Hey everyone, first just wanna say this board is awesome, some of the posts have been a real help with my '88 EX500.
So anyway, last week I stop in at the Kawi dealer for some stuff, and I start looking around. What I see is just about the most incredible looking bike I have ever seen, the new Z1000. So I have a couple of questions...
Does anyone have one of these and if so, what are your impressions?
I have had my eye on another bike when I get a new one (shh, don't tell anyone, the Suzuki SV650), but I like this one soooo much more. Has anyone heard if Kawasaki will eventually make a mid size version, like a Z750 or something in the future?
I'm not looking at buying for at LEAST 6 months, and I'm not afraid of the 1000, its more of a cost thing. If they did make a smaller one, it would be more than enough for me (5'11" 145lbs). The Z1000 MSRP is $8500 while the SV650 is just under $6000. Huge power difference but I'm not convinced I would be missing out by settling with 80hp vs 125hp.
Any comments?? Thanks!
