2010 Kawasaki Z1000 first ride & onboard

[@DIOLORCOLEN]

I think after a couple of cheap mods it would look good. I was impressed by the obvious pull down low in the rpm's. I picked the new FZ1 in 2007, but i did like the Z. this new one is a contender in the naked liter bike show. Kawi showed some balls with this Z.

[@kareldegrote1224]

my dad bought one, went for a drive yesterday! It was awesome! very fast

[@MrKink77]

I had a 250 but this bike will be my second bike. I'm a step up big time. But ill be a baby with it for the first 6 months

[@zaxosz]

Nothing loose, it the key fob (keychain) switching sides. Nice bike !

[@xplorwest]

@89powerup he didn't put it down, he just mentioned it's at a price point where it starts to compete, but still can't quite compete with the ducati. You'd be a fool to think at 16,000 USD compared to 10,000 USD that the two bikes are comparable. Ducati's come with brembo brakes, racing suspension, and make no mistake about it are meant for the track. The Z1000 wasn't made for the track, it was made for the road, and thats where he complimented it, you wouldn't want more than the z1000 onroad.

[@Unconnect3d]

I'm torn, I want it to sell well so they remain for sale in the US. But if it doesn't sell well, i'll get a better deal on one. I AM buying this bike. I like the fact that it's not got too much power, designed instead for fun - which we seemed to have forgotten about. So so sexy

[@jbrandona119]

@32MoRtAr Do you want fairings and an upright seating position, or a more track based, naked look? same exact engine in both.

[@Agjordao1]

Good video ! This byke is very crazy.

[@rheamdc21]

AWESOME BIKE! KAWI FOREVER!

[@label1177]

nice camera mount. SUPER sturdy

[@1234nan4]

cant wait to get one!!!! how many years of expeience riding do you have to have before you are allowed a 1000cc??

[@sam_p792]

lovely bike

[@nemmesis316]

i'm trying to get my lisence for the motorcycle but i have a question. are you allow to pass other vehicles on curves or hills since is a much smaller vehicle. i know that you are not suppost to pas on these areas but.?????????????????

[@alwaysasleep]

Wow. Pretty impressive styling and performance. The only thing I'm not too keen on is the instrument cluster. Kind of odd looking and hard to read. But I can't say too much without being on the bike and seeing it in person. It's hard to tell.

[@kmarvinleon]

Nice Bike, nice ride and wow nice review....

[@hangballas1]

Hey guys,where was this shot?? Was it in Cagliari....on the way too/from Villasimius?? Thanks

[@Kodiak31415]

It's MCN. What did you expect?

[@andypandyperkins]

@Theaerostar96 i have baught the z1000 2010, best descision ever, love it,

[@cbr900RR1977]

Nice ride, nice review.... Don't like the looks, but that's kinda personal!!

[@nimlil]

Looks like they started out in the middle of the hwy so it had to get warmed up to get there, plus the idle was low so it was probably warm. He is actually a very good test rider who has been around for a long time. Don't think kawasaki would let just anybody in to do a Release ride without checking credentials.

[@Jorskin24]

where is this road? i want it!

[@TrUeNaRaSvK]

Watch the clip for details of the new 2010 Kawasaki Z100 . Good acceleration on Z100 :D

[@x08]

the weight is 218mm?

[@Theaerostar96]

Help-Confused with CB1000r & Z1000.Which 1 would b better.

[@korefighter]

is he doing power wheelies in 3rd ?

[@piersremus]

@nemmesis316 the answer is no. bike or not you aply to the same rules of general driving.

[@kraskoillya]

Отличный Байк !!! Классный саунд!!!

[@rsscoyote]

linda moto

[@Sambob]

very similar design to KTM duke 990?

[@DuckwalkSupreme]

@frontier1701 The engine makes 130 coconuts and 100 newton-footballs of twisty-maroo. The seat hight is approximately one Hobbit, and it'll make .5 past lightspeed.

[@mahamza86]

I love it's styling!!! Still no match for BMW K1300R But that's in a different league

[@Unica05]

ZIEKTEWET! So SICK BIKE:D

[@rapidtightgroup]

Thinking of buying the kwak 1000,any one got any horror stories or are they worth a try.. two up most the time with just quick blast outs to the pub...

[@flipvidsonline2]

possibly my first bike

[@DuckwalkSupreme]

@frontier1701 And it has a top speed of purple.

[@blackbournrovers]

spettacolo

[@germanshepherdlover2613]

Lovely bike, but I keep getting drawn back to the Yamaha FZ1.....less plastic. Don't know which is the better bike though.

[@xristoslag1]

verry good...!!

[@Clintwoodz]

It cots about 7200Km/h.

[@ItsJakeTheBrake]

nice review, but please put a warning at the beginning saying never to ride like in the video.

[@ownTer]

@ labrador3473...are you high? Its an 2010...how the hell would we know about engine life?

[@charleso47]

@anandchakraborty ..... LOL... mm=millimeter... unit of length ml=milliliter.

[@DuckwalkSupreme]

@frontier1701 But I don't have that snazzy English accent they love so much. Plus, I ride a motorcycle about as well as a cinderblock swims.

