Kawasaki Z1000SX For Sale
What Is It?
The Kawasaki Z1000SX is a super popular sports touring bike and is powered by a liquid cooled 1,043 cc inline four cylinder engine, producing 140 bhp at 10,000 rpm and maximum torque at 7,300 rpm.
Features include:
- Aluminium frame
- Dual 300 mm wavy discs up front with Tokico four piston calipers
- 250 mm wavy disc at the rear with single piston caliper
- Adjustable 41 mm upside down fork with 120 mm travel
- Adjustable horizontal Showa shock with 138 mm travel

Improvements over the 2011-2013 model include re-designed narrower Givi panniers which slot into the pillion grabs rails, a shiny new muffler design, tweaked engine fuelling for improved mid-range power and torque and two power modes with low power limited to 98 bhp plus a milder throttle response.
Kawasaki have also firmed up the suspension, upgraded the brakes to monobloc calipers, added traction control, increased power by 4 bhp and re-designed the seat but it's 2 kg heavier. The 17" wheels take a 120/70 tyre at the front and 190/50 at the rear.
