Z1000SX MCN comparision test

[pitternator]

Its a nice bike for sure...but...Bike mags long term test showed up poor steering and suspension and crap panniers. I get annoyed at the thought of paying 9 k plus on a bike then finding out you need to spend a grand to sort it out !
My advice is still...buy the best gen1 you can find , which will be around 3 k, spend 1k on suspension and jet kits ...and it will piss all over the Z1000.... 8)

and you will still have 5k left to spend on something else !
