The US (with the exception of California) will be getting the naked Kawasaki Z800 as a 2016 model.
Priced at $8399 US$ the Z800 will come in at a slightly higher MSRP than Yamaha’s big hit the FZ-09. The Z800 will feature ABS to go along with its 806cc inline four. Not quite as aggressive in appearance as the larger the Z1000, the smaller bike offers more comfortable option than the tradition sport platform. Also in this displacement range is the Suzuki GSX-S750 leaving Honda as the sole player without an aggressive streetfighter representative in the sub 1000cc group.
