Say 'Zed' and the world knows you mean Kawasaki, the same way Kawasaki is associated with Ninja. It's in our genes, the genetic make-up that brings the most exciting naked ever to planet motorcycling. A new generation of riders felt the power of Zed with the Z1000, class leader for the last five years. Now get ready for the new 2008 Z1000. The latest Zed that takes raw, hardcore motorcycling to whole new levels.

Continuing to set the performance naked class ablaze, the Z1000 consolidates seriously bulked up performance and styling for the year 2008; just a look at the new Z1000 should tell you something of the awesome ride in store, for the savage beauty of this machine directly mirrors its ferocious performance.

"...First impressions. Mean, menacing, aggressive, very angular, insect-like with it’s extremely well fitting modular sci-fi arrowhead panels, this design echoed throughout the bike from the fender stays, through the well fitting side panels and frame covers to footrest brackets, swing arm , chain adjustors and rear caliper bracket, all bear the mark of thought and theme, excellent function with singular design. Mr Tanaka (who was shipped in from Mazda) to spearhead the design of the next generation of bikes apparently picked a spot in front of the front wheel and drew an imaginary line at a 30 degree angle or thereabouts and based the lines of the bike on this imaginary line to give it the appearance of movement whilst stationary. He’s succeeded...".

The spirit of 'Zed' shines through in the Z750, Kawasaki's DNA indelibly stamped on the hardcore Z750's breeding. Plenty of usable power keeps the Z ahead of the pack, and backs up its aggressive, sinister looks. A taut, slim chassis with revised mass centralisation means that flickable supersport handling matches the eager performance. Kawasaki has done it again with the updated Z750, delivering a radically-styled bike that's daringly different, but still true to the Zed heritage.

The new Z750 combines serious street riding and with aggressive knife-edged styling. Specially designed for high-performance street riding, this new-age street-fighter offers the perfect balance of engine and chassis performance. Choose the ABS option for less than £400 extra
