Kawasaki Z1000 2009

Kawasaki Z1000 2009

Kawasaki did well to rethink and rebuild the Z1000 from the ground up. It was given a dark soul whose roots lie in the (un)good old days, but it seems more genuine and cohesive thanks to its independent development. Kawa did justice to itself and the wishes of its customers to a high degree. All in all, a courageous product for courageous riders.

powerful appearance

much comfort

optimal chassis
