If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

The problem with most Jap bikes is that they are under sprung. Most would be only sprung for around 75kg.

Kawasaki are the opposite.

The new Z1000 is a complete redesign. Has alloy frame,beefier swingarm,new wheels, 1043cc, 136bhp and more torque. Should be a weapon and cant wait to ride one.
The 2nd-most bad arse KBer.
The way i test the bikes out is how well it power wheelies.
I found the z1000 to wheelie alot easier than the z750.
When I accerlated away from the lights on the 1000 i was pushed back on the 750 it just went forward.
I will have to ride these bikes again!
Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

According to the manual for my bike, (Quote) The standard settings of the rebound damping force adjuster for an average-build rider of 68kg(150lb).You need to spring to suit your weight.
Hmm.
Yes it should be good to hear what independant reviewers have to say about it.
Kawasaki say they designed the new Z1000 to be a streetfighter bike from the ground up, rather than modify a ZX10 etc etc

I remember reading the Z750 is faster 0-60mph than the Z1000. Funny that.

Z1000: What the fuck is that?
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

I can vouch for that. Ernies no slouch in the twisties. I remember our run to East Cape and back, was a quicky and loads of fun and the Z1000 certainly handled all of that well and got along at a real good pace too.
In fact, I recall a rather slow last few kilomtres back to Whakatane because of a certain white line developing in the middle of the rear tread pattern of the Kawa
If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

Hey Beyond, Hows that 14 going.
Hardcore Biker
It's going very nicely thank you
Not been out much lately though as the weather has been pretty shitty and when it's been fine I've been working.

Seat comfort on the original Z1000/750 was non existent, you will find yourself sliding down the seat mashing your crutch into the tank.......A year ago my loaner for the day was a modern Z750, and the seat was just as bad!
On the subject of B-kings; the seat/tank is so wide your hips will ache like a hookers night shift......grunty, smooth but BIG. For a big bike the pillion seat is useless which is a real shame as they could be so much more versatile and usefull with a slightly wider focus.

My OPINION, okay? You know what that is worth. I don't like the cheap and nasty stock suspension on modern naked Kawasakis. I find it unnecessarily primitve and when pressing on it adds an element of random response that some people get a woody about. I don't.I can vouch for that. Ernies no slouch in the twisties.

That's damping not spring rate.
I went down in spring rate front and rear and I'm 50% heavier than the manual's rider.
