presentation of the Z 1000 Black Edition 2012

even more Z! Would this be the right way to present the Black Edition of Akashi's big roadster? As its name suggests, this Z 1000 is black, completely black. But what's blacker than the existing black?! It's a dark story...
Well, not much. Just a tank protector and a few touches of red here and there, which the black makes stand out. Edging on the rims, a few stickers, 3D logos and a 'Black Edition' plate on the handlebar bridge are the goodies of this special series.

French Model 2012
I fell in love with this bike when I bought it in 2012, and it's been 12 years now that I'm still having so much fun with it. It's never broken down, so I enjoy the peace and quiet on every ride.
Sporty but reassuring, the big flaw for me is the lack of equipment.
Quite frankly, it's a load of rubbish. A motorcycle to be avoided by beginners.
A risk-free purchase. Rating : 4/5

French Model 2012
the maximum speed with this 106hp motorcycle does not exceed 230km/h on the odometer.
on the other hand, you get there just as fast as you say. Rating : 4/5
