and Yamaha XJ550. Available used at modest prices, though collector interest is gradually growing.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the shaft drive housing for oil leaks at the output flange; this is a known weak point at higher mileage.
- Inspect the carburettors for correct synchronisation and wear of needles and float chambers; blockages are common on bikes that have stood unused.
- Check fork seals and shock absorbers for hydraulic leaks; original replacement parts are not always readily available.
- Examine the exhaust headers for through-corrosion; the GT 550 four-into-four exhaust is prone to rust at the collector joints.
- Check the charging system (alternator and regulator/rectifier) for correct output; failing charging systems have been reported on older examples.
