Australia's BikeReview has road-tested the 2026 Kawasaki Z1100. Its 1,099cc inline-four makes 100kW at 9,000rpm and 113Nm at 7,600rpm with a stronger low-to-midrange focus, while the reviewer praised handling that disguises its 221kg wet weight. Criticisms included wrist and knee discomfort on longer rides and reluctance to tip in on the 190/50 rear tire.

The spec sheet shows peak output falling below the old Z1000 to 100kW, but the 1,099cc engine now delivers 113Nm at 7,600rpm. I love that Kawasaki chose usable low and midrange for commuting and mountain roads over chasing the biggest headline number. Adding an IMU, cruise control, and an up/down quickshifter makes sense as a decade's worth of evolution.

If taller riders find the knee bend tight, would shorter riders actually be more comfortable?

A tested 380km from 17 liters makes touring realistic. Cruise control is a major addition too.

IMU-supported ABS and traction control add real reassurance to a big inline-four on public roads.

The equipment is good, but 221kg is not light. I want to test low-speed handling and pushing it around.

European rivals can be lighter, but if the standard chassis hides the weight, that changes the argument.

100kW is plenty if the low and midrange are strong. A usable inline-four for the street is welcome.

Delivering 113Nm at 7,600rpm is the key. The way it makes its numbers is more practical than before.
