presentation of the Z 800 Performance 2016
the Z 800 has immediately shown itself to be up to the challenge of its destiny. With its mill having progressed on all fronts, all that's missing now is a strong mouth. And there's no need to bawl, just sing with vigor. The Z 800 Performance should satisfy you with its Akrapovic exhaust system. The shorter muffler provides a few extra watts and a weight saving of 4,800 grams. This is no mean feat; the muffler is 65% lighter than the original.
the Performance Pack includes a few extra elements to give the Kawasaki roadster a little more dynamism. A small windscreen, which provides an ounce of protection, gives the fork head a more pronounced sense of plumb. The fuel tank is protected from zippers by a set of semi-transparent gel adhesives. Finally, to affirm your sporty, dark and bachelor character, a seat cover matching the color of the millstone takes its place behind your back. Thus adorned, this "Z 800 +" ensures style. Pricing-wise, it's starting to hurt... Almost enough to afford a CB 1000 R, the most affordable of the big streetfighters.
