Default My new Z1000

Sold the F4i and picked this guy up today. Hopefully i'll still be welcome around here!

03' kawi z1000 10k miles

It's got a bored and detuned zx9 motor and its wicked fast! One reason why i got it was because of the seating position and dirt bike handle bars, which makes it WAYYY more comfy than the F4i.

Looks good but definitely needs the belly pan. I was looking at the 2nd gen version of these but opted to stick with the F4i. I just picked up $400 74 cb750 instead that I'm gonna chop up for a more relaxed ride.

The Z definitely lacks the wind protection the F4i provided at high speeds. I didn't buy this thing for highway riding, just cruisin' around town and the tall windscreens are UGLY on these things.

Hell yeah a belly pan would look great.. that'll be number one on the list of future mods.

A cb750 would be a fun project make sure to post some pics!

*drool*

Love the new bike man, looks very clean. I've always liked the Z1000's, they look sick, and have the neutral seating position ergos, so they're comfy too!
