Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z1000 2012

Kawasaki Z1000 2012

All in all, the new Z1000 is a successful further development of its predecessor. The lack of traction control is more of a marketing problem than a problem for end customers.

Powerful engine

rich sound

unique design

No traction control

nervous chassis

Kawasaki Z1000SX 2014

Kawasaki Z1000SX 2014

The Z 1000 SX is a great middle ground, indeed the optimal intersection between sport and touring motorbike. There are not many bikes that manage this so well.

Confident, powerful engine

fairing suitable for touring

sporty layout

good traction control

surprisingly versatile

well-integrated pannier system.

Unconventional handling in tight corners

windshield could be higher.
