Yamaha FZ-8N 2011

But as in life, you can't demonise the "approximate 3/4 litre" concept of the FZ-8 by quickly leafing through the data sheets. That would be a shame, because the 8 has given us a lot of pleasure in the 3,200 kilometres we have covered so far. Contrary to the facts, the 800 is probably the best choice for the average ambitious rider.

Stable and stable

chassis relatively universal

large variety of accessories

acceptable performance

Footrest detent insert sets too early and brings unsteadiness into the chassis - as well as scraping on the ground

ugly exhaust

a bit cumbersome

All in all, we think the Kawasaki Z 750 is right to wear the R. It is definitely a lot of fun on trackdays. However, if you want to hunt for lap times energetically, you have to invest in the chassis. Primarily to gain lean angle clearance. After that, you could even think about an "RR" in the name abbreviation.

Confident engine

excellent braking system and ABS.

Stability - unsteadiness in the chassis.
