Default Kawi Z1000 Streetfighter

What up guys. I posted a few months back when I purchased the bike. I have added a few upgrades so here is the latest pics of my baby girl. I added Scorpion Slip-On Race Pipes, removed KLEEN air System, K&N Air Filter, Power Commander, Custom padded side covers, Modified Air-Box, fender eliminator, short stock L.E.D. signals.

Side Shot


Rear shot, notice my small chicken strips?


Full Frontal


Another *** shot

Yeah they are huge. I really like the z1000, even with the single headlight (which I don't normally like). If I ever get a nekkid bike, it's gonna be one of these. Nice ride man

Thanks guys. I fixed the pics to somewhat smaller size. I love this bike man, hauls *** and do not regret it one bit that I picked this bike. I find myself staring at it all the time in the garage.

How hard would it be to convert it to clipons? I never really like the feel of the nekkid moto x style bars.

It wouldn't be too hard, I have seen a couple kits however I like the bars. It compliments the riding position well. I'm not hanging over the tank or have my feet pinned back so I can ride a little longer comfortablly than say a gixxer or CBR. That was one of the reasons I picked this bike as I wanted some comfort in addition to looks. But the bike is naked so I do get a lot of wind blast.

You can find great deals on used ones. Best thing of all is that insurance companies classify this bike as a street bike and not sport so cheaper rates.

I think that is the best looking naked bike out there now. The SV was the best prior to this bike coming out.

It looks like it hauls major ***...

What's the HP/TQ numbers on these puppies?

I want to say 125hp and about 73 or so torque? I'm not sure exactly but the engine is from the old zx9r motor that was bored out to 953cc. Yes indead it hauls ****, just have to be responsible.
