2010 Kawasaki Z 1000, I purchased this 2010 Kawasaki Z1000 from SRS Motorsports in Greensboro, NC in April 2014. Although a 2010 model, this bike had never been registered (tags) before that date. The odometer showed 0 miles. Im the original and only owner. The full-factory warranty is good until April 4, 2015, unlimited mileage. The 2010 model is the first year of the current generation Z1000. It is not an old technology bike; it is very similar to the 2014 model. The bike is comfortable to ride. The riding position is almost completely upright, not crouched like a Super Sport bike. The furthest I have ridden the bike continuously is ~140 miles, with no discomfort. The engine is a 1043cc, claimed 136 hp, inline 4. It is the same engine that is in the Ninja 1000. The engine is tuned for low to mid-range torque. It is very tractable around town. It has a 6-speed close-ratio transmission, but around town it probably could get by with just 3 speeds. Of course, high rpm horsepower is there when you want it. The bike weighs 461 pounds and is balanced to where it has a light feel to it. Im the original owner as stated above, and I am the only person who has ridden the bike. No passengers either. As of this posting, the odometer reads 1982 miles. I am 55 years old and my squirrely days are over. I keep the bike in a building with heat and a/c. I can only remember 1 time that the bike got rained on. There are no dents or scratches. The only trouble I have had with the bike was a failed radiator fan, which was replaced under warranty at SRS. Also, the 600 mile service was done at SRS. According to them, the next service is at 8,000 miles, I have not verified that. The only modification is a taller windscreen (genuine Kawasaki accessory). I have the original windscreen. It takes 4 screws to change. Also, I have a factory service manual ($89) that goes with the bike. $7,900.00
