Kawasaki's Z series started almost 40 years ago, and the latest model of the family, the Z800, carries on the heritage, but takes things to a higher level in terms of performance and power.
Building on the popular Z750 model, the new Z800 not only brings a bigger displacement (806cc instead of 748cc) and more power, but an overall performance increase which will please the discerning rider.

The 4 in-line engine offer brutal torque from the low rpm segment, making sure you'll be able to handle slower turns on mountain roads with ease and confidence. Throttle up and the power explosion will make you grip the handlebars in awe, thanks to the sporty potential and smooth yet firm acceleration.

Z800 now sports an even more comfortable and natural riding position, with a more user-friendly chassis for more confident handling. The dash is now full-digital and sports a triple LCD screen offering plenty of data, including a nifty eco-drive indicator for better fuel efficiency during casual rides.

The styling of the 2013 Kawasaki Z800 is as aggressive as it gets; asking for a meaner look would probably require the addition of bloody spikes or so. This streetfighter is more evil than any Z-series has ever been, and this is good, since we all love bikes with a strong attitude. The bike also comes in the Z800e European version “calmed down” to 70 kW (93.8 HP). Both US and Europe Prices are TBA.
