The Kawasaki Z1000 was a four-cylinder standard motorcycle with a streetfighter style that debuted in 2003 and continued production until the present (2023). The first Kawasaki motorcycle part of the Z series was introduced in 1972.
Over its production time, the Kawasaki Z1000 underwent several visual, technical, and performance updates, making it more aggressive, powerful, and better handling. The latest update was in 2014.
In 2014, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Z1000ABS, a streetfighter-styled motorcycle that received styling, performance, and technical modifications.
The 2014 motorcycle had a better look, a slightly more powerful engine, new four-piston monobloc calipers on the front, a Big Piston Showa fork, lighter wheels, and a larger fuel tank.
In the appearance department, the motorcycle packed standard features, such as a front cowl with dual headlights, side panels, an engine spoiler, a two-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system with two double silencers on each side, and lightweight wheels.
In the performance department, the 2014 Kawasaki Z1000 ABS had its soul brought to life by a 1,043cc four-stroke, four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system. As for the power figures, the engine delivered 142 hp at 10,000 rpm and 111 Nm (82 lb-ft) torque at 7,300 rpm.
The bike's wheels were fitted with two 310 mm discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 250 mm disc tied to a single-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.
