Kawasaki Z800

The Kawasaki Z800 has a top speed of 225 km/h, produces 113 hp and weighs 231 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.

Kawasaki Z800 був представлений у 2013 році як наступник Z750, оснащений більшим вбудованим чотирикутним двигуном 806 куб. см і більш агресивним стилем оголеного вуличного винищувача. Він представляв значне оновлення продуктивності та дизайну, ставши популярним оголеним велосипедом середнього класу на європейському та азіатському ринках. Z800 випускався до 2016 року, коли його замінив Z900, оскільки Kawasaki оновив лінійку серії Z.

Що повинні знати покупці

⚙️

Bulletproof Inline-4 Engine

The Z800's 806cc inline-4 engine is known for strong reliability, often lasting well beyond 50,000 miles with proper maintenance. Regular oil changes and valve clearance checks are the key to keeping it trouble-free.

⚠️

Watch the Rectifier

A known weak point is the voltage rectifier/regulator, which can fail and drain or damage the battery on higher-mileage bikes. Always check the charging system output before buying a used example.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Z800 holds its value better than many mid-size naked bikes due to its sporty styling and strong rider demand. Low-mileage examples in good condition typically retain 65–75% of their original value after three years.

Experienced riders wanting daily fun without sportbike pain

"A brilliantly balanced naked that rewards experienced riders without punishing beginners."

$4,500-$7,500 used

The Z800 sits in a sweet spot that Kawasaki absolutely nailed — enough grunt to embarrass sportbike riders at traffic lights, yet comfortable enough for a two-hour commute without destroying your wrists. The 806cc inline-four pulls cleanly from about 3,000rpm and absolutely sings above 7,000. It's genuinely fun in a way that numbers on a spec sheet don't capture. For used buyers, this is a solid pick provided you do your homework. Check the frame sliders — these things get dropped in car parks more than you'd think, purely because owners get cocky about how flickable they are. Inspect the throttle bodies for carbon buildup if it's been sitting, and peek at the exhaust headers for rust around the collector. Owners love bolting aftermarket exhausts on these, which isn't a problem unless mapping was ignored afterward. Service history on the valve clearances matters more than mileage here.
