2012 KAWASAKI Ninja ZX1000GCF, Sharing a platform with the naked Z1000, the Ninja 1000 is powered by a purpose-built, liquid-cooled, transverse in-line four that displaces 1,043cc, an engine that combines the performance of a sportbike with the civility of a sport tourer. Dual overhead cams actuate four valves per cylinder and dual counterbalancers keep everything reciprocating smoothly. Vibration is negligible at cruising rpm, but a high-frequency buzz begins to creep through the footpegs, tank and grips as revs increase. Throttle response is flawless, power delivery is linear and torque is broad and generous. Air intake ducts positioned near the rider and an airbox resonator work together to provide a wailing intake howl at higher revs, and the 4-2-prechamber-2 exhaust layout, with stubby dual-tip silencers on both sides of the bike, is tuned just right, loud enough to be exciting without being annoying. Both the brake and clutch lever are adjustable and the transmission shifts seamlessly.“Financing Available here through CUDL” (Credit Union Dealer Link)
