Overview
The Kawasaki Z 800 is a naked motorcycle from the Z family, produced from 2013 to 2017. The 2017 model has an 806 cm³ liquid-cooled inline-four engine producing 113 hp (84 kW) and 83 Nm of torque at 8,500 rpm; its wet weight is 227 kg.
The 834 mm seat height may make it harder for shorter riders to get both feet down, while the 227 kg wet weight can make low-speed maneuvering more demanding. The 17-liter tank gives you a fixed amount to start each ride, but actual range depends on fuel consumption. Rebound damping and spring preload are adjustable at both ends, so you can tune the suspension; the chain final drive needs regular cleaning and adjustment.
