Kawasaki Z1000 20082008 Kawasaki Z1000 specifications, pictures, reviews and rating |
| Kawasaki's profilation of this bike |
| Kawasaki upped the ante in the naked bike arena with the entrance of the Z1000. Beyond its muscular torque delivery and radical styling, the Z1000 dishes out a visceral riding experience. This purpose-built Kawasaki is equally at home in the garages of both practical motorcyclists — simply seeking a smile-producing weekend ride and owners desiring a bike that doesn’t fit the norm. |
