Kawasaki Z800 Black - 2013

Overall Rating
We’re genuinely shocked how good the 2013-2018 Kawasaki Z800 naked is, given how uninspiring the old Z750 was - it’s a fitting tribute to the Zed’s 40th birthday. The ride quality is sumptuous, the motor smooth and there’s power spilling out of it at every rpm. It’s a real joy to ride. All the hard work Kawasaki has put into improving the engine, stiffening the chassis and sorting the suspension has really paid off, but it’s still on the heavy side.
