Touring Bike reviews

This is a great motorcycle. I've had it a couple years. It's like a new bike. The owners manual and tools are still in the sidebar. Even the trailer manual is there. The new tires haven't been broke in yet. Nothing is wrong with the bike. It turns heads everywhere I've been. Show less

Absolutely gorgeous motorcycle. The ride is very responsive and very smooth. The motorcycle provides perfect balance of power and performance. The bike looks amazing and is incredibly athletic specially for its size. Show less

1983 Kawasaki GPZ1100 Review The 1983 Kawasaki GPZ1100 is a legendary machine that marked a significant milestone in the evolution of superbikes. With its bold red color and sleek design, it was a head-turner right from the start. But the GPZ1100 was more than just a pretty face; it was a powerhouse on wheels. Performance and Engine: Under the hood, the GPZ1100 packed an air-cooled, fuel-injected, DOHC 1089cc inline-four engine. This beast delivered impressive power, thanks to several top-end changes introduced in 1983. The combustion chamber was redesigned to a polyspheric shape, allowing for larger valves and a higher compression ratio of 9.5:1. The result? More power and better performance1. The engine’s straight-cut primary drive and five-speed transmission ensured smooth power delivery, making the GPZ1100 a joy to ride. The bike’s midrange power was particularly noteworthy, providing a smooth and responsive ride without the abrupt rush of top-end power seen in some competitors2. Handling and Suspension: Kawasaki equipped the GPZ1100 with advanced features for its time, including anti-dive forks and a single-rear-shock suspension. These race-proven components contributed to the bike’s stable and predictable handling, especially at high speeds. However, some riders found the handling a bit heavy at lower speeds, a trade-off for its high-speed stability. Design and Comfort: The GPZ1100’s design was both functional and stylish. The frame-mounted half fairing, sweeping lines, and red wheels with polished aluminum highlights gave it a distinctive look. The cockpit was designed for functionality, offering a comfortable riding position for long journeys. Legacy: The 1983 GPZ1100 was Kawasaki’s statement of intent in the superbike arena. It was a bike that combined power, style, and advanced technology, setting a benchmark for future models. While it faced stiff competition from Suzuki’s GS1100 and Honda’s CB1100F, the GPZ1100 held its own and remains a beloved classic among motorcycle enthusiasts. Whether you’re a fan of vintage bikes or just appreciate a well-engineered machine, the 1983 Kawasaki GPZ1100 is a testament to Kawasaki’s commitment to performance and innovation. Show less

https://www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-reviews/kawasaki/zx-10r/2004/ The Kawasaki ZX-10R is sold as the ultimate track bike – the 2004/05 ZX-10R was one of Kawasaki’s first machines after the firm gave itself a kick up the arse in 2002. The 10R’s one wild ride and an absolute weapon in experienced hands. It’s light, makes massive power and handles superbly on the track – a bit of a handful on the road though. 2004-2005 Kawasaki ZX-10R C used buyers' guide The original, hardcore ZX-10R took the world by storm. Light at a quoted 170kg dry with an arm-ripping 181bhp according to Kawasaki, it was always going to be lively and attract a certain type of customer. Nick Morgan team owner of MSS racing simply describes the original bike as, “bloody brilliant bike, 160bhp stock, 175bhp with a fettle and a great chassis”. Back in ‘04 it came with radial brakes on petal discs, fully adjustable suspension front and back and digital dash with lap timer. It was aimed at the racy, track day public and proved to be a big hit. Show less

By far the best motorcycle I have ever ridden. With its light weight and pure power, it’s the perfect all around bike. The adjustable suspension settings, cruise control, abs, and so much more make Aprilia’s Tuono the best all around sports bike on the market Show less

This is my third FJR1300. I absolutely love it. The only reason I'm selling it is because I bought a newer one to replace it. It has Avon Storm tires, frame sliders, Cee Bailey windshield, OEM side bag liners, owners manual and shop service manual. Also fender extender, and maintenance records. Show less

Great bike that can start you off and carry you for a few years with some room to grow. Makes smooth, even power, and gets good fuel economy (about 44 mpg on my commute). Not so good for much taller riders (I’m 76” and it would be a little uncomfortable after an hour on the saddle). Easy to service, very reliable, modern fuel injected bike. Forgiving but confident handling and good ride quality. Bike is nice and stable and instills confidence in the rider. Inputs are all well calibrated and the bike feels natural to interact with.
