    Kawasaki Z800 price cut of min INR 1 lakh in the offing

    Autocar Professional reports that India Kawasaki Motors (IKM) is currently evaluating the possibility of locally assembling its popular Z800 middleweight street fighter in India. The Kawasaki Z800 which was launched in January 2014 is currently being imported as a CBU from Thailand.

    The Z800 is underpinned by a steel backbone chassis which is equipped with a USD front fork and a rear bottom-link Uni-trak horizontal mono shock suspension. The twin discs upfront and a single disc at the rear are governed by ABS.

    The Kawasaki Z800 would become the sixth production to be locally assembled in India, after the Z250, Ninja 300, Ninja 650, ER-6n and Versys 650.

    Approved!

    This is great news. At 7.3L, it just becomes so much more VFM than the CBR650F, ST and the likes.

          The orange black combo is spectacular. The CB650 is going to run into further trouble.

                  What a tempting price. Its just Rs. 7.2 lakhs more than what I can afford, though.

                    Under-cutting St3 by 2 L is perfect awesomeness. This also talks about the probable money Triumph makes from CKD ST3. It will be better if Kawasaki starts assembly of new iteration though.

                      Absolutely. Z800 has proven to be one of the best super bikes that money can buy in India.

                            This is gonna hurt a few or probably many.

                            Kawasaki India Confirms It Has No Plans to Start CKD Operations for Z800

                            n light of rumours that the Z800 street-fighter will be imported via the CKD route in the country, Kawasaki India has issued a statement denying this. Yutaka Yamashita, Managing Director of IndiaKawasaki Motors said, "There was never a plan to have the Z800 go CKD. Kawasaki always decides the assembly of models that is reasonable under CKD regulations. We do not see any positive outcome to go CKD in India with the Z800".
                            The Kawasaki Z800 is one of the more popular offerings in the premium motorcycle segment, not to forget also the more value for money ones if you go by the power to price ratio. A consistent seller for the manufacturer, rumours emerged online suggesting that the Japanese manufacturer is looking to locally assemble the Z800 that will help boost the sales of this street-fighter. Currently brought to India as a CBU, the middleweight motorcycle is priced at 7.67 lakh (ex-showroom, Pune), and the CKD operations would have shaved a good 1-1.5 lakh off the asking price.
                            Had it been the case, Kawasaki India would've certainly seen a hefty increase in the number of footfalls at its dealerships. That said, the lowered price could end up cannibalising sales of its other offerings- the Ninja 650 and ER-6n- both of which are locally assembled at it's Pune facility.
                            The Kawasaki Z800 is powered by an 806cc in-line four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that is tuned to produce 111bhp at 10,200rpm and 83Nm of torque at 8000rpm. The motor is paired to a 6-speed gearbox. Suspension duties are handled by 41mm inverted front forks while the rear gets a Bottom-Link Uni-Trak monoshock setup. Braking performance comes from dual semi-floating 310mm petal discs with four piston calipers with a single 250mm petal disc with a single piston caliper. Being a CBU, the Z800 gets dual-channel ABS as a standard feature, which is missed out on the other locally assembled offerings.

                              Topic Closed in light of recent statement made.

                              Additionally, I want to confirm that we're receiving rumors about Z1000 and Ninja 1000 getting CKD'ed, but that could be wrong too.
