Detail
The 2010 Z1000 takes the Super Naked concept in a totally new and strikingly contemporary direction.
Mating Ninja ZX-9R-based engines with innovative chassis designs and striking bodywork, previous Z1000 models offered supersport performance adapted for the street, wrapped in the most avant-garde designs of the their time.
Now, the totally re-designed and re-engineered 2010 Z1000 takes the Super Naked concept in a positive and bold new direction. In order to deliver a kind of excitement never before experienced with Super Naked models, development of the new Z1000 started totally from scratch – resulting in a fresh and compelling new Super Naked machine .

Press Reviews
Kawasaki Z1000 (2010-current) - MCN
The 2010 Z1000 is the most impressive sports naked ever to roll out of Japan. It has excellent performance, handling and is super-stylish to boot. It’s less intimidating and easier to ride than a fire-breathing European super naked too. Compared to something like a KTM Super Duke or Ducati Streetfighter, the Z1000 is on the heavy side, the brakes lack bite, the engine power isn’t ‘bang’ in-your-face and the tyres are disappointing. But if you want big super naked kicks you have to spend big money. The Z1000, on the other hand, delivers a lot of bang for your buck.
