2014 Z1000

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.

Just seen a pic of the green one. Not sure about that headlight.

Heaps of pics here http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/2 ... eak-video/

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

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

But I do like the new S1000R BMW

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.

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

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

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.

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