indeed; also, the engines are different... either more displacement or very different setup/gearing (e.g. much lower redline but more low/mid end power; although I must admit the Tuono and S1000R pull REALLY hard all the way up to the rev limiter, tried both at the track and they are no joke)

I have a 2012 Z1000. I love it. LOVE it. Yes, if offered, I'd take any of these. Love the KTM like I've loved the Z, and always wanted one of each. Well, I can say I've had (2) Z1000s, same year, same colors. I think it may well be my favorite ride in all my decades of riding. It's also a bike that fits me better than any I think I've ever had. Maybe not the "best" of a bunch like this, but I love it. I love the looks too, and of each generation of them. I wish they'd make the 1k instead of filling two gaps with the 900, in fact.

Test rode all of these bikes. Coming from a GSXR 1000 I wanted a more upright bike with same amount of power but more torque. The inline 4s just had no soul and I knew I would get bored with them. So it was between the KTM and the the Tuono for that engine music. KTM felt like a cross between a motocross bike and a bull, great fun but the riding position not for me and too many expensive add ons! The Tuono simply moves the soul, relentless power and torque and the engine sounds orgasmic. The kind of bike you'll never want to change!....and the APRC is sweet!

The Aprilia, BMW, KTM are nice and all but.... they're all around 50% more cash. That's a serious price difference. The Tuono is my favorite, but I'd honestly have a hard time picking between the GSXS1000 and an extra $5,000 in my pocket or the Tuono.

What are your thoughts about the Z1000? I'm seriously considering buying it but I haven't had the opportunity to take one for a ride. I currently have an MT-09 and I'm looking for a "supernaked". Z1000 looks so frekin' sexy! I'm also very interested in the new MT-10 because of that amazing crossplane engine. I fell in love with that engine when I rode the bike. The downside of that bike is the looks, I can't really decide if it looks ugly or unique in a positive way. On the other hand the Z1000 looks absolutely gorgeous, but I have no idea what's the engine and handling like. It has about 15 hp less than the MT-10 but equal amount of torque on paper. So what are your initial thoughts about the Z1000?
@kornflakez8 жыл бұрын
Ta3kno personally, I love the look of the z1k. and I'm partial to Kawi. my buddy has the mt-10, but I haven't ridden it yet, so I can't speak about it. what I initially noticed when I sat on it, is that it feels big to me. wide tank... not sure why, but it feels portly. when I ride it maybe I'll change my mind

the Aprilia isnt really a naked bike is it... "it feels like a moto-gp racer" thats not what you are looking for on a naked bike, thats why you have super-bikes, and it is actually more like a faired super-bike with a raised handlebar... it is out of place with the naked bike group.

I've never ridden the Tuono but it sure looks a lot like a super-sport. Near identical to it's fully faired cousins. I also thought that Naked's were supposed to be synonymous with low-revving high-torque Twin engines, but apparently not. At any rate, I think the Tuono is closer to a super-sport than a Naked.

In Australia, my local dealership told me they will be getting the new Z1K and Z900 in a few weeks. Not sure about the Z1KR. I have since checked the specs of the Z1KR and I wasn't terribly impressed. Still the same 142bhp, with a Kerb weight of around 235kg. I thought they would have made it much more aggressive over the Z1K, but apparently not. :(
