|  Anybody Ride The Kawasaki Z1000? I want to get a sport bike as a second bike after I pay off my M50. I don't like the full fairing bikes cause I don't like to lay down on the bike like that. I have sat on all the naked bikes and I really like the SV650 and the Kawasaki Z1000. The kawasaki fits me a little better and has an inline four motor, but the sv650 is quite a bit cheaper. I like how they don't have any fairings at all too. Any opinions?

| For starters, don't assume a fully-faired bike is "laid down". There are many faired standards that have ergos very similar to a Z1000, like the VFR, Katanas, and any other bike that has tubular handlebars or aftermarket risers. I've never ridden a Z1000, but they're on my short list. I kept pace with one on the highway lasts year and was watching the bike more than the road, I think.

| Have you looked at the new Z750 to? It may be more in your price range and very similar to the Z1000. Not to mention, it's not a liter bike, so insurance will prbably be cheaper is that's also a concern. I am hearing great things about both the Z1000 and 750.
