Z1000SX MCN comparision test

[lew600fazer]

I did a demo on a z1000 in 2010 before I bought the fazer , the one thing it was missing was a fairing , how does the z1000 compare to the z1000sx .

Same engine just a better all round bike not perfect but bloody close, the seat is absolutely crap when they are marketing the bike as a sports tourer.
Fuel consumption is as good as an FZ1 if not slightly better, like everything it is all down to the right wrist. Range for a 19ltr tank can be 135 miles ringing the neck out of it or best I achieved was 210miles just enjoying the French countryside, My TOM TOM proved to be a lying bastard telling me there was a station just down the road, Sunday in France is not a day to run low on fuel. Stopped in a village at a café and the owner of the local station opened up for me, 18.82 ltrs she took, squeaky bum time.
Having said that I was out on a run on Sunday and the guy that bought my old SX was with us, trying to keep up with the group mostly 1000cc bikes when we all fuelled up again I put in €1.00 more than the guy on my SX and I am on a FZ6 S2.
