Kawasaki Z1000 2014

A Kawasaki Z1000 (2014) é uma afirmação contra a tendência eletrónica do seu tempo - e é exatamente isso que a torna especial hoje em dia. O seu caraterístico motor de quatro cilindros, a sua mecânica direta e o seu enfoque intransigente no essencial são um acorde numa época em que muitas motos se tornaram computadores.

Mas oferece uma experiência de condução autêntica de uma naked bike, aliada à fiabilidade japonesa e a custos de manutenção razoáveis.

Uma moto honesta e com carácter que continua a inspirar mesmo após anos e que cumpre o seu papel como alternativa emocional à era moderna digital.
