presentation of the Z 1000 R Performance 2018

The Z 1000 R Performance is Kawasaki's top roadster. A machine full of grunt, affront, enriched with beautiful parts capable of turning heads, esgourds and sensations. The 1000 R already gives another dimension to the big Z, with its Brembo M50 calipers fed by braided hoses, Öhlins amorto and chunky warrior color scheme.
With the Performance Pack, Kawa has now completed the accessorization of its flagship roadster. And how?

with a name that says it all before you even get started. Akrapovic. Two Slovenian mufflers set the tone, with the ever-popular attributes of weight loss (around 4 kilos) and a spoonful of extra power. Thus equipped, the Z needs nothing more than a safe, experienced rider. Because the Z, be it 1000, R or Performance, is a boiling hot machine with no sweetener. No traction control, no ride mode, no co-pilots. Only ABS is tolerated. With over 140 hp, you have to be a little careful when the pace increases. But the chassis allows you to be good, as long as you love it as it should be: a ballsy roadster that smells of gunpowder rather than silicon.

Z1000r Model 2018

Exceptional bike, just bought it, like it or not, but you can't say it's the worst.

It's torquey, supple, linear and has an atypical look 01/13/2019 21:10 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Z1000r

Very ugly and completely outdated, a good anvil like Kawa knows how to make! 12/26/2018 18:06 Rating : 1/5 Respond to ant83

Vince78CDG Model 2018

Frankly, the first-generation Z1000 was the best. Qualitatively, it's more than just plastic, and aesthetically, what's with the drooping front end? Finally, the competition has better and cheaper bikes, with electronic assistants to boot. 04/17/2018 16:31 Rating : 1/5 Respond to Vince78CDG
