6 kgs down low though, which helps the C of G.
Mind you, I've just replaced my standard cans with Akrapovic.
Road legal, so no louder than normal.
But look better and lighter.

Looks great!

Z750 (and now Z800) are both on the short list of bikes I'd have if I ever manage to persuade the wife that I should be allowed to start riding again.

Naked bikes don't usually float my boat, but the Z800 is nice.

Me either mate, was always into sports bikes but there is just something about the Z800.

They are offering 0% over two years at the moment too. If I were given the go ahead, the A4 would be given the chop in a heartbeat.

I've got a z800 had it since  July this year,  paid just under £7k new for it (full power model). I had to go for the green one as well.

Loving every minute of it, I commute every day on it and it does a grand job. Fast, comfortable and nimble considering it's weight.

Had it's first service a while back, exhaust valves now fully open and the exhaust sound is amazing, on over run the induction noise is fantastic, pity it only averages 34mpg on a run but fueling is spot on throughout the rev range.

so, had my CBT for 6 months, been riding a CBR 125 since then, and have looked at a few YZF Thundercat's that I could restrict and ride if I passed my Mod 1 2.

Think i will be starting saving

Unless you really like the Thundercat's looks, I would seriously consider a CBR600 from the same era instead.
It was a much better bike all round.
The Thundercat was a bit of a duffer and quickly replaced with the R6 when Yamaha realised the CBR600 was spanking it on the track and in sales.
