KAWASAKIZ1000SX 2018 - Present

　　The Kawasaki Z1000 was a standard motorcycle with streetfighter styling that debuted in 2003 and continued production until the present (2023). The first Z1000 model was introduced in 1977, replacing the 903cc Z1/Z900.

　　The Z1000 models manufactured from 2003 to 2006 used the same tail section as the 2003 636cc ZX-6R sports bine. In the styling department, the Z1000 was a departure from other naked models of the time.

　　The bikes manufactured from 2007 until 2009 came with a de-tuned version of the engine used on the ZX-9R and a redesigned exhaust system. The engine delivered less top-end power but a more low-mid rpm range.

　　In 2010, Kawasaki released a redesigned model with customary styling updates and a slightly larger engine. Also, the bike was marketed as Z1000 ABS, as ABS was a standard feature.

　　As we were used to a three-year update cycle, the maker released a special edition model alongside the standard version, marking the 40th anniversary of the "Z" model. The special edition version features only aesthetic changes.

　　In 2018, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Z1000SX, a fully faired motorcycle delivering modern and aggressive styling with sharp edges, excellent comfort, and enhanced touring performance.

　　The 2018 Kawasaki Z1000SX had its soul brought to life by a 1,043cc four-stroke liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 142 hp at 10,000 rpm and 111 Nm (82 lb-ft) torque at 7,300 rpm.
