Of course, on paper the Z1000R is inferior to current Powernakeds and in a classic points evaluation it also loses to the simply perfect Z900. BUT it still exudes pure fascination. Not everyone will like it, but some will adore it. A truly masculine man's bike with a very superior engine and a chassis from the golden era of naked bikes. The Z1000R is still a true naked bike from Supersport Gene - with all its advantages and disadvantages.

Powerful and powerful naked bike engine. Nothing here seems contrived or high-bred - pure power

high-quality and superior chassis - stable, precise and full. Not a handling rocket - Nevertheless, this is among the advantages. Real nakedbike feeling without supersport hecticness

Little steering angle

shift assistant missing
