MZ 1000S is a 998 cc 180-degree parallel twin motorcycle produced between 2004 and 2007 released in the USA in 2005[2] by the now defunct German company MZ Motorrad. Once the flagship of the range, the 1000S was MZ's largest-ever displacement motorcycle, and their first multi-cylinder bike since 1959. The MZ 1000S was the most powerful production inline twin cylinder engine worldwide.[3]
