This is a weapon of a bike. What do you think of it?

Nice to see someone on youtube that's capable of being sensible on a motorcycle. Hats off mate, great role model.

Rob, hi. So I went back in the day to see what you thought about my love for Kawasaki Z1000. Thank you bro, you're my motorcycle YouTube family and your discussion here was exactly 💯

[ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA]

Nicely done Robbo. That bike is such a fun bike and super versatile for sure. Pure fun and would make an awesome daily driver. Great slow shots of the bike ! Audio was good in the park ! Well done ! I’d love one of those bikes in my stable !

I recently sold my 2012 SE ABS Z1000. I absolutely loved that bike and honestly the best bike i've ridden and i've ridden a few. I can't wait to get a new one and they're absolute beasts! Thanks for the great review and happy riding.

I just picked up a brand new 2023 z1000 for $17.5k on road... That's a LOT of bike for the $$$, and this machine is an absolute weapon! It's one thing to read 111Nm at 7000rpm on a spec sheet, but it's another to have all that beautifully flat, usable torque curve at hand. No electronic rider aids other than ABS and that's exactly how I want it because if it did have rider aids I would set her up exactly as she is now and just leave it there. this thing really is fully sorted from factory as you would expect from its pedigree.... Only thing to note here is that this is NOT a bike for the inexperienced, there's a lot of power on tap without hesitation - more than enough to get into a lot of trouble. There's a very specific technique to riding these supernakeds and you really have to come in already understanding that.

[We] appreciate your classy, informative approach most, i think.

I’m glad you said you’re an average rider. I guarantee that I’d be a casual to average rider. That’s what I was looking for :) I always like the look and reviews of the Kawasaki line up

[vikparker]

Thanks Robbo, just confirmed my new bike for xmas 😊❤ cheers mate, can't wait and its exactly the same model as the one your riding🤙🤙

[myriadcorp]

Love the talking with hand while riding the Z1000.

[kirkk___]

Awesome review. I just picked up a 2016 model the other day and love it. Keep up the great videos 😊

[bigdope]

Sweet video mate, I’ve got a 2020 Z1000 and it’s far and away the best bike I’ve had. Looks like itl kill you in your sleep and pulls like a freight train.

[mrnobody]

I worked my way through the Z range starting from the Z800 then Z900 and i have to say my favourite is the Z1000, they are all different machines with different characters, but the 1000 dominates the range.

[ebertroos]

I'm from South Africa. Couldn't find one review on this bike. I'm really enjoying this review and I hope your YouTube channel grows tremendously.

I have a 2008 Z1000 (only owner, bought new, Engine has never been opened and I have finished a service book... I think I'm the first to do that on a Z :P) and I ride everyday, come rain or shine, and I'm STRONGLY considering upgrading to the newer model.
I love the fact that they have gone back to the dual exhausts (sort of one of the iconic styling on the Z1000)
BUT, I HATE the stalk indicators on the front... I love the integrated/flush mounted indicators on the fairings on the old model.
The were bigger... FAR more visible and just made the bike look that much more meaner and awesome. The Z1000 was also one of the first bikes to do this and I really loved that design choice
I REALLY wish Kawasaki would bring that back into the Z1000 series.

The screen needs the tft screen update like the Z900, cruise control and quick shifter and it would be perfect.

[bigg]

I agree The Nakeds are very comfortable and fun to ride.Also very flickable and awesome in corners.Just good fun all round.👌

[Mr.L-hs]

Yeah its the beast and i love it.its my dream bike since then, hopefully soon. Thanks for sharing man, you got my support, ride safe as always. Watching from philippines.♥️

[Phantom]

Mate give that thing the beans already. Just watched a video where it’s going about 260 kph on the street.
That thing is a monster.

I think these bikes (I have one) are all a rider needs. Plus the 2 pipes, looks are stand out and awesome seated position. I never ride without being questioned “What is that”👀. Did London to Paris on it a few times and whilst it’s windy, the bike performs so well and once in Paris or in any city it’s at home.
