2014 Kawasaki Z1000 ABS, The it factor is hard to describe, but you always know it when you see it. Likewise, the new 2014 Kawasaki Z1000 has a hard-to-define streetfighter style that is impactful enough to ensure everyone knows they re seeing something special. In a significant departure from the concealing bodywork of its sportbike predecessor, the new Z1000 strips-off unnecessary covers and bodywork to expose the superior functionality of its parts. ALUMINUM BACKBONE FRAME Aluminum backbone frame is similar in concept to the Ninja ZX-10R s, and helps make the bike narrow and easy to grip with the knees for maximum rider comfort and feedback The frame is lightweight and highly rigid, and uses the engine as a stressed member for solid handling and optimum stability Frame elements are tuned to transmit optimal engine feedback to the rider The frame uses 4 engine mounts, 3 of which are rigid, 1 of which (the upper rear crankcase mount) is rubber New compact sub-frame design is more slender and shorter to match the new styling The sub-frame is an example of form and function combined, negating the need for side covers and allowing underseat narrowness for a shorter reach to the ground DIGITAL IGNITION Digital timing advance enhances low-range and mid-range power Individual spark plug-mounted ignition coils fire each of the 4 spark plugs independently to achieve the optimum timing for that cylinder ECU includes an idle speed control system for easier starting and warm-up DOHC, 16-VALVE, 1,043 CC ENGINE 1,043 cc liquid-cooled inline-4 offers true open-class power from idle to redline New cylinder connecting passageways reduce pumping losses and improve mid-to-high rpm performance New intake cams provide improved low-to-midrange torque for instant thrust and maximum rider satisfaction New more-aggressive ECU settings provide sharper throttle response New more-aggressive ECU settings provide sharper throttle response Bore and stroke dimensions of 77 x 56 mm offer an ideal balance of peak power and low and mid-range flexibility 38 mm Keihin throttle bodies cram the air / fuel mixture directly into combustion chambers via downdraft intakes for maximum power Oval sub throttles help keep the engine slim, and a slim midsection allows an ideal bike / rider interface for maximum comfort and control Engine's rev limiter comes into play "softly," providing usable overrev character because power doesn t drop off suddenly at high rpm The engine's relatively low crankshaft position allows a moderately long stroke without adding engine height A secondary engine balancer, driven off a gear on the sixth web of the crankshaft, eliminates excess vibration and contributes to rider comfort New shorter final drive gearing provides quicker acceleration and enhanced riding excitement, while a new taller 6th gear helps maintain highway comfort HORIZONTAL BACK

Kawasaki's streetfighter with Sugomi style.The Kawasaki Z design language was elevated to a higher level with the Z1000's “Sugomi” styling, which combines its sculpted shape – invoking a crouching predator – with painstaking details like its special “Z” ignition key, machined aluminum steering stem bolt and the intricate “Z” motif seat cover. This is wrapped in a new color scheme for 2015 that combines Golden Blazed Green with Metallic Spark Black to create a dramatic motorcycle that sets the stage for the excitement to follow.
