Overview - Kawasaki Z1000 2009 vs Kawasaki Z1000SX 2019
The Kawasaki Z1000 2009 and the Kawasaki Z1000SX 2019 are both powerful motorcycles with similar engine types, in-line four-cylinder engines. However, there are several key differences between the two models.
In terms of engine power, the Z1000 2009 has a maximum power output of 125 HP, while the Z1000SX 2019 has a more impressive 142 HP. This increase in power is noticeable and gives the Z1000SX an advantage in terms of performance.
Similarly, the torque of the Z1000SX is also higher at 111 Nm compared to the Z1000's 98.7 Nm. This increase in torque provides better acceleration and overall performance.
Both motorcycles have four cylinders and operate on a four-stroke engine. They also have liquid cooling systems to ensure optimal engine temperature during operation.

Both motorcycles have double disk brakes at the front, but the Z1000SX 2019 has additional features such as radial and monoblock technology, which provide enhanced braking performance.
The dimensions and weights of the two motorcycles are quite similar, with both having 17-inch front and rear tire diameters. The wheelbase of the Z1000SX 2019 is slightly shorter at 1440 mm compared to the Z1000's 1445 mm. The seat height of the Z1000SX is also slightly lower at 815 mm compared to the Z1000's 820 mm.

When it comes to strengths, the Z1000 2009 is known for its relatively high power output, powerful appearance, comfortable ride, optimal chassis, and acceptable price. On the other hand, the Z1000SX 2019 offers a noticeable increase in power compared to the Versys 1000, a sensitive in-line four-cylinder engine that can be controlled easily, and a price-performance advantage among tested sports touring bikes. It is also considered an ideal compromise between sportiness and touring capabilities.
However, both motorcycles have their weaknesses. The Z1000 2009 has an uncontrollable instrument unit and requires some manual force. The Z1000SX 2019, on the other hand, is electronically rather rudimentary and its instruments are not optimally readable in direct sunlight.
In conclusion, the Z1000SX 2019 offers several improvements over the Z1000 2009 in terms of power, handling, and features. It is a more advanced and refined motorcycle that strikes a balance between sportiness and touring capabilities.
Technical Specifications Kawasaki Z1000 2009 compared to Kawasaki Z1000SX 2019
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Kawasaki Z1000 2009
Kawasaki did well to rethink and rebuild the Z1000 from the ground up. It was given a dark soul whose roots lie in the (un)good old days, but it seems more genuine and cohesive thanks to its independent development. Kawa did justice to itself and the wishes of its customers to a high degree. All in all, a courageous product for courageous riders.

The nakedbike genes of the original Z1000 have fortunately been retained in the right areas, but the bike has been consistently tuned for touring suitability. An adapted seating position with a clearly comfortable seat (also and especially for the pillion rider), a finely controllable engine and sufficient wind protection provide the optimal basis for long, extensive and not least sporty rides. The rather compact knee angle might cause some of you to take an early break on long rides. In return, however, you get an upright riding position in which you can freely develop your upper body. The Z1000SX is a reduced to the essential touring bike with a top price-performance ratio! One thing in particular stood out: you don't always have to have all the electronic "helpers" on board to create a sporty bike that rides very well - a TOP sports tourer at a favourable price compared to the other two bikes!
