2010 Kawasaki Z 1000, BAM! POW! SAVE THOUSANDS BUYING PRE-OWNED... EXTREMELY LOW MILES AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION! The Z1000 or often referred to as the Zed-1 now uses its very own 1043cc liquid-cooled Inline-Four engine. Kawasaki claims this new engine utilizes its own architecture and is not based off either the previous bikes 953cc ZX-9R-derived motor or the current one found in the Ninja ZX-10R. The 90cc bump in displacement is calculated via a slightly smaller bore (77.0 vs. 77.2 mm) and a larger stroke (56.0 vs. 50.9mm). Despite the added piston stroke, the engine s exterior dimensions are almost the same as before.
