Motorcycle specifications Kawasaki Z 1000 SX Tourer 2016 Cargo securing
presentation of the Z 1000 SX Tourer 2016
a cargo version of the Z 1000 SX roadster, the Tourer series has logically benefited from this Kawasaki's 2014 evolutions. Revised forks, a new rear shock adjuster, reworked braking, enhanced engine liveliness, KTRC traction control and, in the specific case of this version, revised panniers.
equipped with the Tourer pack, the Z 1000 SX can carry all its belongings well protected in inside panniers. Once you've reached your destination, the panniers can hold your helmets, so you don't have to lug them everywhere. Each has a capacity of 28 liters. And to make life even easier, the panniers can be opened with the ignition key. The Z 1000 SX Tourer also comes with a semi-transparent adhesive tank protector.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 4 reviews
I equipped it with an Ermax smoked high bubble (ugly but effective in the high position), LeoVince Evo mufflers and a Givi V47 top case on a Shad support. I now have a real GT with sporty performance
I don't have a one-pot Ninja, and my next bike will surely be a 2017-2018 with full LED and gear indicator, because I haven't found anything comparable on the sport-GT market
In short, a great bike - nothing but happiness! Rating : 5/5 Respond to Bullitt
There's no equivalent, because it's light, it's got a great engine and you can travel with it
It's got the dynamism of a roadster, a terrific sound and great protection. The seat is a little stiff, but frankly, that's the only complaint.
I'm off for another ride. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Vroum vroum
