Expert opinion and recommendation

The Kawasaki Z1000 is a formidable contender in the litre-class motorcycle segment in India, and my experience with it has been nothing short of exhilarating. This bike is all about raw power and aggressive styling, making it a head-turner wherever you go. The in-line, four-cylinder 1043cc engine delivers 140bhp at 10000rpm and a torque of 111Nm at 7300rpm, providing a powerband that is spread out exceptionally well. The bikes handling is razor-sharp, with a suspension setup that keeps it nimble during hard cornering, although it can be a bit stiff on uneven roads. The braking system, complete with ABS, inspires confidence even under hard braking. While the headlamps could be better in low-light conditions, the overall package makes the Z1000 a mean machine that is hard to ignore. If youre looking for a litre-class bike that combines power, style, and performance without breaking the bank, the Z1000 is an excellent choice.

Recent news and announcements

The 2025 Kawasaki Z1000R has been unveiled, featuring a 1,043cc inline-4 engine that produces 142 horsepower and 111 Nm of torque. The bike comes with advanced electronics, including ride-by-wire throttle control and multiple riding modes. Its braking system includes dual 310 mm petal discs with four-piston radial mount calipers. I think this bike is a powerhouse that combines raw power with cutting-edge technology.

Kawasaki has made significant improvements to the Z1000Rs chassis and suspension for the 2025 model. It now features a lightweight aluminum frame, fully adjustable suspension, and a horizontal back-link rear suspension. These changes enhance the bikes handling and stability, especially when cornering. The suspension setup is designed to provide a comfortable yet controlled ride.
August 14, 2024
The 2024 Kawasaki Z1000R continues to impress with its aggressive styling and intimidating look. The bike is available in Metallic Spark Black color and features LED tail lights, headlights, and indicator lights for better visibility. It also includes a Z logo embossed on the seat for distinct identity. I believe the design of this bike is one of its strongest selling points.

Kawasaki has enhanced the braking performance of the Z1000R with Brembo brakes and premium Öhlins rear suspension. Additional safety features include Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), traction control, assist and slipper clutch, immobilizer, and steering damper. These features make the bike safer and more manageable in various riding conditions.
June 15, 2024
The 2017 Kawasaki Z1000R saw significant updates, including a re-tuned ECU for more torque and power lower in the rev range. It also got a new instrument panel, gear position indicator, and a shift-up indicator. These updates made the bike more versatile and appealing to a wider range of riders. I think these updates were a smart move by Kawasaki to keep the bike competitive.

Price

Pricing details and changes

In India, the Kawasaki Z1000 is sold as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) and is priced competitively. The ex-showroom price for the Z1000 in India is around INR 13.49 lakhs, but once you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes and other charges, the price jumps to approximately INR 13.84 lakhs in cities like Pune. This pricing makes the Z1000 a viable option for those seeking a high-performance litre-class bike without the exorbitant costs associated with some of its competitors. The value for money is quite good, considering the bikes performance, features, and the prestige it commands on the road.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

When it comes to mileage, the Kawasaki Z1000 is not exactly known for its fuel efficiency, which is typical for a high-performance litre-class bike. In city riding conditions, you can expect a mileage of around 8-10 kmpl, while on the highways, it can stretch up to 12-15 kmpl. However, these figures can vary significantly based on your riding style and the conditions you ride in. For instance, if youre frequently riding in heavy traffic or enjoying the bikes full throttle capabilities, the mileage will naturally be on the lower side. Despite this, the Z1000s performance and the thrill it offers make the slightly lower mileage a trade-off many enthusiasts are willing to accept. ABOUT The Kawasaki Z1000 is a naked version of the Ninja 1000, designed as a street fighter with a focus on high performance. Its design is intimidating and commanding, with a front headlight console set low and twin LED lamps that give it a crouching, aggressive stance. The bike features a compact and maneuverable build, making it comfortable for city riding despite its powerful credentials. The in-line, four-cylinder 1043cc engine is the heart of this beast, delivering 140bhp and 111Nm of torque, which translates into blistering acceleration and a wide powerband that makes it enjoyable at any speed. The suspension is stiff and race-track oriented, providing excellent handling but making it less comfortable on uneven roads. The braking system, with 320mm front and 230mm rear discs and ABS, is precise and confidence-inspiring. Overall, the Z1000 is a mean machine that combines raw power, futuristic design, and exceptional performance, making it a compelling choice for any serious motorcycle enthusiast in India.
