presentation of the Z 400 Performance 2019
While the Z 1000 waited 13 years for a Performance version, the Z 400 cracked one in its first year on the market. Shameless youth!
The Z clan won't hold it against it. Firstly, because the whole family is entitled to an "improved" version. Secondly, because this is not a cheap Z, but a motorcycle that fits right into the A2 category. The Kawasaki has a strong case to make, both in terms of engine response and riding pleasure.
it's not that the millstone wants to scream; it just wants others to understand how it clears its throat. For that, there's no secret: a good muffler from a well-known brand and it's off. Akrapovic is at the end of the organ, with a Slip-On Line S-K4SO5-HRT in titanium embellished with carbon. With it, the twin expresses itself with greater depth and certainty. The minimal gain of 1 horsepower will only flatter the ego. The weight too, perhaps.... 1.3 kilos on the scales.
the pot calling the kettle black. The Z 400 Performance is a little more presentable, with its seat cover. The fuel tank benefits from a protective pad to avoid unintentional or stunned scratches.
True to its customer-friendly approach to these multiple "packs", Kawa charges almost 20% less for the whole package than for the accessories in the catalog. The problem is that the price of the Performance version makes you think twice about a 400.......
