presentation of the Z 1000 SX City 2012
once the bike is on its stand, most of us are left with the helmet to carry around, sometimes under the elbow, sometimes in a bag. This is not the case for motorcycles equipped with a top-case. This appendage is available as an accessory from all the major manufacturers, and as standard on Kawasaki's CITY editions. The Z 1000 SX City offers all the virility of the eponymous roadster, a semi-roadster suit and bubble, and space for 39 liters of pizza, helmet, can of apple brut or other belongings. Just the thing to make you feel at home in town.
