Webike published a ride impression of Kawasaki's Z1100 SE. Kawasaki kept the Z1000's bore but extended stroke by 3mm, growing displacement by 55cc to 1,098cc, with the inline-four now making 136 PS and 113 Nm. A heavier flywheel, redesigned pistons, narrower intake ports and a revised cam profile were used to balance low-to-mid-range tractability with a sharper top-end pull.
