KAWASAKI Z1000 1043 (2012 - Present) Description & History: The 2012 Kawasaki Z1000 model is a naked bike powered by a 1043cc engine which can deliver up to 138 PS. This model comes with an aluminium twin-tube frame inspired by the acclaimed 2010 Ninja ZX-10R and sporting a narrower profile which is lighter and offers better ergonomics and steering.
Cast, 5-spoke wheels and large petal rotors for both the front and the rear wheels are complemented by the adjustable suspensions. A quad-style dual silencer system makes the 2011 Kawasaki Z1000 look aggressive and sporty.
The fuel tank is also derived from the supersport bikes, but has been trimmed for a meaner, edgier look, matching the overall design of the 2012 Z1000.
