2017 Kawasaki Z1000SX Review Motorcycle Road Test
- 7 years ago
Logical, not radical change make Kawasaki’s best-selling sports tourer even more comfortable and exciting.
The perfect sports tourer must be one of the most difficult models for a manufacturer to get right, right?
The recipe needs to be a considered blend of two styles of bike that appear to sit at opposite ends of the spectrum but like peanut butter, bacon and banana, create something special when brought together.
Conversations about sports bikes often centre on power, precision, track prowess and pedigree, and saving tenths of a second. With a tourer comfort, plushness, wind protection and tank range are more appropriate areas of focus – stuff that generally isn’t going to help you ping through Craner Curves as fast as you’re capable of.
With the Z1000SX, Kawasaki seems to have hit upon the right recipe and its sales success speaks for itself – since its launch in 2011, it’s consistently been one of Kawasaki UK’s top three sellers.
