PR 220 Kawasaki Z800 arrives!

PR 220 Kawasaki Z800 arrives!

Date: 2012-12-06
The new Kawasaki Z800 looks so wicked that it should come with horns and a tail included in the packaging, and it's got the go to match the show. The factory has stretched the already lively engine's capacity from 748 to 806cc for 2013, elevating peak power to 113 horsepower and torque to 83 Nm, but the real improvement is in the way the extra grunt is generated - the new bike's engine is even more willing than that of the outgoing 750cc machine from the moment you touch the throttle until the needle hits the redline.

The new Z800 remains true to the heritage of its best-selling predecessors but with a sharper stylistic edge. The handlebars are flatter to give the bike more of a streetfighter appearance, while the handlebar risers are taller to ensure the same riding position as before. There's a stylish rear hugger to keep the shock absorber and underseat area clean, and a belly-pan is now standard. The new instrument cluster has also been enhanced in that it displays remaining fuel range and boasts an economical riding indicator, while new rear-view mirrors improve awareness of what's going on behind you. There are luggage hooks incorporated in the rear footrest hangers and mudguard making for easy loading when the bike's pressed into service as a tourer.

Get down to East Coast Motorcycles, 10 Meridian Drive, Umhlanga Ridge and get on top of a Z. Call them on 031 566 3024 to arrange this.
