Kawasaki New Promises


Kawasaki is one of major player in Malaysian two-wheeler industry. After some boasting rumors regarding Kawasaki Z1000 2014, then the bike will be introduced in short time, a proven commitment from Kawasaki.


Several media friends already tested the Z1000 in Spain last year. Quite shocked, Kawasaki Malaysia called local media to have a sneak preview to the new Kawasaki Z1000 and Ninja 1000 and have some mileages on both of it at Langkawi Island.  


These days, Kawasaki and several Japanese manufacturers received highly market threaten from continental manufacturers. We are not sure either Japanese left behind as they too confident with their own values or the continentals is resurrect too advance.


As we believe, Kawasaki has given a promise to be more serious to development stages with new innovation and new technology approaches. Kawasaki Malaysia Press Introduction 2014 in Langkawi, held at Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa, testified the new Z1000 and Ninja1000.


The new Z1000 overall design has been revised to the concept of ' Sugomi ' – predator style. Sharp front nose radical design with the new headlight inflicted aggressive character. Meanwhile, the Ninja 1000 which known as Z1000SX before this had not too much differences. But, the riding position has been improved with several new features.





Most of the technical aspects are shared by the both models. The new Z1000 and Ninja 1000 powered by 1043cc produces 140 horsepower (104.5 kW) at 10,000 rpm and maximum torque of 110 Nm at 7,300 rpm. Overall, the new six-speed transmission system provides a better response along the way. The 4-cylinder inline DOHC 16-valve also received a new electronic engine management. 

During the event, Kawasaki Motors (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd unveiled both price; Z1000 - RM76,900, Ninja1000 - RM82,900 (basic w/o panniers)
