Description

Kawasaki Z 1000 – models from 2003 onwards

At the INTERMOT 2002, Kawasaki presented its excitingly styled and boldly coloured Z 1000 as an ideal mixture between street fighter and naked bike. Kawasaki fans were particularly impressed with the refined 4-way exhaust system which harks back unmistakeably to the classic Z 900 from 1972. Kawasaki not only made its mark on the still young 4-cylinder market with this legendary 4-stroke bike but left its competitors eating its dust. Today’s Z 1000 is no longer either the most powerful or the fastest machine on the market, but it does combine power, elegance, strength and quality like hardly any other. Notwithstanding its self-confident approach, it primarily wants to be seen as a sporty universal motorbike that is a faithful servant to its owner over many years when cared for properly. But despite optimum maintenance and care, there can be times on the streets of this world when a problem crops up and there is no Kawasaki workshop nearby, and for that this book was written.
