Kawasaki Z1100

Kawasaki Z1100 Overview

The Kawasaki Z1100 suits riders looking for a powerful naked bike for highway and weekend use, rather than a light, simple commuter. Its 1,099cc four-cylinder makes 134.1 bhp and 113 Nm, while three riding modes, a quickshifter and traction control add useful control options. Dual-channel ABS helps prevent both wheels from locking during hard braking. The front and rear suspension are adjustable, so their settings can be tailored to suit the rider and conditions.

Its 221kg kerb weight is a notable trade-off. The Honda CB1000 Hornet is lighter at 211kg and more powerful at 155 bhp, though the Z1100 has more torque. The Triumph Street Triple RS is also lighter at 188kg and has better claimed mileage, at 19.5kmpl versus the Kawasaki’s claimed 18.5kmpl. The Z1100 is priced below both rivals, but has no under-seat storage.
