1000 Reasons To Ride

1000 Reasons To Ride

Date: 2014-12-19

Aggressive and with a mission to fight for supremacy in the competitive Supernaked class, the Z1000 from Kawasaki is forthright, uncompromising and, above all, distinctive. Distilling the Z concept further still, this is Kawasaki Sugomi design at its purest.

Put simply the Sugomi philosophy - which was first used to great effect on the Z800 and Z800 e version - encompasses every aspect of the styling and engineering approach. Using such evocative terms as awesome, imposing, exuding presence and awe inspiring for inspiration, it is a distillation of all of these, carefully combined to create the ultimate Z.Put simply, the Sugomi approach is conceived to be experienced by the rider in terms of the whole Z1000 riding experience both visually and in respect of engine character and chassis response.

Stripped down, naked and with almost primeval intent, the latest litre class Z expresses this Sugomi design philosophy with a feline character underlining the intimidating presence that has come to define the successful Kawasaki Z line.Taking Z power to the next level, this incarnation of the Z1000 features an uprated engine with more power, more torque and, fittingly, even greater instant throttle response than ever. Not only is there more power and urge, but now the way it is delivered is even more stimulating.

The feline stance of the Z1000 entices you to climb aboard and experience a forward-inclined riding position with large tube aluminium handlebars, stylish wide mirrors and an upgraded LCD meter arrangement totally in-keeping with the focussed personality of this premier Japanese Supernaked machine.

Come to East Coast Motorcycles and take our demo Z1000 for a test ride. Call them on 031 566 3024 or visit them at 10 Meridian Drive, Umhlanga Ridge.
