Well, stepped up...

Got a screaming deal on a 2016 Kawi Z800. List was 8400$, got it for 6400$ out the door...my Vader 125 might be looking for a new home, all of 35 miles on it. 26mm carb, aodonly exhaust, 16t sprocket, have a 17t, never installed, headlight upgrade, rear mudflap delete 1400$ or reasonable offer? That is a good price I think, can wiggle a little on $, but don't wanna lose my ass. Won't deliver, come and get it, live by Madison, Wi...all stock parts come with it.
If easier, my # is 608-622-8565 text/call. Name is Joel.
Thanks.

awesome z800 i always thought one those would be fun to ride.

What mods do you have planned for your 800?

You got a steal on that machosaki.

If you lived closer...but Tampa, Florida is a long ride. Ever thought of keeping it? I would not take less than $1,200. Did you have to remove the lower fairing to put on the aftermarket exhaust on, or did you like it better with it off?

Enjoy the new bike!

Goody302 · 07-03-2017, 01:27 PM

Thought of keeping it, but room in garage is thin now...lol. Mods for z800, have rear fender delete and pipe on way.

Goody302 · 07-03-2017, 01:28 PM

Lower fairing I took off, was missing a screw when uncrating it, so I just removed it, I like the look better anyways.

Goody302 · 07-03-2017, 01:30 PM

Yeah, the z800 is fun, feels kinda heavy just sitting on it, but once rolling, feels pretty nimble. Oh, the power thing is nice too, gets up and boogies pretty good.

Congrats on the upgrade! I too have been looking for a larger bike, but for now, really enjoying the compact size of the Vader.

Goody302 · 07-06-2017, 09:09 PM

Thanks prism, I too like the smaller bikes, hell, when riding with my buddy, I tell him to take the z800 for a bit, I hop on his z125. But, I had a motive, to get him to buy a bigger bike. The small bikes are cool, but have a place. If wanna go for a long cruise, it sucks sticking to backroads cuz the 125 goes like 58-60, well, he had it to 67 drafting me lol. Needless to say, he has a new z650 on the way, he's picking it up next Tuesday. At dealership where I bought my 800, they had a white 650, but he wanted black to match his 125, so, next Tuesday he gets it.

What headlight upgrade did you put on the Vader. I just bought a Gen 2 and want to upgrade my headlight. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

It looks like a Grom headlight.
