Kawasaki z1000sx 2016 review. Loosely based on kawasakis excellent z1000 for many this is the all round bike theyve been waiting for. With a price tag of 9995 its not the cheapest bike in its class but it sits well against other bikes that profess to have a sports touring personality so we borrowed one for the day to see how the latest nips. Chuck in the new 15mm taller double bubble screen and the zx did a good job of keeping me protected from both wind and rain.
It also contributes to its touring ability because its 28mm wider to offer better wind protection round the legs. Practical fun and more eye catching than the competition too mcn rating 4 out of 5 45. Test of the naked cult if you havent heard yet im telling you now.
Lets be honest the z1000sx isnt much of a looker. Since being introduced to the kawasaki range in 2011 the z1000sx has carved out a loyal following. This week its the kawasaki z1000sx.
The naked sport bike market has exploded. A review on kawasaki z1000sx sports tourer kindly loaned by bournemouth kawasaki httpswwwbournemouth kawasakicouk please likeshare and subscribe thank. 2016 kawasaki z1000 review.
Not only here in the us but across the globe riders are. New bodywork doesnt just make the z1000sx look sportier. Fast effective decently equipped involving good value and yet understated and unshowy too.
2016 kawasaki z1000 the ride engaging the clutch and selecting first gear i get a reassuring slight mechanical clunk as i tap down the gear lever the cable operated clutch is not the lightest but has a positive feel as i feed it out to engage the engine. The 2017 model is in dealerships now and not only that they are selling fast.
