- Start date
z1000 has some amazing power i love it!!!
stock is has valves to lower the tq in the low end so you dont go right over haha mine are coming out asap
i hate naked bikes...
Street Triple is the ugliest bike i have ever seen in my life...
FZ1... not a fan ether
But that z1000 wow now thats a nice looking bike it really dose not look naked to me it has a fair amount of fairings and the frame blends into the bike golly shes a beauty!!!
The stock FZ6R is a turd...
get rid of some weight, put a full TBR pipe on and a PCV with a good map coupled with a intake mod and now you have a totally different bike
the thing is i spend to much time on the FZ6R with my throttle pinned i wanted something more.... something scary something to keep my from being TOO brave on that bike.... hello z1000 hahaha
Good luck in your search man!!!

I agree about naked bikes, never been a fan. But man the z1000 is sexy. Still think I'll go with the faired version (ninja 1000). May change again before I upgrade. LOL

the only real difference is the wind protection and the z1000 is 20lbs lighter

Here comes the boner again!!! LOL She's a beauty... I got the college $$$ secure for my wife now. Partly because I file as single all year on my tax then by the end of the year $$$. And my wife is a full time student, paying out of pocket is a nice tax break too.
So my next bonus is going towards my new ride (got a wife a new car this year... got it cover!) Can't wait...
LOL! My wife would blow the f**k up if I got rid of my 6r right now. Just put my exhaust on and Chad's working on my retrofit. I'm thinking a year or so out for sanity sake.

which bike you lookin at, the Tuono?
those look niceee
The ninja 1000 also has the same position as the z1000.
What ^^^^^ he said...LOL!
so after thinking about the z1000 know i dont know what i want lol. I guess looking at a 1043cc bike scares me a little and found videos on how easy it is to lift that thing off the ground and may be thinking its not for me. I know ill be safe i always remember everything i learned in the MSF course and i can honestly say i dont get crazy on the motorcycle, i let all the other crazy ones on youtube do it for me lol.
So im looking at everything ive looked before, a supersport, cruiser, smaller naked like the FZ8. Ive ridden my bro-n-laws 06 R6 so i know i can handle that, but im back to square 1...

The other concern would be the lack of wind protection and tire useage. I tell ya, a good old 600SS will keep most riders happy for years, in fact my next bike may well be just another 600, I might try the new Ninja 636 just to mix it up. At one point I was thinking about a liter, but now I am kinda thinking more power is not really needed, the 600SS seems to be an endless progression for rider skills, so flickable and smooth that keeps it easy to ride, but with a fierce top end that I really still don't even live in yet. ~2yrs and 16K miles, and I still got plenty to learn from the gixxer 600.
yeah i hear you. i dont need a ton more power, i always told myself id never get into the 1000's but when i saw the z1000 i fell in the love with the styling but after thinking about it as much as i do want it, i dont need it and know its not for everyone, even myself.
i still love the 2010-13 GSXR600'sm thats what i wanted for my first ride but talked myself out of it due to price and power, and went with the 6R for less power to learn on. Im a little bigger set guy so a 250 would have bored me out real quick, i know cuz i rode my nephews and was in 6th gear within 5 sec and knew i wouldnt have enjoyed it.

I picked up a 2012 zx6r brand new out the door for 8600
well been looking online today at possible bikes as usually sundays no motorcycle dealer is open, except for Harley. But anyways I may have found another naked bike. 2013 Triumph Street Triple. Looks cool and has a good riding position and has power, but not crazy like the Z1K. Ill be taking a look at it on tuesday so we will see. its priced under 10K so it is under my budget.
Good buy!
Do the new Kawai's have ABS and DSC?I think u'll really like the GSXR600 b'cuz it's similar to the 6R- but much lighter and more power... But, honestly u won't go wrong with any of those 3 choices. i dont think u woukd have any trouble handling a liter bike either. It's basically like a 600 but with torque and power that's instantaneous- rather than power that spools up.
What is DSC? i couldn't find the answer in google searches. thank you for any info.Good buy!
