2014 Kawasaki Z800 e Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Kawasaki's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2014 Kawasaki Z800 e relies on a 806 cc (49.2 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 93.9 HP (68.5 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 76 Nm (56.1 lb-ft) at 7,700 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 116.5 HP per liter and a 1,800 rpm working window between peak torque (7,700 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Z800 e measures 226 kg (498 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.42 HP/kg (2.41 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 834 mm (32.8 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,445 mm (56.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
