Overview
The Kawasaki Z1000 ABS SE is a naked motorcycle produced for 2015. Its liquid-cooled, 4-stroke inline-four displaces 1043 cm³ and delivers 111 Nm of torque at 7300 rpm; the bike weighs 221 kg.
The 1085 mm seat height puts the rider high above the ground and can make putting both feet down difficult. The front fork adjusts for compression, rebound, and spring preload, while the gas-charged rear suspension adjusts for rebound and preload, allowing suspension setup to be tailored to rider and road. Dual 300 mm front petal discs provide braking at the front, and the 17 L tank sets the fuel capacity without establishing a range.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Adjustable suspension
Compression, rebound, and preload adjustment at the front, plus rebound and preload adjustment at the rear, give riders ways to tailor suspension behavior.
Strong stated torque
The 111 Nm peak at 7300 rpm gives the 1043 cm³ inline-four a clear torque figure to draw on during acceleration.
Dual front discs
Two 300 mm front discs provide the front braking hardware.
Things to consider
Very tall seat
At 1085 mm, the seat can make it difficult for many riders to reach the ground comfortably at stops.
Weight at low speed
The 221 kg weight can take more effort to maneuver in parking lots and other slow-speed situations.
Chain final drive
The sealed chain needs cleaning and adjustment over time, unlike a shaft drive.
