Sexy Looks, Stunning Performance
Building on its already hard-hitting performance and provocative styling, the dial has been turned up to eleven for this year with radical looks and strong bottom-end performance to deliver maximum exhilaration.
Make no mistake, lying beneath the Z1000's skin is a hard-hitting, high performance sports bike that will take your breath away. Its engine, borrowing heavily from Kawasaki 's race-bred ZX-9R, packs 953cc of raw, fuel injected muscle, tuned for a mid-range hit that'll knock your socks off.
Turn some heads and bruise some egos today with the new Z1000.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
|
More Power Tuned to boost low-mid range performance, the big Z’s 1000cc in-line four produces massive amounts of muscle where and when it’s needed. The fuel injection system adds to the Z1000’s overall stunning performance. | |
|
More Control The strong chassis and sub-frame produce exceptional rigidity balance for truly outstanding feedback. The mass centralisation and rider ergonomics plus a fully adjustable inverted fork further enhance the Z1000’s already sharp and nimble handling qualities. | |
|
More Style The Z1000 commands a powerful physical presence. Pure aggression emanates from every curve and every line. One look at the radical styling of the Z1000 and no one can be left in any doubt of the mighty beast that lay within. | |
|
Big Stopping Power Radial-mount brake callipers and a radial-pump front brake master cylinder grip the huge 300mm front petal discs to produce incredible stopping power meted out with confidence-inspiring control. | |
|
Firm Grip on Reality With wheel dimensions carried over directly from Kawasaki’s ZX-9R sports bike and fat 17-inch radial tyres, the Z1000 boasts huge grip all round for maximum performance under acceleration, braking and cornering. | |
|
Control Panel Comprehensive instrumentation provides at-a-glance information through an analogue-style tachometer complemented by an LCD display featuring a digital speedometer, odometer, tripmeter, water temp meter, fuel gauge and clock. | |
