Bigger Engine Than Before
The Z1100 uses a 1099cc inline four with a 3mm longer stroke compared to the old 1043cc Z1000, gaining the same upgrades as the Versys 1100 and Ninja 1100SX.
SE Gets Öhlins And Brembo
The SE version features an Öhlins S46 rear shock adjustable for preload and rebound, plus Brembo M4.32 four-piston radial calipers described as the best braking feel from a Kawasaki in a very long time.
New Colour TFT Dash
A new 5-inch multi-function colour TFT dash with Bluetooth connectivity is controlled by new switchgear and features four riding modes: Sport, Road, Rain, and Rider.
Replaces The Z1000
The Kawasaki Z1000 ran from 2004 to 2020 before quietly disappearing, and the Z1100 now returns with a bigger engine, new electronics, and is available in two versions priced at £11,099 and £12,699 SE.
Cruise Control Standard
An easy-to-adjust cruise control is standard on both Z1100 models, described as a welcome touch to reduce fatigue on motorways especially on a naked bike.
