Motorcycle specifications KawasakiZ 1000 Performance 2020 le chant du fauve
presentation of the Z 1000 Performance 2020
The Z 1000 continues to exude menace, savagery and adrenalin, even when seriously shaken by more muscular rivals. Superdukes, Tuono 1100 RRs, MT-10s, GSX-S 1000s: the wolf herd has plenty to give it a hard time. The Kawa responds with a more intuitive, rider-friendly experience. No traction control to save your rear end, no anti-smurf, no high-frequency radar with positronic laser. Just a big engine that blows up in your face, a chassis to galvanize it, and in this case, carbon Akrapovic mufflers to make the road sing while you grip it raw.
The Performance Pack is now available on a number of Kawasaki models. The Z 1000 is the latest to get it, with the aforementioned pair of Slovenian exhausts and a gel self-adhesive tank protector. More airy, the engine gains a few watts, while 4 kilos of weight are shed. The original mufflers bear the brunt of European standards.
The Performance tip to complete the bill is almost as much as the price of the Akras in the optional catalog. The bonus of this pack is the carbon protection at the edge of the pots.
