Kawasaki Z1000 2018

Kawasaki Z1000 2018

The Kawasaki Z1000 (2014) is a statement against the electronic trend of its time - and that is exactly what makes it special today. Its characterful four-cylinder engine, mechanical directness and uncompromising focus on the essentials strike a chord in a time when many bikes have become rolling computers. Yes, it does without modern Advanced Rider Assistance Systems and perfect wind protection. But it offers an authentic naked bike riding experience, paired with Japanese reliability and reasonable maintenance costs. The Z1000 is not a bike for data sheet junkies or electronics fans - it is a bike for people who still want to make their own decisions when rider. An honest bike with character that continues to inspire even after years and more than fulfils its role as an emotional alternative to the digital modern age.

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.
