Tested: 2016 Kawasaki Z800 ABS Motorcycle Video Review | Riders Domain

Up until recently, if you wanted a Kawasaki Z street bike you were going to spend well over 10 grand. Not anymore. Kawasaki’s importing its $8400 Z800 ABS in every state, except California. So it’s a good thing we came to southern Oregon to test it...

Kevin, I also own this bike & got mine for same price. Desent bike except for the hard seat. Have you changed your seat?

[@motomoves4807]

Great job thanks for the review!

[@avilasstorm]

Great job,,, after a long time...

[@RidersDomain]

Thanks Mr. Storm - glad you enjoyed the video.

[@DarveyHent]

Wait, so this bike isn't available in California? Is it because of the emissions laws?

[@jaimin891]

That is correct! :)

Really the Z800 just got to US on 2016?? weird, I owned the 2014 version here in Mexico... Greate bike by the way

[@jaimin891]

Hey! What are your thoughts on this bike? I am shopping around to see if I can get my hands on a 2016 z800 model. It looks pretty sick and the handling seems to be okay for less than 50 miles commuting and down-town riding. However, I have heard about the weight of this bike. Any suggestions?

[@BradfordDsouza]

jaimin891 it's a great bike. I own the 2016 model myself. I use it mostly for weekend rides upwards of 100kms. I've even done 600kms at one go. Comfortable riding position, not so comfortable seat - your buttons will get sore after a few hours. Heh, it's a heavy bike. You'll feel the weight I traffic or while taking tight u-turns at low speeds. And ya, he's right about the slip on. It sounds so much better bettered than one on. Couldn't be happier.

[@shreksexy6879]

I have this bike also & agree the seat is crap! Did you upgrade your seat? If so what did you get & how much?

[@gdevelek]

Kawasaki did a great job preserving the ungodly weight of the z750 and making this another joke in the Z series.
