Kawasaki Z1000 : Review : PowerDrift

The 2014 Kawasaki Z1000 takes a different route to litre class naked motorcycles. It does not attempt to strip down its race spec faired sibling, instead it packages a raw, wild, yet friendly machine, i.e. if you have a thing with motorcycles.

[@motordemic]

"Dropped head and muscular shoulders" that's the perfect definition I was looking for the z1000 and the 1290 superduke!

[@suhaasr8323]

The Cinematography, Camera position & angle , the background score & of course or Sagar sir together make one hell of an amazing combination , power drift your the best in the segment of reviewing !

[@gerardgolis6818]

You guys really do the best reviews. This is by far the best z1000 review I've seen.

[@powerdriftofficial]

[@TheEvaAddict]

Indeed :)..!!

[@paulmay5119]

Superb review! I've been trying to decide on a Z1000 or GSX S1000 and quite frankly, this video has swung it full to full Z! I love the editing and yes as Nam Phan said, Kawasaki should use this as the official advertising video! The best review vid I've seen yet. Thanks

[@SankalpSinghEA]

This review deserves an IMAX 3D experience !!! Beyond words !!! Sgt. Sagar sir and Akash - my salutes :D

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thank you +Sankalp Singh Ow and yes! Now that would be some pure madness isn't it? ;)

[@bigmartin]

Already riding one, and watching this video I'd nearly buy another lol.. Brilliant presentation

[@yoanhristov1600]

I have a 2009 Honda CB600FA Hornet and thinking of switching to this one as I believe it would be more stable at above 140km/h and a lot less wind. Is that the case? I also like the more aggressive and aerodynamic look of it. Is this a good upgrade for a city/cross-country bike and mid-range trips of up to 300 km a day? I am not a fan of super sport bikes and more into Tourer/Street bikes like the Hornet. What do you guys think?

[@Uninfluenceable]

I could have easily bought a Tuono or S1000R, but I bought the Z1000 because there is nothing else like it on the road. For me, a naked bike is about style and emotion, not quickest lap times. The Aprilia and BMW are soulless and clinically boring. I do admit the KTM Super Duke is an exception and it does look quite good, in fact I think it was probably even styled after the 3rd gen. Z1000's looks, BUT we all know about KTM reliability (or lack thereof) and I want to spend my time riding my bikes, not wrenching on it...

[@zumbi1979]

good review, and you were right about the heavy clutch....just booked mine and it will be here in 20 days!!! i can't wait!

[@powerdriftofficial]

+siddharth bangera Good to know. How has the Z1000 been treating you? :D

[@chiranthrv2691]

It really helps a lot , u guys are really crazy. No words for the champ rider "Sagar sheldekar"

[@AlamoSimon]

I got goose bumps from that far beam wheelie at 5:19... Amazing video. I want those LEDs on my 2012 Black Edition Z1000!

[@ansahithkrishna]

the video editing is awesome. made the bike look more furious

[@powerdriftofficial]

the sexiest review ever seen on power drift..... just waiting to find a dealer for my next bike in line.....

[@powerdriftofficial]

Siddharth Sarnaik Which city are you from? We might be able to help you in this matter. :)

[@rachitv2003]

Excellent video! Really highlights the aggression of the bike! On another note? Are you guys doing a Triumph Street Triple review? I've heard it's becoming a hot seller, and it is an excellent bike!

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Rachit Verma Thanks bud. Have you seen this yet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWXSh6Jtnb2Ur9k

[@the_shaw_stopper5516]

[@akshayrockstar61940]

Guys, brilliant video. If you were to recommend a 1000cc naked sports bike for mostly city rides and occasional highway cruising, which one would you recommend?

[@powerdriftofficial]

Akshay S A 1000cc sports bike for everyday use is a tall order. Heating up issues plus the weight of the bike will be a log to carry. Highly inadvisable :(

[@rvschaitu1]

great review as always

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Rvs Chaitu Thanks. #Share it with your friends maybe?

[@ronn56100]

Which one will be a better buy? The Triumph speed triple or The Kawaski Z1000. Main concerns are Sound, Torque, Power and performance. Have to do the street riding. Thanks

[@powerdriftofficial]

+ronn56100 Check our Speed Triple review too! Get back to us if you have any questions

[@ronn56100]

I've already watched it. It is AMAZING. But I still am very confused. Please suggest me the bike. Speed triple or the z1000? Which one will be a better buy

[@Osprey1994]

Man there's so many choices these days I really want to see what you guys think of the MT-10 you have really thorough reviews.

[@js7003]

Awesome video. Im torn between the suzuki s1000 and this bike. I think the z kills it in the looks department compared to the suzuki, but i havent ridden either so im not sure which ill like better. Im 6'3 200lbs, how is this bike for a taller rider?

[@powerdriftofficial]

Both are equally good, John! We would suggest you test ride both of them.

[@AmanpreetSingh-li3ds]

Which 1000 cc bike would you prefer!

[@dimitridehouck9506]

Aaah the Z1000 always been the number one naked bike on the market for it's value!!!

[@powerdriftofficial]

Is it your favourite bike Dimitri?

[@asbo_ninja]

Quite enjoyed that. Had me hooked. Making me think should i have test rode this before jumping in and buying the mt10

[@kushalvyas3609]

[@apurvsingh15]

PD is was horrified with the review!!! Keep it up.

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Apurv Singh :| Sure

[@dumbcat]

I have a 2013 Z1000. The bike is so insane most riders will not be able to find roads to take full advantage of what it has to offer. And if a road is found, most riders will not be able to keep pace with the bike. Like the 2014 Z, the 2013 Z is also heavy. It feels top heavy. It can corner for sure but it takes work. You need to get your body in position before the turn, not like some bikes that you can just 'flick' into a corner. If you are facing multiple corners you will have to move your body around a lot, quickly jumping from one side of the bike to the other. It can be a workout but totally exhilarating.

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Hans Zarkov That is some analysis! Good one, bud. #Like

[@malvinnathaniel987]

[@malvinnathaniel987]

***** is it possible for me to meet the powerdrift team in person? If so, can I get the address of your headquarters?

[@recpro7847]

This is a really good clip. Didn't expect it.

[@richardmarclorena782]

@Powerdrift should I buy his bike rather than z650? what can you say? what do you think?

[@powerdriftofficial]

Depends on what you're upgrading from. If you have already ridden 600cc+ bikes, you could go ahead with the 1000.

[@richardmarclorena782]

PowerDrift how about the 650 then upgrade to 1000 is it okay then? here in philippines most of he starter bikes are those 150 cc up or down moped street motorcycles. I just guess they are not counted?

[@powerdriftofficial]

That would be the ideal way. From 600cc to 1000cc.

[@richardmarclorena782]

PowerDrift yeah thanks!

[@THUNDERBLOODXXX]

Wow..... What a review. All the reviews by PD are just.... superb. What a Passionate team !! Cheers !! I am in Pune and am seriously considering buying this Kawasaki... could you please suggest which one would be more practical(Considering our Pune roads) out of Z1000 and Augusta F3.
