    I used to like full sport bikes the most but now I think naked bikes are better. They have a better ride position, lower insurance and better price.

      @MakTheSank 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      +T Brown yes, naked bikes are better! about long trips, you can just put a windscreen(Fairing) for 100-200$ and you are good to go! (they all look ugly with windscreens though :/)

    This is actually my favorite look on the Z1000. The headlights, in my opinion, are some of the best on any motorcycle. This Z, the gen 1 Hayabusa, 2009-2014 R1 and the 2007/08 ZX6R all take top positions on my list of favorite front ends.

  • @shockofGod
    @shockofGod 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I went from a Yamaha R1 to a Kawasaki Z1000 which I ride now and it's my favorite motorcycle ever. Very reliable and torque is epic for fast starts and it pulls and pulls on the freeway. The bike looks much better with a zero gravity windscreen it totally improves the look of the bike.

    Naked bikes can be so much fun! Coming from faired bikes (fz6r, gsxr750) and going to the fz8 was so much fun! You get a similar extra sense of speed like being in a very low to the ground sports car. Riding a naked bike you don't have that whole cluster out in front and so it appears you are going faster than you are.
    Too much fun!

    I own a 2010 z. I love that bike to death. Changing the mufflers to a more open exhaust really improves the heat of the engine. It runs a lot cooler. I ride in shorts all day all the time. I only got burned from oem stock mufflers. After changing them it quit happening.

      YarekBalear ...also, p.s. when you've that much torque in almost any gear (apart from first), then a gear indicator is superfluous :P On my test ride, I was convinced the speedometer was in km/h, because it felt slow but I was flying past cars and realised I was actually travelling in mph :P

  • @chevymaster08
    @chevymaster08 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Quick note on the clutch and gear change issue you talked about.
    I have a 2015 Z1000 - basically identical to the one you tested. Absolutely agree with shifting that it seems that you need to be hard on it in order to feel solid tactile feedback.
    Here's something interesting though. I just did my first oil change and put in V300 instead of whatever factory crap they put in it. After doing that, shifting feels way better. The tactile piece of the equation is greatly improved. That being said, I'm only 100 or so miles into it, so maybe it will return to the old feel, but I thought it was worth noting.
    Engine also feels smoother.
    You stay classy.

    ***** Thank you so much for doing this review! I got the 2014 Z1000 this March. It is an absolute pleasure to ride and the torque on that thing is absurd! The suspension is harsh and the wind noise is crazy. But once it starts pulling through, the acceleration is addicting.
    FYI the bike you rode is a 2015 Z1000 and not a 2013. The 2013s were the previous generation.This gen started with 2014.

      Then get the Ninja 1000. I'm 6'2", 175#, and it's all day comfy, but still has all the same chops as the naked version. Brakes and suspension are excellent and you're not going to notice the extra weight of the full fairing. What you will notice is that the wind protection is excellent.

      You can find them new for the price of a Z1000 (or less), not hard at all. Might be last year's model but it's brand new still. Hell, I've seen a red/black 2011 Ninja 1000 brand new on Cycletrader for like $8,600 USD. I'd call them and say no way. I'd give them $7,500 out the door for it since it's 5 years old. If they are not close you can say you have to pay to have it shipped so $7,500 out the door is as high as you'll go. Back in 2011 when the Ninja 1000 came out the price was $10,999 USD. I got it for $8,299 USD because they weren't selling. Now you tell me they still didn't make a profit on the bike???!!!

    NO NO NO Chase... Thats the '15 (prolly been corrected a buncha times by now though). They changed the design in '14! Got mine right after your meet. Wish I coulda been there. Been recording a bit now. Gonna post some vids soon of mine ('14) Love it. Great review. I agree with everything 'cept for the mirrors. I really like them. Wanna take 'em off but I can see so much makes me feel safer.

    Which do you prefer the zx10r or the z1000?

    • @squishypitbull
      @squishypitbull 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Higher insurance and more aggressive stance and higher top end. Zx10r
      Low insurance, comfortable and more then enough power------------ Z1000

    That's crazy I started watching your videos just to watch bikes run from cops and I thought all the roads you were on looked familiar. Then you said you're in Marietta and I'm like that's where I live! Haha

    like you said in the beginning that the FZ09 competes with this bike. ive owned an fz09 for about 2 months no. A the mirrors do kinda suck but not as bad as the z1000. the bike is stupid light and nimble and you ride it just like a super moto. super flat torque curve so power everywhere and being only an 847cc in A mode on the throttle the front tire hates the ground like you wouldn't believe. hope to see your opinion soon have fun ride safe.

    I love these bikes, but why does Kawasaki put the ugliest damn exhaust pipes they could possibly create on their bikes. If you need a reference look at the H2

    • @VeeFour
      @VeeFour 9 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Don't they just. Kwak need to sack their exhaust guy!

    • @RidingNaked500
      @RidingNaked500 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      No shit. Its like they spend all of this time and energy on their bikes appearances and then they say well we still need an exhaust pipe and the development team just says well fuck it

    Have you had a chance to try out the ninja 1000? I am just wondering if handle the same or which one would you pick? Thank you, great review.

  • @ronn56100
    @ronn56100 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Which one will be a better buy?
    The Triumph speed triple or The Kawaski Z1000.
    Main concerns are Sound, Torque, Power and performance.
    Have to do the street riding.
