i love the way you make a review dude!
so many motovlogger review a bike without show off the beast with beautiful scene like you did.
and you review the bike with objective contents not just screaming around like a kid lol
thanks brotha 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻
I'm 168cm, own a z800.
Lowered the bike to have my both feet flat on the ground.
You're right on riders who stops on a hill slope but with the lowering kit it will give the rider more confident on this beats.
What I love about this bike?
- the sound of 4 cylinder.
- the ride and the feel of engine.
- sufficient torque for daily use even on highways. You can just fly on highway in a blink of an eye.
Dislike:
- when you park your bike in a small area.
Kenny is it better on the highway then a hornet 600 PC 41 ?
@@fingerscrossed2317 it surely has more torque
Kenny after lowering. Did it affect the riding?
@@scrnepz1 i think it did affect. Felt different when riding my friend z800. If not mistaken, it is harder to make a corner when it is lowered, but it will be more planted to the ground when doing a high speed highway at 180kmph.
I will try changing back the kit to the original.
@@fingerscrossed2317 not sure. But i do know i feel comfortable with my bike all the way to 180kmph. Comfort speed is at 140kmph.
At 200kmph, i need to put my head at the tank and my neck can only withstand for 5sec due to the wind blast.
I lowered mine with 2cm and it completly changes the ride. It doesnt feel heavy anymore and it is more agile. It is a complete joy! :)
Cinematics and editing are great! Nice review appreciate the nice mic as well!
I absolutely love my 2016 Z800. Most fun I ever have on a motorcycle.
Why am i watching a review of the same bike i have? xd
MotoDanKZ what do you think of the bike ?
I absolutely love it. It is even better when you customize it, such as changing stock exhaust, mirrors etc... No regrets! Its a beast!
MotoDanKZ thanks for the reply
ride safe bro
Hahaha Same I own it since January and I still watch it on YT haha
+KamikazeGra I guess it grows on you I also am sailing in the same boat :-)
I have the 2016 Z800 and absolutely love it! I'm 5'8 and have no problem with the height of the bike. As for performance,it's unreal. I've had it up to 123 mph and it still had so much more to go. Yes there's a lot of wind, but just put yourself down to the tank and it's not that bad. Plus there's torque for days in every gear. The only mods I want are exhaust to make it louder and some lane splitter mirrors, that's it. Other than that, it's absolutely perfect.
Cool, I love how you review this bike. Especially because I'm from Malaysia (neighbouring country of Indonesia) and we have quite similar traffic conditions, I can expect performance in daily ride more accurately. The fact that the bike weigh 230KG kinda scares me since I've only rode a 135cc bike myself, it feels a lot lighter and nimble. I'm 140KG and 180CM obessed bastard so I hope those numbers could help me control the bike later on. HURRAY TO HIGH TORQUE BECAUSE I FOOKIN NEED IT!!!!!
I love mine
Definitely worth it, the weight does hinder the porky during tight corners but on high speed it certainly helps keep the bike stable
Loved the review! So much professional !
The slider cinematic shots were just amazing..
just like of Chaseontwowheels and may be better.
thanks for the review man..gonna buy this bike, but havent sure about it yet..
after watching ur vid..
damn, im gonna buy this bike for sure man..peace!!
even with the Z900 being sold now.. i still like the z800 so much more ^_^
why? its way heavier and it has less power...
Demon Slayer 561 more then likely his preference is the look,because I'm thinking the same thing you are. Faster, lighter
sjbali yes dude.. I think 800 is btr than 900
Z800 design looks more manly..but z900-weight less..hmm
they didnt produce z800 anymore?
