After introducing five models from their current lineup last month India Kawasaki Motors has launched the updated 2017 Z1000 and premium Z1000R. After departing from the Bajaj partnership the Japanese manufacturer is on their own and establishing their setup steadily. The massive Z1000 is the flagship product from the naked Z series of Kawasaki. The 2017 Z1000 is equipped with 1043cc inline-4 cylinder engine now comes with updated ECU to comply Euro IV emission norms. The mill is capable to produce 143Ps of power and 111 nm of torque. The updated 2017 Kawasaki Z1000 is featured with tweaked front Showa suspension for plusher ride quality and the rear linkage mono shock is also changed for better feeling at the rear wheel. The updated rear linkage results into increased travel by 13mm. The 2017 Kawasaki Z1000 now comes with improved brake pad compounds for better feeling. The right lever for front brakes is now adjustable for better reach. Apart from these two changes the new Z1000 also received an updated instrument console; the new instrument cluster is now featured with gear shift indicator and a shift light. Kawasaki has also introduced “R” version of the Z1000, the premium Z1000R has similar underpinnings as Z1000 apart from few changes that actually make Z1000 more premium. The new Z1000R has all the updates as Z1000 and in addition to those updates the Z1000R edition comes with fully adjustable Ohlins rear shock absorber. The front shock absorber remains same Showa unit as in Z1000 but the setup is been tweaked to match the performance with the rear premium Ohlins unit. The brakes have been updated similar to H2R configurations making the braking department as efficient as the superfast Kawasaki H2R.

Kawasaki has launched the updated 2017 Z1000 at a price tag of Rs 14.49 Lac and the new Z1000R is available at a price tag of Rs 15.49 Lac (all prices, Ex-showroom, Delhi).
