2014
2014
The 2014 Kawasaki Z800e is a naked middleweight motorcycle that offers a more accessible entry point into the Z family, compared to its higher-spec sibling, the Z800. As a competitor in the popular 800cc naked bike segment, it went head-to-head with machines like the Yamaha FZ8 and Suzuki GSR750, appealing to riders seeking a stylish and capable machine for everyday use and weekend fun.
At the heart of the Z800e lies an 806.0 ccm inline-four engine. This powerplant produces a peak torque of 76.0 Nm at 7700 RPM, providing ample pulling power for confident acceleration and overtaking. With a fuel capacity of 17.00 litres, the Z800e offers a reasonable range for longer rides. The rider sits at a height defined by the 834 mm seat, which may be a consideration for shorter riders.
The Z800e offers an upright stance, typical of naked bikes, offering good visibility and control. The suspension is tuned for comfortable road use, soaking up bumps effectively. While not track-focused, the Z800e still provides a sporty feel, allowing riders to enjoy twisty roads with confidence. The riding position allows for comfortable commutes.
The Kawasaki Z800e is aimed at riders who want a stylish and capable naked bike without the higher price tag of some competitors. It's a good choice for those new to larger displacement motorcycles or experienced riders looking for a practical and enjoyable machine for daily riding and weekend adventures. The Z800e is a solid option, offering a good balance of performance, style, and value.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• Excellent mid-range torque makes it very fun and responsive for city riding and overtaking maneuvers on the highway. • Comfortable riding position for a naked bike, suitable for daily commutes and weekend trips without excessive strain. • Aggressive and modern styling that still looks good, setting it apart from more bland competitors in the category. • Smooth inline-four engine delivers a refined riding experience compared to parallel-twin or triple-cylinder alternatives. • Reliable and well-proven engine, needing only regular maintenance to ensure longevity and peace of mind for owners. • Affordable price point (especially used) provides great value for money, offering a lot of bike for the cost.⚠️ Things to consider
• Suspension is basic and not very adjustable, lacking the sophistication of higher-spec models for sporty riding. • Brakes are adequate but lack the initial bite and outright stopping power of more modern or sport-oriented bikes. • Fuel economy is not the best, particularly when riding aggressively, impacting running costs on longer journeys. • The weight of the bike is noticeable, especially at low speeds, potentially making it less manageable for smaller riders.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