This'll be my bike in future insha Allah
awesome intro bro!😊
your videos always have the highest quality, i do expect more to come!😊
Prajwol Tamrakar appreciate the feedback brother cheers
Hey bro i love watching your videos because your content is amazing.
hey man i love your videos very much it's just it is better if you give your impression on how the throttle response are, the brakes, the front & rear suspensions and other important things of A bike compared to B bike to C. etc. btw your riding style and behavior are very close to mine, that's why i feel like i'm riding it. i love your videos! keep it up dude!
hey thanks for your feedback appreciate that, will definitely consider that for the next review 👍🏻
So after so many reviews i ended up buying one, i just love it! It looks tough! It goes like a shower of sh#t the only time i notice the weight is moving it in the car park. Ive added slidders tank grips mini windshield and a delkvic oval 320mm exhaust, it sounds like a f1 car!, i ride 80km per day on the motorway, it sits so well, i dont care about the wind, the only gripe i have is the vibrations at 6,000, the seats a bit hard after 2hrs of riding but all these things are nothing when you look at what u get. Even at low speeds the bike sits upright, with only a few times the weight has caught me out on tight turns, it loves to rev but, in 3rd to 5th its still very usable, in traffic for lane spliting its still very easy to manage. I have no regrets at all.
Only that i cant thrash it enough🙃😉😎 ive spoken with owners from z800's that have bought a 900/ 1000, and they all miss the z800, one guy actually bought his old 80p back!!
Sooo,
Thats my review.. just go buy it
I wouldnt hesitate in recommending this bike
Hey buddy! What slip on did you put on it? I just bought brand new z800 couple months ago and have been thinking about putting the handle bar mirrors and a slip on. Was it a pain to put the mirrors on? If not, how did you do it?
Dear Santa,
I know its only May but ....
Kaloyan Bankov Don't believe in Santa, believe in money bro :v
Riyan Key belive in God ;)
Bruh! intro 😍 Nailed it 👌
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great review. Excellent video quality.
3:51 almost slipped up.. good catch hahaha
my dream bike... nice vid, bro 👏😄
Nice vid. I just bought the 2020 z900 and it's amazing.
You deserve a lot more Subs brother..Love from India :))
Currently own a 2008 ZX6R and looking for a switch up... thinking this could be the one! Thanks for the video
Getting one this Saturday can’t wait
I hope you love it. I shaw do love mine!!
@@MSPEC95 it’s been 4 months and I can’t be happier. Great bike all around.
Bali semetooooon!! Big ups 👌🏼👌🏼
It is so smooth, there is no need to say you will lose traction, only if you want to lose it.
I just bought one (2013 with 1000km) oh my god I love it so much already 🤠🤠🤠
Do a Kawasaki H2 next if you can btw loved watching your videos bro and hello from Malaysia 😁
Hahahahah hopefully I can find someone with an H2 will definitely try!
Hahaha
VIVA A.C.A.B
dream bike
Mine to, i have it now for 4 years and i love it :)
why driving license for a bike
Interesting dream bike, i currently have a Fz-07 and aspire to one day get the tuono but not sure if i want an inbetween bike like this.. but really i wish i had the mv agusta brutale D;
dream bike wich was discontinued, flawed model...
i'd prefer a 145kg bike instead of 231kg bike..
i bet that 140kg 690 R with 690cc generate more power than this z800 , seems flawed model... if u want this.. go for new z900 i think
u can't start at your 18th with this in most countries. everything is restricted for starting drivers
nice review,can you do a review on the suzuki gsx-s750 2017,would love to hear what you think of that bike!:)
How do the headlights perform at night? I have heard complaints about the headlights on the newer models of the Yamaha MT-09, and was wondering how the headlights on the z800 perform at night?
awesome camera work man
Thanks for this video! Im probably buying this bike at the end of next month! Going from a zx6r which was my first bike and I have been riding 18 months now and about to switch over to a naked sports and this is the one
Y did u get the mt over this ?
@@jdtopv8650 because i decided i want 2 bikes so didnt want a naked sport that was just the same as a comfortable super, the mt-07 feels like a chunky dirt bike and so much fun, the plan is to get an r6 in May as well so got a good choice of bike to ride
The intro was dope !
love ur vid bro.. waiting for smexy yamaha r6 2017 vid from u .. peace!
