Kawasaki Z 1000 2010

Menus

Do you remember the 1st version of the Z 1000? Click here to dismiss an eye. Why ? For two reasons. First, to remember that it was this roadster that put Kawa back in the spotlight – a machine in the purest manga style that made all heads turn..
Then, because compared to this 3rd generation, the 2003 vintage looks like a child at heart. It’s just mind-blowing how aggressive, stocky Akashi’s favorite roadster has become, breaking the boundaries of threat..

Kawasaki manages the feat of giving us a visual slap with each new evolution of the Z 1000. Except this time, the development of this big street-fighter is not the result of an evolution but a whole new model. With “total freedom of design”, the engineers were able to let go in all directions. Look at this contraption! It’s sharp from start to finish, with fangs all over the place and wrestler’s shoulders. The fork crown is still inspired by the 1st model … with a lot of testosterone and a good dose of mutagen. A small detail tells us a lot about the care taken in this new Z 1000 – Take a close look at the swingarm, the end, here it is: an eccentric chain adjustment – How long has we not seen such element on a Japanese? Simply classy.

You immediately recognized the signature Kawa on the front axle: petal discs, radial brake calipers and a beautiful inverted fork, So I will draw your attention to the heart of the machine, I will talk to you later of its 1043 cm3 engine because …. Stop top top. 1043 cm3 ???? Yes, a bigger block. Has the old 4-cylinder of the ZX-9R been over-bored again? Is it a derivative of the ZX-10 R mill? Is it a brand new boiler? What is certain is that the power and torque values ​​are on the rise. 138 hp or 13 more, and almost 12 mkg obtained. Which gives us 10% potato and 20% muscle – some inflations are good to take. And 90 cm3 more, that will cause the pistons to cause. This all-new engine has a smaller bore than the 2009 Z 1000 block and a longer stroke of 5.1 mm. Here is which announces a moulbif much more filled at half-speed.
But above all, I wanted to talk to you about the setting. Although reinforced, the previous Z 1000 chassis marked time against severe competition in the segment. It was time, if not urgent, to fix that. The technical aspects have not yet been disclosed, but the photos show us a brand new die-cast aluminum frame, with a structure anchored to the cylinder block and passing over the cylinder head. It’s a safe bet (bingo) that this new frame is closely derived from that of the ZX-10R hypersport. Its design and the materials used made it possible to stiffen it by 30% while making it lose weight by 3 to 4 kg. Add to that a full weight lightened by 10 kilos and a refocusing of the masses … This should reconcile the Z 1000 with sports driving enthusiasts.

Kawasaki Z 1000 2010

With this sinister aspect to perfection, hard to believe that the Z 1000 retains the first specificities that have made its reputation: a tuning and sharp design, painted rims with polished edges, 2 double exhausts (although the pots have deep changed) and a character of his own.
As for its dynamism, Kawa admits having neither looking for maximum power, nor the most dazzling speed (there is the ZX-10 R and its 200 horsepower for that). The Z 1000 is a street-fighter and will fulfill its prerogatives as such: to impress (check the imitation snakeskin saddle a little on the metallic Brown color) and offer maximum driving pleasure. The Ducati 1098 Streetfighter, Yamaha FZ1 and other Triumph Speed ​​Triple have better watch out.
