Kawasaki Z1000 2010





This is really one of those bikes that people see and ask “what is stock and what is aftermarket about it?” Click past the break to find out. The gold/silver paintjob does help at setting the bike apart from its standard siblings, but what we like the most about this project is the fact that it looks like that’s just the way Kawi did it in the first place. The bike gets a set of Performance Machine wheels (17-inch front, 18-inch rear), 240-section rear tire, a custom-built braced swingarm and Brocks 4-2-1 exhaust, just to mention some of its most impressive new features. Take the 2010 Roaring Toyz Kawasaki Z1000 case for example.

These lasts have the habit of developing entire upgrade kits that set the bike miles away from its original state of new product that has just come out the factory gates. The 2010 Kawasaki Z1000 is already one of the best Japanese nakeds around, but ways to make it better are always found either by riders individually or by tuners.
