Kawasaki Z1000 2005

Kawasaki Z1000 2005

The Z1000 engine is a very nice naked bike engine, very powerful and powerful torque. The sound through the 4 pipes is also very fine. As befits a naked bike. For naked bike fans, this is certainly a great bike.

Very powerful engine - lots of power

great handling

fun to ride.

Not really suitable for beginners.

With no other Bigenduro can you ride so hard on the knee and therefore end up way ahead on the grid. If you often feel attacked on your holiday trip, you should fight back with the Versys 1000. Which proves that big enduros and four-cylinders do get along.

Silky running powerplant

sporty, comfortable chassis

efficient wind protection

cushioned seat.

Slight tipping in curves takes some getting used to

arguable design
