2013 Kawasaki Z800

no thats not i typo. Kawasaki are following Yamaha into the 800cc naked bikes.

The Z800 will be replacing the Z750 next year

no specs yet. I’ll let you know as soon as i find out :wink:

dear god, that CAN! so ugly it makes me want to slit my wrists

Wow! That looks absolutely stunning (apart from the exhaust obviously, wtf is that?)

also shame about the lack of radial calipers and a proper swingarm

Its the swinger on these that looks like crap, this one looks slightly different but you’d think they’d tart it up like the rest of the bike.

They have used far to many parts it’s to cluttered and fussed looking for a naked bike .

That is lush!

I don’t like it that much… the front looks like it’s been hit with a sledgehammer and the whole bike looks like it’s on steroids…

I do think it will look better when you get to see it live but those photos just don’t do it for me

what is with these exhausts, are they really necessary? i haven’t seen a new bike with a decent looking exhaust for ages.

I think it’s that they give you the ugliest thing on there just so that you’ll buy the extra parts

i ferking love the ZED750R’s that 8 look’S MENTAL!

It looks like a very angry wasp, which is funny seeing how another well-known manufacturer make a bike called the Hornet that doesn’t look half as mean :slight_smile:

I like it though, and I don’t really mind the exhaust, it kinda blends in with all the other matt black plastickyness. Not sure I’d buy one but I’d definitely take it for a test-ride.

Is it just me or are all bikes these days trying to look like B-Kings?

leaked video with sound

i still think the 04 z750 is the best looking naked bike going. this looks ok but its not aggressive enough

i really like the zed 750, may even be next bike if i dont go back to the twins.

i prefer the looks over the 1000, the Z750R in black and green…yum yum:D

Agree with NumNum - the styling is too busy. It looks like a transformer - which was probably the intention - it’s got a kind of Japanese techno/manga aesthetic going on which does have it’s appeal - maybe it looks better in the metal.

I like the Z’s although with the original thou and the 750 and with this one - the thing I don’t like is the way the headlight unit looks like it’s slipped down the forks a few inches from where it should be.
