Kawasaki Other description

2012 Kawasaki Z1000 Super Futuristic, Super Fast, Super FunA thrill to look at, a thrill to ride. The Z1000 ¿¿¿ carving a powerful line as it cuts through the atmosphere and even as it stands still ¿¿¿ is one of those rare motorcycles that balance a distinctive aesthetic with an engine that pumps out arm-straightening power. Completely redesigned two years ago, the Z1000's aggressive bodywork reveals the design team's attention to detail. The aesthetic showcase begins with a low-mount front cowl that slopes back radically, highlighting the Z¿¿¿s prow and, behind it, an adjustable instrument cluster featuring a multifunction LCD display covered by a trick-looking orange lens. The line-beam headlight's guts are integrated nicely into that angled cowl. Moving rearward, you come to a shapely fuel tank that¿¿¿s flared on the sides to let you grab it with your knees and that¿¿¿s trim at the back for a snug fit. The seat is low and narrow at the front to make ground contact easy, and flows beautifully rearward to end in a futuristically retro LED tail light behind a red lens. It¿¿¿s a thoroughly athletic shape, one sure to garner attention wherever it¿¿¿s ridden.The heart of every naked bike is its engine, so Kawasaki engineers paid special attention here for maximum impact: Dual cams. Sixteen valves. 1,043cc. Liquid cooling. High compression. A long stroke ¿¿¿ 56mm ¿¿¿ for instantaneous thrust. Six speeds. And digital fuel injection. It¿¿¿s all there.
