[faster and faster] - Kawasaki ups the ante in the supernaked segment with 2017 Z1000




The 2017 Kawasaki Z1000R gets Ohlins rear suspension, Brembo brakes and a new paintjob

For 2017, Kawasaki have unveiled a higher-performance Z1000 - the new, Euro 4-compliant Z1000R, which gets revised ECU settings for smoother, more consistent power delivery, and revisions to the main and pre-catalysers for reduced emissions. Braking performance has been improved in a big way, with a pair of new 310mm Brembo brake discs at front, with grooved stainless steel rotors, stainless-steel braided lines and Brembo M50 cast-aluminium monobloc radial-mount 4-piston calipers.

The 2017 Kawasaki Z1000R also gets uprated rear suspension - the new Öhlins S46DR1S rear shock features an aluminium body with single-tube construction, large ?46 mm piston, and internal air and gas chambers separated by a floating piston. This fancy spring is said to offer a more supple ride, improved stability and better high speed handling. Also, its remote preload adjuster makes it easy to adjust settings without tools, when carrying a passenger.

Revisions to the Z1000R's styling include a special black/gray paintjob with yellow-green graphics, tank pads with R edition graphics, frame pads and a seat embossed with the 'Z' mark. Output remains the same at 142bhp and 111Nm of torque, which provide highly entertaining performance in a package that weighs about 221 kilos.
