India Kawasaki Motors has introduced a limited edition Z800 motorcycle for the Indian market. This special edition Z800 will be limited to 10 units in the country and has been priced at INR 7.5 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). As you may have already noticed, Kawasaki is offering the motorcycle at the same price as the standard model. The special edition Z800 comes wrapped in black and blue dual paint with white and red graphics and it looks quite good in our opinion.
Apart from the new paint scheme and graphics, the special edition Z800 does not get any mechanical changes. Thus, the limited edition motorcycle continues to use 806cc, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke in-line four cylinder motor which churns out 113 PS (111 bhp) of power at 10,200 rpm and 83 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm. The engine comes mated to a six-speed transmission.
