KawasakiZ1000

Description

TAILOR-MADE SUPER NAKED
Bold and refreshing, the stunning all new Z1000 is based on an entirely “clean sheet” design process. Huge visual impact and minute attention to detail combine in Kawasaki’s greatest ever Streetfighter style machine.

The new Z1000 takes the aggressive styling of its predecessor a major step forward.
From the sharply sloped front cowl design – made possible with the slim new line-beam
headlamp – to the minimalist tail section, the new Z1000 presents a very condensed,
“mass-forward” image.
This dynamic design is reinforced by the front fork covers and wide shrouds adorned with
intakes for the new Cool Air system. Where its predecessor formed the image of an
athlete poised to explode out of the blocks, the new Z1000 gives the appearance of a
ominous predator feigning sleep –
menacing and ready to leap forward without a moment’s hesitation.
