Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB 1000 R 2014

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Kawasaki Z 800 2013

Overall, the Z800 delivered a sensational performance. Considering the fact that nothing was changed or optimised on the vehicle apart from the Remus rear silencer, a super final result.

Eye-catching, chunky look

confident acceleration

relaxed geometry

powerful brakes

Limited freedom of movement for the legs.
