I'm jealous. I haven't even seem one in person yet. The local dealers can't seem to stock one.

I test rode the Z1000 and FZ1 the day before I bought my FZ6. I think the FZ1’s handling and performance was 10x better. In the looks department the Z1000 wins hands down.
OK! I found ONE dealer who has one in San Diego and I stopped in. They had the black and silver model, and it was beautiful! Sitting on the bike, it has a pretty small wheel base, like a ZX6r. It's compact but very comfy to sit on. I want! Would like to try it first of course.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'll take my FZ1 any day over the Kawi. But it would be fun to ride one to compare to mine. Have to wonder if Kawasaki can get close to Yamaha's fit and finish.

I was over at Boltons Kawasaki last weekend and they had this bike out the front... :drool: :drool:
Love that colour scheme.
If I get the Supervisors job I'm applying for, might just have to upgrade my bike

I prefer the Z750 to the Z1000. Sat one them both at the showroom last week - 750 suited me just fine
Maybe one day I'll actually test ride one :shakehead:

Nice looking bike, pity about the pipes.
If I was in the market for a naked litre this would be top of the list (based on what is actually available in this country!)

The Akrapovic pipes look great on the bike! Much better than whatever those stock things are supposed to be.
