Overview
The Kawasaki Z1000SX City is a 2012 sport tourer powered by a liquid-cooled, 1,043 cm³ four-stroke inline-four. It produces 110 Nm of torque at 7,800 rpm and weighs 228 kg.
The 823 mm seat can make getting both feet down harder for shorter riders, while the 228 kg weight takes more effort to maneuver at low speeds. Front and rear suspension adjustments let riders tune preload and damping, and the front brake uses dual 300 mm discs with radial-mount, four-piston calipers. The 18.9-liter tank gives the bike that much fuel capacity, though no range can be calculated without fuel consumption.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Adjustable suspension
The front fork adjusts for compression, rebound, and spring preload, while the rear suspension adjusts rebound and preload.
Strong front brake hardware
Dual 300 mm front discs and radial-mount, four-piston calipers provide substantial braking hardware for a 228 kg motorcycle.
Things to consider
Tall seat
At 823 mm, the seat can make steady footing at stops difficult for shorter riders.
Heavy at low speeds
The 228 kg weight takes more effort to maneuver in tight spaces and at walking pace.
