Hey Everyone!

Trying to get a good sense on the average size (height) of Z1000 Owners. I am 6'3 and considering picking up a new 2011 z1000 - any information would help. Thanks!

 

[BeastIncarnate]

I'm 6'. The latest generation Z1000 is about as accommodating as a sport bike gets.

6-1 200 lbs [long arms]. my 04 Z1000 is very comfy on long rides. my friend has a 2010 it also is comfy. closest thing you will find to a real sport bike and comfy. i also have been on a B KING also comfy. i prefer the looks of the KAWA.

i am 6' 180 I love this bike, fits like a glove, but I lowered the front an inch so it steers faster

 

[Surfcleanlines13]

Awesome thanks a lot guys! The info is really helping. Would love to see a photo of someone my size or close in riding position from the side. Keep the good info coming!

Christ - looks like I am short and fat compared to you guys! LOL!!

5'9", 175lbs. I swear some of it is muscle!

 

[tomohawk]

6'1" 215lbs. My '03 fits me perfect. The occasional cramp in the hip flexor, but usually only when I'm a little dehydrated.

Hey So-Crates, sounds like you fit your namesake perfectly then!

I do. My name is Tom, and I have a mohawk.

2010 Z Im 5' 7" 147lbs Love it a little room to move for and aft.
The bike feels alot smaller than my 99 sv650..but the sv feels roomier.
Hope this helps....Peace

I'm 5'8 and around 165. Fits me very well. Maybe a TOUCH tall, but totally livable.

5'6" 220 fits me well just a little tall. but after 4 1/2 years with a zrx 1200 i was used to it

 

[ridingswitch]

2010 Z1000.....6'1 180 and fits great. Not alot of seat room through.

 

[Surfcleanlines13]

Thanks guys for all your help!!!!

6' 5", 255. Bars wee a tad low and pegs a tad high for me ('06Z). I added some risers that that helped a lot. Switching from a cruiser to a Z takes a bit of getting used to. Great bike, though.

 

[Curtie223]

5' 10" 210lbs I love it!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bikeazoid]

6'3 at 189, position is as perfect as my GSXR1k isn't, the wind protection makes me feel like a barn door skydiving, sometimes. Sometimes it's perfect. My 15th bike and I have never had this variation of wind protection before, depending on head wind, it can feel like I'm in a bubble, or in a wind tunnel testing jets. Legs allways feel great.

I am going to start a new thread on wind protection and the CA windscreen I just got.

6'0" 180lbs...my 07 is just right for me

 

[rkrayton2000]

I'm 6 foot 165 pounds best sport bike ergos I've ever ridden. Watch my friends suffer on longer rides with their gixxer's. To me the bike rides like a ninja 650r with more power and a narrower seat

 

[Paul]

5' 9" and the 06 fits me just right........

 

[yepimabiker]

6' 1" 270 lbs love the 07 Z just had to change the seat and it was good for all day rides.

Which seat did you go with?