Amazing Z800! the Z1000 is one of my dream bikes
Jason wong z1000 is definitely up there
Will you do z1000 review anytime soon???!
Great video dude am in the UK am just about to purchase one if these bikes
So did you buy it?
Introoo was dopeeee
thanks for complete review
Hi what's your average mpg on this thing?
Definitely thinking about making this my next bike!
I’m on a fence
Honda CBR650f
Or this...
Dude the exhaust is original(company provided) or u bought it later?
Hi man. Can u make a video or mybe review about which one is better btweem z800 and ducati monster 796. Also in term of maintenance and price. Thanks buddy.
4:07 aaaaaaaaaaaaawyeah
Btw where has your channel gone? You made such good videos...
what song is that??? sounds awesome
cool vid!!
what app did you use to edit the colortone for the cinematic scene ?
adobe premiere pro, I shot in S LOG2 and added a LUT from impulZ LUTS
Best review of z800. Do more review videos
"its fuc... freaking scary dude" haha love it
😂😂😂
hey bro, could you do a review on Honda cb650f? btw I love your videos man keep it up
Love your vlog, 👏🏾👍🏾
hey daniel, i noticed your videos have improved a lot since your review on the cbr 250 rr... and nice intro btw. keep up the good work, oh and it would be nice if you make a video of most reasonable sportsbike in indonesia, cs many bikes arent really made for traffic condition in here. that would be interesting.
very nice review bro 😀you r too good..want to watch more video pls uplod..🤗
i got a z800 2013 model. Love it. could you tell the brand of your mirrors?
so basicly stock clutch handles/triggers or how they are called are crap? need aftermarket ones?
I went from a light 1000cc sportbike (R1) to this, because i needed a more upright bike because of the classic bad back issue! Anyway, the bike is in specs heavy. BUT it is weightless once you sit on it. - beautiful bike and has just the right amount of power to be a cruiser and at the same time go fast when you need to. xD
I have it for 4 years now and i love it, not gona change the bike for a lot of years. Its my favorite bike, best looking bike. Yes i was scared a little about a weitgh but when i drived first time i see that ist not bad at all and heavy. Just changed the exhaust and its 5kg less. And the price is very good, cant say a bad think for this bike!
i am seriously considering to buy this bike!!
You should man, very goog bike, and for that money theres no better bike. Very good for town riding, very torque bike, all my frend cant bealive how good low end torque this bike have, and it have good gas consumption. Its a fast bike and god sound bike, i have Mivv Gp exhaust. Wherever i parked bike people stop to look and say that look sick, even 4 years later and with the new bikes and more expensive bike.
jasamnedostizan i know im late but how tall are you ? Was height a problem while handling this bike.
Good vid, I'm 5.8" and had to get it lowered, found the seat super comfortable for all day rides, heavy as hell though, I'm quite light (50kg) so any slow moves and turns are scary as hell
cheers! wow that's quite impressive that you can handle that bike considering you are 50kg! respect.
ah, its quite easy when you are hooking into corners at 100kph, but seriously, parking it is a bitch, it has a turn circle of a truck, so the usual, pull up and reverse in maneuver takes a few goes, those I ride with are used to having to wait for a while till I can get it in hahaha....had mine from new since November 2014 and have done 34000k on it
Haha you are right about both parking and the turn circle. both are quite annoying but still definitely a worthy bike to own. you must do quite a lot of riding to do 34k in just three years. i am guessing you are residing in Australia or America as they are high mileage countries
In November it will be 3 years, and live in South Australia, to me, there is no point owning a bike if its going to sit in the garage lol, the abs works great on the Z800, had to use it a few times, I ride every single day...unless I am in hospital, it takes something pretty drastic to happen to keep me off the bike lol
Woman on 2 Wheels motovlog I’m the same height and around the same weight at you and looking to get this bike were you about to handle it at its stock height or was it only manageable when you put on the lowering kit
the intro is soo good. keep it up.
thanks bud
Have to switch hands to keep both strong!
