I like it. Looks narrower than the Z1000 and has better instruments.

Excellent.  I'd like it even more if it weren't an inline-4

Interesting

Looks a lot better than the current Z1000.

I bet it will never come here, and if it does no one will buy it.

Because what American is going to say "I would buy the Z1000, but only if it had a little less power"

To borrow from Jeremy Clarkson:

"It was designed by a man who only had a ruler."

Unless then learned nothing from the abysmal sales of the FZ8 and ER-6N, it will never see our shores.

I think Kawasaki learned it already with the Z750 which they stopped importing many years ago.  I would guess the Z800 stays in the markets that continued importing the Z750 long after they stopped bringing them here.

Nice machine.   Too bad the sporting naked bike class hasn't gained popularity in the states.

They should have loppd a cylinder off the Z1k and made it an 800 triple.

Exactly, and it would have had roots from the Kawis of old, so it would make sense and glorious exhaust notes.

Oh well, at least Kawi is hard at it, it seems like they are the only Japanese manufacturer that seems to give a shit about making interesting motorcycles.

Man, that is an awesome idea.

Looks confused, like it doesn't know which way it's going
