well, still running in so cant say much but coming off the husky and drz, this beast is really smooth in terms of shifting and vibrations..lol apart from that, so far its a joy to ride..the seating posture is not too sports bike leanin forward or too much straightened up like drz, more natural position. pillion no complains so far except for the heat since not use to it. sooo, wat are u guys waiting for? join me! cheers

Woah Bro... really damn nice.

 

Can share whats the OTR price?

 

Btw any idea of the FC for this bike and issit difficult to get Kawasaki parts in sg?

 

Really interested in this bike.

[haoKR]

i think abit too fast to ask him for the fc..haha

az_itsme,how much u dwn

[Az_itsme]

lol..true.. anyway before i went for this purchase i did a lot of research particularly in parts availability up north since kawasaki is the top selling brand in msia hence they have great support. the sales of z800 is immensely crazy in Msia compared to anywhere else even europe and they have hundreds in the waiting list for the Thai factory to delivers stocks to them. so for parts availability shuldnt be that bad, u can either go to JB where the kawa agents are or u can ask ur mech to order. but that i foresee will be in maybe 1-2 years time when wear and tear begins to show. as of now oil filter and eo changes can be done here, share the same as z1000 air filer and oil filter. i check with shop at JB as well on the original accessories from Kawa and they are relatively much cheaper comparing to online prices and ebay whereas aftermarket ones are cheaper online.

 

base on the msians rider feedbacks, the get ard 19km/l and as much as 21-22 if u take it easy on the throttle. i know for a fact loois and speedway bring the bike in and most shops i enquire do not. prices range from 21-23k OTR depending hw skill u are in nego, lol..i sold my drz which was fully paid and paid ard 11k for dwnpayment. personal experience i cant say much, the odo is only 15km as of today. lol.. but u can go to z800 malaysia FB, if u know malay there are tons of info over there like possible issues they face from factory like leakage, things to look out for, performance and maintanence etc..or the official z800 FB page. cheers, worry less buy one join me! we can go jalan2 at JB together..lol

 

some i took today cheers!

[AdrielX]

16 to 21 is very good fc liao. I have a frd riding fz1000 getting onli 14km/l. my fz6 getting between 18 to 21 too.

yeah i think is quite good. some super 4 riders already tell me their fuel consumption 18km/l lol

[Az_itsme]

lol bro u wana ride a 800cc and above lidday u say bad oready.. if that the case, kupcai is the way to go.

 

or if u wana ride class 2 suggest u take nc700x. less thrill but u got ur fc there.

haha.. cos i was expecting more.

my k8 750 can get 17-21km/l which is the same as the z800

Thus i was quite surprise.

[Az_itsme]

same ok mah..abt same cc...maybe if u want naked middleweights between z800 STR and gsr750.. i think the gsr will get better mileage but i dunno if its alot difference.

 

and nakeds are born for low to mid range therefore ud be happy throttling ard the city.

[AdrielX]

Juz saw a Malaysian white Z800 zoom past me on AYE.. Beautiful bike ! Thumbs up!

[Az_itsme]

lol..have not bump into any yet sadly..

[AdrielX]

Bro, I do believe your Z800 is the 1st OTR. So I believe we may haf to wait maybe 1 or 2 months before other z800 goes otr.

[globalvtec]

AZ_itsme!! YOU ARE MY NO 1 IDOL NOW! Done considering..time to chase my dream!!
