Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z1000 2010

Some made a noble impression at first glance, but the Japanese managed to screw up the whole bike by fitting a single rancid part (exhaust, indicators, swingarm, fork,...). Kawasaki brings the Z 1000 in 2010 all new and all serious.

Satisfaction in the saddle

plenty of power

pure pull

good chassis

comfort

sophisticated design

tightly tuned suspension elements

more direct handling.

Slightly suboptimal brake inputs - but still quite acceptable.
