    Pig ugli fookin mufflers though. And really there indeed is the rub with the Z1000, since 2004 Kawasaki have seemed to go out of their way to introduce more and more grotesque exhorst systems with each new edition. What ever happened to the simple beauty of the ZRX1200R exhust system. Hey you so called designers at Kawasaki Its a fookin Motorcycle Not a bleedin object of science fiction>>

    I've done quite a few miles on a 2003 model Z1000, my thoughts:

    - Seat padding was ok, but the cantered forward angle was hard to get used to and your legs are spread pretty far apart as you're sitting right atop the gas tank. I did not enjoy long distance trips on the Z1000 and the pillion has it worse, about as comfy as being stabbed back there.

    -Gas usage sat at 6L/100Km, as expected for a de-tuned sporty mill.

    -Stock mufflers got junked early in favour of a pair of Yoshi's. Sounds sexy as all hell and you SHOULD notice an improvement in the power delivery.

    -Rather peaky motors for naked bike purposes, does make onramps fun though, that front wheel really gets air at 7000RPM in 2nd or even 3rd.

    As sexy as it is, I hope you've infracted your own arse for embedding image of that size.

    Edit: It looks even better when you place your left thumb over the tail unit.

    Surprisingly perhaps, I've already checked out a number of "enhancement" options...

    Nah it just does not do it for me any way what colour do you call that? Monochrome? a speed triple looks well nicer than the ricer

    Go on. Monochrome is a lovely colour. Paul Simon even wrote a song about its qualities.
