This is a Kawi Z1000. Talk about a cool streetfighter. Of course, this isn't what it looks like when you roll it off the showroom, but if it did it would have been a tuff decision for me to make when I was bike shopping. It would be sweet to have a litre bike that is still set up for torque like this one is.    | ||

oooo.. That is damn sexy. Not as sexy as a Buell! Where did those headlights come from? CityX Ninja? I like that tail... | ||

They are cheap too, as many people didn't like them. I can tell you that the engine is great, and bullet proof, I had the same power plant in a ZX-9. | ||

It looks better than stock! The pipe (4-1-2-4, double pickle fork) on the stock bike was a love it or hate it design too. | ||

Um... aren't those the Lightning headlamps? I swear, it looks just like them from every angle! | ||

Sweet bike. Yes, those are the Lightning headlights, complete with CityX guard. | ||

I looked at them when I was last shopping (bought the XB12Ss). As Olinxb12r says, they should be set up for torque. Trouble is, they ain't. It's a sports bike motor and it hasn't been retuned. It's a top end screamer. The suspension is low rent and the standard exhaust is very restrictive. Could be turned into a project, but the XB12Ss was better out of the showroom. Klink | ||

Looks tough! I'm after the same handlebar setup as this for my XB12S. ie. fairly flat with a slight sweep back. Can anyone give me an idea on what 'model' bars I should be looking for? (would these be 'drag' bars?) Superbike bars etc, seem to have 3"-5" of rise in the bar, so don't look much different to stock. If anyone knows of a particular brand and model, that would be great. Thanks. | ||

Captain Many of the Bad Webbers here have Azonic CR lows, (I like those) and I think the Renthal Ultra lows may also be to your liking. Check out American Sportbike in the sponsor section for the Renthals. | ||

A nice Z1000SX! | ||

I like the stock fairing and exhaust on that bike better, but apparently it's just me??  | ||

Freezerburn, thanks for that. The Azonic's were my first choice, but they are not available locally. The international postage is quite prohibitive (read ridiculous) for a handlebar! If anyone knows of a good source for the Azonics, it might help me once postage is added. I might be able to order the Renthals, although they bend more than I was hoping for. I actually prefer the flatter bar up on risers look; gives the bike a more flat-tracker aggressive stance. I think I'll check out some drag bars and risers. |
