A friend of mine recently made a new bike acquisition, a brand new Kawasaki Z1000. He used to have the previous generation Z1000. He sold it and went through a few different motorcycles before deciding that he wanted to go back. This current model receives a displacement bump from 953cc to 1,043cc most of that from the addition of 5.1mm of additional stroke (previous bike's bore/stroke was 77.2 mm × 50.9 mm while the new bike has 77.0 mm × 56.0 mm) resulting in a modest 13hp increase in top end horsepower.
It's a difference the new owner can feel but at this time, the bike is still undergoing the break in process and hasn't really had the chance to let all 136 horses out to play.....yet.
