2016 Kawasaki Z800 ABS | Motorcycle Buyer’s Guide
The previously sparse mid-size naked sport class is getting crowded and the Kawasaki Z800 ABS is the latest competitor in this just-right displacement range.
An alternative to the liter-bike flagships, the Z800 has a steel frame, lower-spec suspension, traditional multi-piece calipers, and a less-sophisticated fueling system, as well as a considerably lower price. The highly oversquare motor is tune for smooth running and good torque, will plenty of over-rev. ABS is standard, as the name implies.
