Kawasaki Z1000 2016

Kawasaki Z1000 2016

The Kawasaki Z1000 (2014) is a statement against the electronic trend of its time - and that is exactly what makes it special today. Its characterful four-cylinder engine, mechanical directness and uncompromising focus on the essentials strike a chord in a time when many bikes have become rolling computers. Yes, it does without modern Advanced Rider Assistance Systems and perfect wind protection. But it offers an authentic naked bike riding experience, paired with Japanese reliability and reasonable maintenance costs. The Z1000 is not a bike for data sheet junkies or electronics fans - it is a bike for people who still want to make their own decisions when rider. An honest bike with character that continues to inspire even after years and more than fulfils its role as an emotional alternative to the digital modern age.

The new Yamaha TMAX Tech MAX is the TMAX-to-have. It takes all the positive attributes of the standard model, of course, but packs them into a more comfortable and desirable package. With electronic windshield, cruise control adjustable shock, and heated seat and grips, the equipment leaves nothing to be desired. It can already be assumed that the Tech MAX will be the best seller, because in the past, TMAX customers have gone for the models with high-quality equipment. If you are looking for a sporty maxi scooter with good equipment, there is no way around the new Yamaha TMAX Tech MAX!
