2014 kawasaki z1000 | 10345 miles | VIN JKAZRCG18EA001020 | $6999 tax, doc & licensing
If you’re looking for high performance and raw power, look no further than the 2014 Z1000. 2014 marked a new era for this bike, from the Sugomi design, to suspension and brake upgrades, and of course some engine tweaks. The Sugomi design language adds a mean presence to an already nasty machine. This bike features ABS to support the radial mount brakes, upgraded suspension and revised intake cams and air box giving a much stronger top end punch. To support the increased power, the aluminum twin spar frame is borrowed from the Ninja 1000. Premium touches from machine components, a sculpted tank and Z-logo textured seat wrap this beast into a phenomenal package at an even better price point. The beauty is in the simplicity; no extra electronics or ride modes. What you get is Kawasaki’s reputable build quality and reliability, along with ease of modification and a raw mechanical beast.
