presentation of the Z 800 e Performance 2016
to satisfy certain European regulations and the thirst of young A2 license holders, Kawasaki has come up with an e version of its Z 800. A little less power, a little less equipment, a little less on the bill. It's a more than interesting alternative, allowing youngsters to afford the essentials of the Z. All you have to do is accept a few concessions in terms of braking and suspension. The Performance version offers a different kind of pleasure, with sound and style.
really?!? Who's in charge of the sound system? Akaprovic. The Slovenian brand is called upon for the exhaust, with a lighter, more vocal carbon element. With this, the ear is flattered; the eye must be satiated too. Kawasaki offers the retina more fun with a body-colored seat cover and a smoked bubble. The latter will take advantage of this to relieve (a little) wind pressure. A self-adhesive gel fuel tank protector is also included.
