More than 40 years after the birth of the original Z, the 2015 Z800 ABS carries on the
spirit, and takes the design in an aggressive, modern direction. Designers were given free
rein on the Z800 ABS to pursue a vivid expression of the Z brand for the mid-size class.
Engineers were equally unconstrained when it came to engine and chassis design; a
punchy inline four cylinder engine and sharp handling chassis, the 2015 Z800 oers an
exciting and expressive choice of ride that makes other options seem pale in comparison.
