Kawasaki Z1000SX 2015

The current model of the Kawasaki Z1000SX is already a wonderfully balanced motorbike that scores points with its sporty charms as well as its comfort features and long-distance capability. However, the new 2017 model makes everything even better: refined wind protection, a more comfortable seat, better accessories and a host of electronic helpers that make riding safe and confident even in adverse conditions. Nothing had to be changed in the sporty character of the powerful engine, and the look with the LED headlights and the many edges is almost on the level of a super sports bike - all in all, an absolutely successful further development.
