Kawasaki has just unveiled this significantly new Z1000 super naked at the Milan Show.

Although not completely new – the basic engine and chassis are unchanged, for example – Kawasaki’s super naked has received a raft of changes to the powertrain, chassis, equipment and, most obviously, styling which effectively renders it an all-new machine.

The key changes are as follows:

• sharper styling

• improved throttle response

• improved induction noise

• sharper handling via adoption of Big Piston forks

• uprated braking via new radial-mount monobloc calipers

• improved ergonomics
