Yeah that's gonna be thirstier so let's reduce tank volume. What a great idea....

I must admit, I have seen this bike in the flesh 3 or 4 times now & have been very impressed. Great looking bike with glowing reviews.
I had a good look at it when I was at the festival of speed a few weeks ago.
One thing I didn't like was the potential for major damage to the unprotected oil filter & lower radiator hose (see pics 1) wouldn't take much to spoil a big trip.
And why don't they fit 90degree valves on new bikes. There is no way you can inflate this at a petrol station, it's ridiculous.
Would still have one in my garage though.

agree sweaty. hose n filter would worry me. they look good but in real life not a gsx14/honda 4 / kawa 900. probably ride better but not on my list.

Didn't take long.

Now if that turned up at Cradley Kawasaki as a production bike I would be very interested.

The Z1000 mkII is the bike I always wanted but never got to own. I'm not bothered about the supercharger, I'm not a go-faster merchant, but the overall styling is sublime.

Totally agree..
I loved the original 900 with the 4 exhausts and upright bars..
Still see a couple of mint ones at my local bike meets.
