2009 MZ 1000 ST SuperTraveller Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in MZ's sport touring motorcycle lineup, the 2009 MZ 1000 ST SuperTraveller pairs a 999 cc (61 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 111.3 HP (81.2 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 98 Nm (72.3 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 111.4 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (9,000 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 1000 ST SuperTraveller measures 210 kg (463 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.53 HP/kg (1.89 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,445 mm (56.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
