Kawazaki Z800 is Power Full
Kawazaki Z800 is Power Full-Kawasaki announced it will
import its Z800 middleweight streetfighter to the U.S. for the 2016 model year,
slotting in below the Z1000 in the company’s lineup for $8,399. Unfortunately
for residents of the Golden State, the Z800 will be a 49-state model and will
not be available for sale in California.
Powered by a 806cc four-cylinder 16-valve engine, the Z800
claims strong mid-range performance suitable for street use. Fuel is injected
by 34mm Keihin throttle bodies with sub-throttles, promising a smooth response
across the rev-range. The Z800 also uses two different length intake funnels to
optimize airflow for different engine speeds. Equalizer tubes connect header
pipes one with four and two with three to improve engine response at low-to-mid
rpms. A six-speed transmission offers short overall gearing for strong
acceleration while a tall sixth gear helps the Z800 maintain a comfortable
engine speed for highway cruising.
The engine is mounted in a high-tensile steel tubular backbone
frame and cast aluminum engine subframe. The subframe connects with engine
mounts located behind the cylinder, close to the engine’s center of gravity to
reduce engine vibration, especially to the handlebars. Rubber mounts also help
quell the vibrations and improving feedback.
The front wheel is suspended by a 41mm KYB
fork with adjustable rebound and preload, offering 4.7 inches of travel. At the
rear, a KYB shock with a piggy-back reservoir offers adjustable rebound damping
and spring preload and 5.4 inches of travel.
Dual-opposed four-piston brake calipers stop the 277mm front
discs while the 216mm rear rotor is paired to a single-piston caliper. The Z800
comes standard with a Nissin anti-lock brake system. The six-spoke wheels
similar to those on the Z1000 come with Dunlop Sportmax D214 radial tires.
The Z800’s headlight offers an aggressive scowl but is not as
squinty as the Z1000’s lamp.
Like the Z1000, the Z800 adopts a forward-leaning stance. A flat
handlebar offers a wide grip position, providing more steering leverage while
risers give the Z800 a more upright riding position.
Other highlights include a 4.5-gallon fuel tank, digital display
with three LCD screens, LED taillight, luggage hooks on the license plate
holder and behind the passenger pegs and an electronic immobilizer. Kawasaki
claims a curb weight of 509.4 pounds.
