I know a few people that own a z1000, they all seem to love them, me personally, I don't like Kawasaki s, but that is just down to personal choice. I do like the look of it in titanium though.

Nice bike man if it suits your needs go for it! I like the orange but keep it mean, keep it green

I want Z1000S for long journey. Z1000 with extended meter visor doesn't look good.

i suspect that if you test rode both bikes, you might change your mind

test rides are a good idea before buying a bike

I just got a Z1000 and rode it back home 160 ish miles in 1 hit only stopped for fuel n a pee n ciggy break once... loving every minute of it... had a choice of a green one or the black n red n the black n red won for me only dissapointment i have is that the front wheel doesnt come up on the throttle but its nice handling and fun to ride loads of smiles per mile

When I read the title?

Quite probably, especially seeing as its a Z1 not a Z1000. Think it looks better though

'Cos it's a Z1... and I was dazed, drunk and confused

Feck knows why Kawasaki called their 900cc bike a Z1 mind!

Looking at the sidepanel badges that might actually be a Z900.

Think a good Z1 or Z900 might be a bit out of his price range mind

Not quite. A Z1 is the original 903cc inline 4 which (from memory) ran from 1973 - 75. The Z900 that superseeded it is outwardly the same bike but they have different graphics, twin discs as standard and make quite a bit less power due to smaller carbs and airbox restrictions. The Z1 did 130+ when it was first tested, while a Z900 is good for around 120.

Purebreed Z1's are so expensive it hurts, Z900's are just quite pricey!!!

They are beautiful bikes indeed. Just oh so expensive these days!!

There was a head to head in CMM a few months back - Z1 vs new skool Z1000. The verdict was that while the new bike was superior (obviously), the tester would still rather have a mint Z1 in his garage!
