[s man]

Yeah but the versys has had that for a couple of years.
2 power modes and 3 tc modes

ABS/ TC sensor is on the left side, thats why you cant see it..

Looks like we will still have to wait for a z1000 with a 10 motor

Spec's

Augmenting its aggressive, sugomi styling is a list of performance upgrades: Some seen on its Ninja 1000 counterpart and some not. In the engine department the Z receives the same revised 1,043cc liquid-cooled inline-Four featuring new intake cams for improved low- to midrange torque, new cylinder connecting passageways for mid- to high-rpm performance, and new ECU settings along with equal-length velocity stacks make for sharper throttle response. Final-drive gearing was shortened while a new taller 6th gear helps maintain highway comfort. The airbox features new atmospheric intakes to enhance intake growl and a new non-woven air filter element.

New one-piece, monobloc, radial-mount front brake calipers are composed of differentiated diameter (32mm upper, and 30mm lower) pistons. While a new ABS pump new has a fluid pressure sensor that allows more precise control of line pressures. Brake pad compound has a higher coefficient of friction for improved stopping power.

Unlike the Ninja 1000, the Z1000 is suspended by a new Separate Function Fork-Big Piston (SFF-BP) fork. The separate function fork features dedicated preload adjustability in the left tube and dedicated damping pistons and adjustability in the right tube, while large-diameter damper piston is much larger than those used in traditional cartridge forks. SFF-BP design offers easy adjustability, by locating all adjusters in the caps at the top of the two fork tubes.

New, compact instrumentation features a dual element bar-graph tachometer with 0-4,000 rpm indicated vertically along the left edge of the lower display and a larger 4,000rpm+ tachometer filling the entire horizontal upper display. LCD information includes ABS and ECO indicators, digital speedometer, odometer, dual trip meter, clock, instant and average fuel consumption, coolant temperature, and low-fuel warning lamps.

The more I see it the more I like it. I think it's a winner. Sure it's no ZRX but what can you expect

[dutchy]

I'm still undecided. I think if I saw it in the flesh of love it.

The more I see it, the more I want to ride my ZRX. I have to say I am more a fan of the 2010-2013 model. The new one needs to have a DB screen fitment availability (it doesnt seem to have one from what I can see), they look soooooo much better. Just check the Hoff's or Rod's or Carbon Col's or Mick C's for proof of that

But I do like the new S1000R BMW

Just posted a link to that. Looks nice

Fan of the S1000RR, but the net photos of 1000R makes it look its hit a wall; than paying for the privilege of fairing removal, minus 40 hp; but hey will give you some clip on's.

Hope it looks better in the flesh.

[Cshat]

Now kawasaki has 2 ugly naked bikes, z800 and z1000. Glad I got the 2010 z750. Shits all over both models

Umm the 1000r is cheaper isn't it? The s1000r is a fully optioned or nothing price point.

Oh and most reviews say you can't really notice power loss in the s1000r compared to the rr

[Wattie]

Because the bulk of the RR's power is at almost red line. Useless on a naked "road bike"

[vanrootn]

Saw a 2014 zed at the dealership a couple of days ago... I think it looks better in the photos! Really not a huge fan.

[s man]

I like it, be different I say, we can all ride safe boring bikes, but only a few have to guts to be different..
