Positioned in Kawasaki's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2017 Kawasaki Z1000 Sugomi Edition pairs a 1043 cc (63.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 140.1 HP (102.3 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 111 Nm (81.9 lb-ft) at 7,300 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 134.3 HP per liter and a 2,700 rpm working window between peak torque (7,300 rpm) and peak power (10,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Z1000 Sugomi Edition measures 223 kg (492 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.63 HP/kg (1.59 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,435 mm (56.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
