Bitter Sweet Day New N1K

Yes in character it is most similar to my Gen 1 FZ-1, which was another fantastic bike, which is why. I'd be glad to have one as a solo sport tourer. Power on the K bike is fantastic and in the right place, more mid range rather than on top. I think for 15 they also added additional rubber engine mounting, but I could be wrong n that. Correct me if I am CIP.

I know there where changes to the 14, traction control, Cams, and ECU changes to add HP and lower end torque and the following::

I did a search and can not find changes in the 2015, if you find something let me know.

Edit: Found it: Was added to the 2014 model year:

The Ninja 1000 features an advanced aluminum frame similar in design to the Ninja ZX-10R’s. The lightweight assembly curves over the engine, cradling it from above and bolting solidly to it in three places, with a rubber-backed fourth mount provided for added vibration isolation and torsional rigidity.

Perhaps straying *slightly* off-topic, but Traction Control !

I'm 100% sold on the electro-mechanical rider aids that are getting added to motorcycles nowadays.

The other night it was unexpectedly wet out and I had a ride home to do on the ZX14 (also in green BTW, my first green colored bike, love it). It hadn't been wet for at least a month. Couple that with steel trolley tracks to cross and I was feeling a bit nervous about losing traction and doing a low-side so I dial up power 'LOW' and traction control '3' (the setting with the most intervention).

Sure enough I had to roll over a set of tracks and I felt the traction control intervene and interrupt the engine as the bike crossed the tracks.

I am *sure* that it probably saved me (and if it didn't, I probably don't want to know !)..

Cool stuff these modern bikes !
