54 years 8 monthsMANGE TOUT! We’re in France for the launch of Kawasaki’s updated Z1000SX.
We’ll be riding it tomorrow and we want to know if there’s anything specific you want us to tell you about this latest version of Kawasaki’s best-selling sports tourer – so let us know in the comments.
The presentation is set to begin very shortly, so we’ll soon have a lot more detail on the bike, but here’s a quick recap of some of the changes Kawasaki’s made to this new version:
The 2017 Z1000SX has gained significant technological upgrades thanks to an inertial measurement unit, so it now boasts lean angle-sensitive traction control and cornering ABS.
To help in the comfort stakes, Kawasaki says the seats are more deeply padded as well, and the fairing is wider for better wind protection. It’s also got an adjustable double bubble screen.