I disagree with the touring part, this bike is great for touring because it has smooth power delivery and overall smoother ride because of the inline 4, all you need is an aftermarket comfort seat and a good luggage rack and you're good to go.
What seat would you recomend?
@@techten1012 A plastic bag will do
@@bruderrudiger9574 how?
i love the intro
Dream bike 😭 damn one of my favorite bike in the world
OMG BRO I subscrib mostly for those intro's
Would this bike be good for a beginner bike for people with little experience
Try 6way adjustable levers ,that is next level stuff bro
Do you know a place in bali that i can rent a z800? Im considering of getting 1, and goes to bali at least once a month, would love to try that out.
i know its not necessary.. but id love to see diff angles of the bikes while you ride them.. maybe even have the gopro stuck onto the side or something, but now that i think about it, too risky..
nice cinematic shot
great video :)
Cool video, thanks alot!
Hey man just watched your vids can i ask you something? Where do you recording this? cause the enviroment it seems like you recording at Indonesia
Look at 5:28😁
@@saru8245 thanks man i think i dont pay attention on that part
@@christianumboh4127 you are welcome
Dude,please tell me where you got your Monster jacket😍
Where is this filmed? Nice video!
did you own this bike? just curious how did you get this ;)
i just got this same bike today!!!! i love it!!!!, and yes clutch wears your hand out quick, idk why. also im not a fan on the back breaks. i may change my pads out. idk, bought it BRAND new. so may just need to break it in!! cheers!
pyki northsea you can make it more closer the clutch.
I like your reviews.
Hi from India
What camera did you use?
LOVE BALI and the Z800 - what does a Z800 cost in Bali (Euros)….. what are the job possibilities right now in Bali ?
Which camera are you using?
I've always been curious as to why the z900's only ever have half of the head light on...aren't there any brights on this bike, or are the brights just both headlights at work?
i don't know if i understand your question but im gonna reply , Only one headlight works on motorcycles because it is meant to indicate to oncoming traffic that it is not a car. In essence, motorcycles are signified by one working headlight, while other vehicles are signified by two. It also indicates that the motorcycle is likely quite close in terms of distance google it
which exhaust are you using?
what cam do u use?
I sold my bike I totally regret it now. Ima have to scoop up another soon if any of you guys have any suggestions hit me up I kinda want something above 600cc in the sport bike format.
so touching for an excellent video
hi Daniel, just wonder what kind of camera kit you were filming for this video. Its footage looks so good; especially when you jerk it up a lot but it doesn't have much blur due to wind and engine vibrating.
By the way, your review on the bike is so interesting [thumb up] and keep up with your work :) cheers mate
Addy Yang gopro hero 4 black and Sony alpha a6300
danieldonjohn Did you do any color grading on the Go Pro POV?
yes I did.
Wich bike do u prefer now these days? Z800 or z900?
I think z800 looks better from the front, but z900 rides better.
Yo, vlog some more would ya?
I'd like to see you vlogging
What exhaust is that on the bike??
The Z900 is amazing if you have the money but this is a nice budget option.
It's heavy because it's based on the old ZX-7R which wasn't exactly the lightest sportsbike, for the new Z900 they downsized the Z1000 engine and used a new trellis frame.
That is true but i dont like how the z900 looks comapared to the 800 so i ended up buying the 800 anyway
Fucking loves the cinematics shots ! Thumbs UP!!
this is raelly a beast....i was fall in love when i see this bike at 1st time
Just buying my Z800 stoked where do you live bro?I’m loving the scenery.
bali, indonesia

sure thing!
brooo... u shoot the video in sanur? haha nice...
Two questions, why did they stop making it, and could a beginner ride this bike?
Cj Beagle start on er6n before own this beast
