The Kawasaki Z800 was a naked motorcycle part of the Z series in Kawasaki's range that debuted in 2013, replacing the Kawasaki Z750, and continued production until 2016, when it was replaced by the Kawasaki Z900.
In 2013, alongside the base model, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Z800 e, a European version of the standard model that retained all its nifty features. It was also available in a de-tuned version to comply with the A2 license regulations.
The bike featured an aggressive design and standard features, such as a dual headlight unit integrated into a stylish front cowl, a two-piece dual seat, a four-into-one exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right side, and six-spoke lightweight wheels.
The 2013 machine packed an aggressive look complemented by several color schemes. It was available in Pearl Stardust White with Metallic Spark Black, Pearl Blazing Orange with Metallic Spark Black, and Flat Ebony with Metallic Spark Black.
The bike was built around a backbone tubular high-tensile steel frame with a 41 mm adjustable inverted fork on the front end and a bottom-link Uni-Trak adjustable shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent suspension performance and handling.
As for performance, the 2013 Kawasaki Z800 e had installed an 806cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 95 hp with maximum peak force at 9,500 rpm and 76 Nm (56 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.
