Features

Subframe
You wouldn’t want engine vibration to intrude on the Z1000 experience. A carefully tuned
subframe ensures the vibes don’t get through to the rider.

Silencer
There’s an aggressively designed silencer on both sides of the Z1000, each with two exits.
Emissions regulations don’t have to compromise style.

Fuel tank
Enjoy plenty of range from the fuel tank, ergonomically designed to accommodate your knees
both for comfort and positive handling.

Instruments
Comprehensive dash provides at-a-glance information from the analogue rev counter and
digital speedo. (Red master key should be kept secure and separate from the motorcycle.)

Radial calipers
Powerful radial calipers, matched to competition-derived petal discs, make for assured,
powerful braking at all times.

Front forks
Adjustable upside-down forks not only guarantee class-leading handling, but you can tailor
the ride to suit yourself.

Rear shock
Adjustable to suit the way you ride and part of Kawasaki’s celebrated Uni-Trak rear
suspension system.

Swingarm
Pressed aluminium swingarm is just one part of the Z1000 package that delivers faultless
handling.E
