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!

Noticeable increase in power compared to the Versys 1000

Sensitive in-line four-cylinder that can be dosed in a controlled manner

The price-performance winner among the tested sports touring bikes

Ideal compromise between sportiness and touring capabilities

Electronically rather rudimentary

instruments not optimally readable in direct sunlight
