A thrill to look at. a thrill to ride. The Z1000 ?ˆ“ carving a powerful line as it cuts through the atmosphere and even as it stands still ?ˆ“ is one of those rare motorcycles that balance a distinctive aesthetic with an engine that pumps out arm-straightening power.

Completely redesigned two years ago. the Z1000's aggressive bodywork reveals the design team's attention to detail. The aesthetic showcase begins with a low-mount front cowl that slopes back radically. highlighting the Z?ˆ™s prow and. behind it. an adjustable instrument cluster featuring a multifunction LCD display covered by a trick-looking orange lens. The line-beam headlight's guts are integrated nicely into that angled cowl. Moving rearward. you come to a shapely fuel tank that?ˆ™s flared on the sides to let you grab it with your knees and that?ˆ™s trim at the back for a snug fit. The seat is low and narrow at the front to make ground contact easy. and flows beautifully rearward to end in a futuristically retro LED tail light behind a red lens. It?ˆ™s a thoroughly athletic shape. one sure to garner attention wherever it?ˆ™s ridden.

The heart of every naked bike is its engine. so Kawasaki engineers paid special attention here for maximum impact: Dual cams. Sixteen valves. 1. 43cc. Liquid cooling. High compression. A long stroke ?ˆ“ 56mm ?ˆ“ for instantaneous thrust. Six speeds. And digital fuel injection. It?ˆ™s all there. The result? This inline-four packs impressive horsepower combined with the sort of flexible. mid-range-heavy power delivery that pastes a silly grin on the face of anyone lucky enough to be aboard. From nearly any rpm. rolling the Z1000?ˆ™s throttle provides the kind of instant gratification most sportbikes just can?ˆ™t quite muster. all with a silky smooth. highly intoxicating response.

The Z features a wide range of new-think moto technology. including an aluminum frame similar to the ZX?„?-10R?ˆ™s that curves over the engine. cradling it from above. The design allows a narrow mid-section. which fosters a high degree of rider comfort and feedback in addition to keeping weight low and chassis rigidity high. The engine bolts solidly to the frame in three places. stressed-member-style. and there?ˆ™s also a rubber mount at the upper rear crankcase area for added vibration damping and torsional rigidity. The main frame and swingarm pivot elements are cast as a single unit. with welds eliminated wherever possible for a more aesthetically pleasing look. And the subframe is a lightweight aluminum die-casting. which is light. smooth and beautiful.
