Kawasaki gave it the ol’ college try in 2003 when it created the original Z1000 and hoped riders in the states would take to it like the company knew the European market would, and indeed did.
It seemed to have all the right ingredients: Ninja ZX-9R-sourced engine with a 2.2mm overbore for a 953cc inline Four; 17-inch wheels ready for sportbike rubber; upright ergos with a one-piece motocross-type handlebar for a comfortable seating position that allowed aggressive handling; and styling was equally aggressive.
However, it was a sales flop in America. Were it not for the devotion of the powers that be at Kawasaki Motors Corporation, Inc, in Irvine, CA, the Z wouldn’t have seen the light of day in the U.S. in ’07.
Despite big updates to styling as well as various functional items for 2007 for the Euro market, like radial-mount front calipers and improved bottom-end power, the Z wasn’t slated for us. Yet, upon seeing the new bike in Japan during some internal meetings, Kawi’s U.S. execs had to have it.
Kawasaki reportedly will present a new variant. Kawasaki Z1000S name the new bike, his photographs have been leaked in cyberspace. There has been no confirmation from the Kawasaki about this new figure, so there is no explanation about the technical specifications.
On the look of the design, Z1000S 2011 modern style, futuristic and muscular. Bagin front carrying the twin lights which mengkerucut sharp. At the stern lights futuristic design.
