Kawi z1000
 

Why doesnt anyone stunt them? They look damn near stuntable, stock. And they are dirt cheap. Am I missing something besides the fact thery're old fogie bikes?

Re: Kawi z1000
 

shit motors

unavailable parts.. aftermarket and used

heavy as hell

Re: Kawi z1000
 

I actually got a chance to ride one, and i seriously loved it. Ithink it would make a bad ass stunt bike if you wanted to fab up all your own parts for it. I don't know what the dry weight on it was, but it definatly didn't feel that heavy. Had a pretty good balance point. I *think* but don't remember for sure, but isn't it carburated? Other wise the only problem i would see is buyin parts for it....

Guy came out on a mint z1000 last week to our spot and looped the *****. Fell off and the bike kept going until it fell over.

Armenian: "Did you use your rear brake at all??"
Z1000 guy: "huh?"
Armenian: "DOH!! LOL"

They look dope. That's all I know.

Re: Kawi z1000
 

Rode one and didnt like it, was cool and had some decent power but not my thing.
Felt like I was sitting in a chair straight up, but I dont like dirt bars anyways :2cents

Re: Kawi z1000
 

i think they are alright but yeah no parts only sucky part other wise i would whip one :2cents

Re: Kawi z1000
 

i must say z1000 are decent stunt bikes and 905 makes a crash cage for them

Re: Kawi z1000
 

probably the coolest set of stock pipes EVER produced!

Re: Kawi z1000
 

I had one. Great torque. As someone above said, just get a 905 cage or have someone custom-make one for you. Same motor as a ZX9, only bored out a bit more and fuel injected. The pegs are one big assembly, so you don't want to break them or you'd have to buy a new one from the dealer (very expensive) since so few of them are around. They come factory with dirtbike bars and they have a lot of interchangeable parts with 636's and ZX9's. They are a bit heavy though. I think dry weight is around 437 lbs -- about 65 pounds more than an F4i. I loved mine. It's probalby one of the most comfortable bikes around. Other than crappy sit-downs, I never stunted it, so I can't comment on how stuntable it is.

They would suk for stoppies cuz they only have one adjustable fork. The other is dead.

Re: Kawi z1000
 

how about the uni frame no subframe one bad 12 and $$$$ for a new one

Re: Kawi z1000
 

I rode one.. it was fun as hell

Re: Kawi z1000
 

I thought I remembered some dude murderin one in a video a while back....some cats from the East Coast.....Carolina's maybe...Out On Parole? Anyone else remember.

Anyways, that dude was pullin slow shits, long(er) stoppies, tank tricks, etc...

I've always liked 'em, but I'm a Honda guy, so I never got one.

Wasn't there a french guy with a nice special painted ziggie ?? Red and blue, a bit like Darius Bike... He does circels, and all the sick combo's and stuff...

So the bike can be stunted ! :YAEH And about the weight, **** that, E-dub stunted a F3, and I do to, those things are heavy as F*ck, but if you get used to it, it doesn't bother you at all... just my :2cents
