Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a high-
The most critical point for a buyer is the gap in MOT records between March 2023 and September 2026. You must verify if the bike has been SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) or if tests have been missed. Request a full service history to ensure the 1043cc engine has had its required oil changes and valve clearance checks, as MOTs do not cover internal engine health.
Given the age of the motorcycle, check for any signs of corrosion on the frame and fasteners. Ensure the service book is stamped; if the history is missing, use this as a point of negotiation on the final price, as the cost of bringing a long-dormant bike back to full health can be significant.
Operating a 1043cc petrol engine involves higher fuel consumption compared to smaller displacement bikes, particularly in urban environments. Insurance groups for the Z1000 SX are typically mid-to-high, reflecting its power and performance capabilities.
Annual maintenance will include consumables such as tyres, brake pads, and chain and sprocket kits. Expect typical servicing costs for a large Japanese multi-cylinder engine. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, is approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Pay close attention to the braking system. The MOT failure on 2023-03-16 noted 'excessive fluctuation of brake effort' on the front brake; ensure the lever feel is consistent and there is no sponginess, which could indicate air in the system or worn components.
Inspect the electrical system, specifically the registration plate lamp, which caused a failure in March 2022. Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and the drive chain for signs of wear or rust, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for a period since its last recorded MOT in 2023.
This 2015 Green Kawasaki Z1000 SX has a recorded mileage of 29,344 as of March 2023. The MOT history shows two failures in 2022 and 2023, both of which were rectified within days to achieve a pass. With no aggregate model data available, the assessment relies on this specific vehicle's record of relatively low usage over its 11-year lifespan.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Kawasaki Z1000 SX to provide a model-wide comparison.
