Kawasaki Z800 - Is it worth it?

[@baksadai]

I'm 168cm, own a z800. Lowered the bike to have my both feet flat on the ground. You're right on riders who stops on a hill slope but with the lowering kit it will give the rider more confident on this beats. What I love about this bike? - the sound of 4 cylinder. - the ride and the feel of engine. - sufficient torque for daily use even on highways. You can just fly on highway in a blink of an eye. Dislike: - when you park your bike in a small area.

[@fingerscrossed2317]

Kenny is it better on the highway then a hornet 600 PC 41 ?

[@danocreations]

@@fingerscrossed2317 it surely has more torque

[@scrnepz1]

Kenny after lowering. Did it affect the riding?

[@baksadai]

@@scrnepz1 i think it did affect. Felt different when riding my friend z800. If not mistaken, it is harder to make a corner when it is lowered, but it will be more planted to the ground when doing a high speed highway at 180kmph. I will try changing back the kit to the original.

[@baksadai]

@@fingerscrossed2317 not sure. But i do know i feel comfortable with my bike all the way to 180kmph. Comfort speed is at 140kmph. At 200kmph, i need to put my head at the tank and my neck can only withstand for 5sec due to the wind blast.

[@mickydamickrkc09]

I have the 2016 Z800 and absolutely love it! I'm 5'8 and have no problem with the height of the bike. As for performance,it's unreal. I've had it up to 123 mph and it still had so much more to go. Yes there's a lot of wind, but just put yourself down to the tank and it's not that bad. Plus there's torque for days in every gear. The only mods I want are exhaust to make it louder and some lane splitter mirrors, that's it. Other than that, it's absolutely perfect.

[@Sempaksemrawutofficial]

I love mine Definitely worth it, the weight does hinder the porky during tight corners but on high speed it certainly helps keep the bike stable

[@MSPEC95]

So after so many reviews i ended up buying one, i just love it! It looks tough! It goes like a shower of sh#t the only time i notice the weight is moving it in the car park. Ive added slidders tank grips mini windshield and a delkvic oval 320mm exhaust, it sounds like a f1 car!, i ride 80km per day on the motorway, it sits so well, i dont care about the wind, the only gripe i have is the vibrations at 6,000, the seats a bit hard after 2hrs of riding but all these things are nothing when you look at what u get. Even at low speeds the bike sits upright, with only a few times the weight has caught me out on tight turns, it loves to rev but, in 3rd to 5th its still very usable, in traffic for lane spliting its still very easy to manage. I have no regrets at all. Only that i cant thrash it enough🙃😉😎 ive spoken with owners from z800's that have bought a 900/ 1000, and they all miss the z800, one guy actually bought his old 80p back!! Sooo, Thats my review.. just go buy it I wouldnt hesitate in recommending this bike

dream bike wich was discontinued, flawed model... i'd prefer a 145kg bike instead of 231kg bike.. i bet that 140kg 690 R with 690cc generate more power than this z800 , seems flawed model... if u want this.. go for new z900 i think

[@fcodijk]

u can't start at your 18th with this in most countries. everything is restricted for starting drivers

It is so smooth, there is no need to say you will lose traction, only if you want to lose it.

[@ir0n2541]

I disagree with the touring part, this bike is great for touring because it has smooth power delivery and overall smoother ride because of the inline 4, all you need is an aftermarket comfort seat and a good luggage rack and you're good to go.

Cool, I love how you review this bike. Especially because I'm from Malaysia (neighbouring country of Indonesia) and we have quite similar traffic conditions, I can expect performance in daily ride more accurately. The fact that the bike weigh 230KG kinda scares me since I've only rode a 135cc bike myself, it feels a lot lighter and nimble. I'm 140KG and 180CM obessed bastard so I hope those numbers could help me control the bike later on. HURRAY TO HIGH TORQUE BECAUSE I FOOKIN NEED IT!!!!!

Great video dude am in the UK am just about to purchase one if these bikes

[@MSPEC95]

So did you buy it?

[@progste]

The Z900 is amazing if you have the money but this is a nice budget option. It's heavy because it's based on the old ZX-7R which wasn't exactly the lightest sportsbike, for the new Z900 they downsized the Z1000 engine and used a new trellis frame.

[@ESO313]

That is true but i dont like how the z900 looks comapared to the 800 so i ended up buying the 800 anyway

[@axltim8329]

i do prefer choose Z800, because the specs and the price is reasonable, i know the weight This bike is so heavy, but it's good for maneuver or do a wheelie. in Indonesia it self, so easy to find Kawasaki's Services especially in Depok-Jakarta. so, if you guys want naked bike, with reasonable price, good at handling for maneuver or wheelie, has 4 cyl and 806cc, i recommend to buy this bike. (I'm not the Kawasaki's sales or the promotor)

[@danieldonjohn]

very good points, i didn't try to do a wheelie but i would love to learn on how to do it. any tips on doing a wheelie with the z800?

[@axltim8329]

danieldonjohn i think you should learn wheelie using 125-250cc first for safety reason. i was also affraid to using big bike like this one for do maneuver. so my limit for do that thing is about 125-250cc, and i think that's enough for me.

[@axltim8329]

danieldonjohn and yeah this is the tips for ya. very important tips. So pick a large, empty parking lot, start riding in 1st to about 4k-5k, quick release of the throttle, and then (timing is "everything" here) just as quickly add back the throttle while pulling firmly on the handle bars (kind of like trying to do a wheelie on a bicycle by pulling the front end up). Initially my arms were pretty sore from all that pulling and no results, as i was out of sync with the throttle (you need to pull the bars at the "exact" time you're adding back the throttle. This is where practice is crucial).

[@danieldonjohn]

i already know how to wheelie on a 150/250/350 dirtbike but never tried it on a proper sportbike before. im just scared of whiskey throttling because of too much power haha

[@axltim8329]

[@alexmacphotography7613]

Good vid, I'm 5.8" and had to get it lowered, found the seat super comfortable for all day rides, heavy as hell though, I'm quite light (50kg) so any slow moves and turns are scary as hell

[@danieldonjohn]

cheers! wow that's quite impressive that you can handle that bike considering you are 50kg! respect.

[@alexmacphotography7613]

ah, its quite easy when you are hooking into corners at 100kph, but seriously, parking it is a bitch, it has a turn circle of a truck, so the usual, pull up and reverse in maneuver takes a few goes, those I ride with are used to having to wait for a while till I can get it in hahaha....had mine from new since November 2014 and have done 34000k on it

[@danieldonjohn]

Haha you are right about both parking and the turn circle. both are quite annoying but still definitely a worthy bike to own. you must do quite a lot of riding to do 34k in just three years. i am guessing you are residing in Australia or America as they are high mileage countries

[@alexmacphotography7613]

In November it will be 3 years, and live in South Australia, to me, there is no point owning a bike if its going to sit in the garage lol, the abs works great on the Z800, had to use it a few times, I ride every single day...unless I am in hospital, it takes something pretty drastic to happen to keep me off the bike lol

[@Max-nm7ow]

Woman on 2 Wheels motovlog I’m the same height and around the same weight at you and looking to get this bike were you about to handle it at its stock height or was it only manageable when you put on the lowering kit
