Kawasaki GPZ 1000

Kawasaki GPZ 1000 is one of the models having liquid-cooled four stroke engine. Because of transverse four cylinders with four valves per cylinder, it can easily be considered as one of the good options for bikers.

This bike has a capacity of 997 with compression ration of 10.2:1. Its maximum power is 125 hp 91.1 kW at 9500 rpm and maximum torque is 10.1 kg-m 99 Nm at 8500 rpm. Its top speed is 255.5 km/h and fuel capacity is 21 liters.

By looking at these few specifications, you can actually judge how well this bike can perform on road. With a speed as high as 255.5 km/h coupled with impressive torque, it is one of the best bikes in terms of horsepower. Also, the fuel consumption is not bad at all.

When you will compare this bike with other models of Kawasaki, you will find that it has several good features which separate it from its counterparts. Especially, it is more than perfect in terms of speed and speed is all that matters for most riders. But, the only drawback of owning one such bike is that you will have to live with the excessive weight. As compared to other models, Kawasaki GPZ 1000 is fairly heavy and that’s something which makes new riders a bit skeptical about buying this bike.

Also, with 16in front and back wheels and low-profile tyres, road handling is not up to the mark. It however is more than sufficient especially after considering its excessive weight. Though weight can be an issue for some but there is absolutely no problem pertaining to speed. In fact, power can surge from 3000 rpm in an absolutely smooth manner. It means that you can touch the 10500 rpm mark without much ado.

The bottom line is that Kawasaki GPZ1000 is perfect in terms of speed but it may not be truly wonderful in terms of handling. This problem in handling is only because of its size and weight. It is due to this size and difficult handling that speed can also suffer on bends and rough roads.
