Introduction
A
thrill to look at, a thrill to ride. The Z1000 –
carving a powerful line as it cuts through the
atmosphere and even as it stands still – is one
of those rare motorcycles that balance a
distinctive aesthetic with an engine that pumps
out arm-straightening power.
Completely redesigned two years ago, the Z1000's
aggressive bodywork reveals the design team's
attention to detail. The aesthetic showcase
begins with a low-mount front cowl that slopes
back radically, highlighting the Z’s prow and,
behind it, an adjustable instrument cluster
featuring a multifunction LCD display covered by
a trick-looking orange lens. The line-beam
headlight's guts are integrated nicely into that
angled cowl. Moving rearward, you come to a
shapely fuel tank that’s flared on the sides to
let you grab it with your knees and that’s trim
at the back for a snug fit. The seat is low and
narrow at the front to make ground contact easy,
and flows beautifully rearward to end in a
futuristically retro LED tail light behind a red
lens. It’s a thoroughly athletic shape, one sure
to garner attention wherever it’s ridden.
