Looks like yet another Ninja to hit our shores, well except for California

Not a fan of the headlight but I love the bike and have wanted it in the US for a while

I may get one on the lightly used market in a few winters

#1, Not a Ninja, it's just a Z800.

#2, 509 lbs WET?!

Also, only 97 whp?!

This thing better have some killer brakes, suspension, and overall "quality".

That does look like a tasty bike.

But I do have to agree with the "transformer" comment.
Bikes seem to be getting more and more "transformery" as days go by lately.

I still like the bike.

@thisisbenji ; "It's just a Z800" ... lol so? "JUST" ?

I've read that it's based on a 7-8 year old Z750 design, not the recently redesigned Z1000, which btw is 19lbs lighter than the Z800...

That's my only real issue with it, its 20lbs heavier and down on power, the price is the only reason to buy it over the z1000.
