Rider Profile

Best ForBest for experienced riders; the 140hp inline-four and aggressive power delivery are a handful for novices despite friendly ergonomics.
PurposeAggressive street naked built for spirited backroad blasts, canyon carving and confident urban riding with a big-bore punch.
Rider FitUpright, sporty stance with 815mm seat, wide bars and firm sportbike suspension. Roomy for its class but leaned slightly forward.
CharacterMuscular, hooligan super-naked with a howling inline-four, sharp styling and eager throttle. Refined yet raw and full of attitude.
Not Ideal ForNot for beginners, dedicated long-haul tourers wanting wind protection, or anyone seeking off-road ability or a laid-back cruiser.

2019 Kawasaki Z1000 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2019 Kawasaki Z1000, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