[@2003z1]

Well thats cool, I respect your opinion.. it's "out there" in the styling dept. but like all Z1000's there are things that can be done to clean them up a bit... I would pull the plastic crap around the forks for sure, go with crg mirrors, FE, ect. And new pipes right away. The motor is tits! The only thing that eerks me is the cluster it is way too "spaceship". Still, I like it!

[@frontier1701]

WHAT??? The weight is 218 millimeters??

[@joselopesmiguel]

Nice bike........

[@pjdaprinz]

@Kovacs20003000 I know, my comment is supposed to be sarcastic. Obviously the bike doesn't belong on the racetrack, so the the closing argument "... but for the road it's absolutely brilliant" is pretty much redundant.

[@topher437]

Does look like a ktm.. i agree with taz8520

[@vortexela]

I believe he did...

[@joaquinR1stargate]

fucken cool !

[@2003z1]

Everybody repeat after me: Aloominium!!!! At 1:14 something comes loose, not sure what it is. I wish Honda would bring it's naked over here. People over here in the states are ignorant to naked's and 'fighters.... too bad. Aside from the Z I love the Tuono, it would be my first replacement for the Z (because the sound of a twin is nice!)

[@whatever1917]

Weight?? Fully fuelled? 218 mm???? :))))

[@skbkaz]

I liked it when the rider was 'ahem' cleaning the pegs :-)

[@apricotsnms516]

the Kawasaki actually might look pretty good in 30 years or so (as long as we still have petrol...)

[@andypandyperkins]

@khunopie mine cost 8499 i wish it was 72000

[@IcePickSnowmanzzzz]

HOLY SHIT!

[@HatchetGirl1990]

218 millimetres? o.o

[@steady2wheels]

@jkirkland2007 now i know they do things a bit funny up north... but did not know they had awesome weather and drove on the other side of the road... then again they are pissed most of the time up there and make love to close relatives from what i understand

[@navdrum001]

wow, it weighs 218mm!! thats light? i think?!?!

[@mahamza86]

@kalikaputra And you just say that you don't have respect for other people's opinion.

[@MarseJDj]

you can even start with a 1000 like me... its no problem just dont rush...

[@AnandChakraborty]

WTF? "Weight, fully fuelled is 218mm..." Doesn't he know that weight is measured in kgs or pounds and milliletres is a measurement for liquids? Mike setup was also terrible, I had to in fact reduce the volume of my speakers to the minimum when he was riding the bike... Loved the bike however. It not only looks and sounds great but seems to make good power, easily enough to pull wheelies on demand!

[@Unica05]

Could be, they have the same appearance when you look @ them, but you can't compare a european design to a asian bike, correct me if i'm wrong

[@awanbiru-ride]

weight fully fuel, ready to go....is 219 millimetres.

[@derekolsen999]

218 kg is what he meant. 480lbs roughly

[@DJLimez]

wheelie machine!

[@khunopie]

It will cost "7200 ponds"! What the hell is that in Kilograms?

[@skipintroux4444]

Apparently 218 millimeters.

[@frontier1701]

@DuckwalkSupreme lol... You should write their reviews.... Just as informative but much funnier!!!!

[@frontier1701]

@DuckwalkSupreme LOL

[@swanfaceduck]

why do numptys post video's of bikes and then play music as well so you can't hear the bike properly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pjdaprinz]

Get a grip, I was being sarcastic. It's a street bike. Of course it's going to suck more or less on the track. My point was the sentence "but for the street it's brilliant". That's what the f*cking bike was designed to perform on in the first place.

[@topeak]

the weight is 218 nillimetres!!! fuck thats a heavy bike lmao

[@pjdaprinz]

I was being sarcastic. See response to CallMeRom.

[@princeperry65]

218kg (mm's!) = 480lbs.

[@2003z1]

Piece of shit? Man I hope you have a MV or better to make that sort of comment. Me? never had any problems running away from clueless squids on a Zed. This thing with the right pipes is going to be sick.

[@kalikaputra]

@mahamza86 Dude your serious when you compared the zed with the K1300R? Oh shit mate,thats just dumb.Different league is right that Germanic shit more a cross between a war tank and a moto bike. Just say you don't have style and you don't know what looks nice and what doesn't

[@cbr900RR1977]

Notice what??!?! LOLOLOLOL

[@JerryWick]

still funny

[@abbass92]

ha yeah he did, im sure he means 218kg though

[@Langcf]

lame video...badass bike!

[@steady2wheels]

well i think the cb1000r is a heap and i hate honda's. Doesn't make it fact, makes me sound like an immature idiot i do suspect though

[@MissMan666]

MCN reviews are crap, they dont give much info on out on the bike at all. Just a noise ride(poor mike setup) and a few words..

[@cynic150]

Did he say millimetres instead of kilograms? And who's playing that horrible electric guitar on the back seat? I wish he would shut up!

[@hafizjamil]

headlamp looks ugly... streetfighter is much pretty..

[@QueenGoesYT]

Ugly and too heavy with 218mm

[@pjdaprinz]

"... but for the road it's absolutely brilliant..." Really? And I thought naked bikes are made for high speed races on race tracks. Common guys, get a grip on your reviews.
