Looks quite cool, if perhaps a bit droopy in the headlight area.





Quite like the head design touches.

Doesn't really look any different from the 2014 Z1000, I guess if it aint broke, don't fix it... just add a few cc's to make up for the latest emission standards.

They've added all the usual rider aids,none of the old zeds have that.
Can't see it selling well since the competition is faster and cheaper.

They let the cat out of the bag a few months ago. I see they still haven't fired the blind motherfucker who designs the silencers

I like mine betterer even though it's olderer.

Nice use of old torpedoes

There was a factory making them locally during the war,though I doubt they had gateposts in mind.

When they were doing the US certification with the DoT there was something in the filing that indicated there might also be a ZRX looking version in the pipeline...

If they did it right,that could be a seller. Lotta love for the ZRX. A mate has 3 of them!

Wouldn't that just take sales away from the Z900RS?

I don't understand that one either.

Will it sell?

I think it's only competitor is the Suzuki GSX-S 1000, the Honda Hornet 1000 is so budget it's not in the same ball game, and people will buy this if they like Kawasakis more than Suzukis, they're both ugly bikes, for me the Kawasaki is uglier.

Kawasaki have really gone full in on the praying mantis look.If you like that kind of thing, great. Not keen, myself.
