Chuck Norris part Steven Seagal comes Jackie Chan... by Daniel Harry Remember your first proper sportbike? That heart stopping hair rising feeling. I do, mine was a Fireblade, maybe a far cry from perfect(it only manage to last a month, dont ask, a perfect wheelie a tree and me...), but it was my superbike and that made it benchmark. And this is what this Z1000 do, it reminds me of it all. This bike dont try to rewrite laws of physics, its out to rock your boat. Its heart over matter and the styling say it all. This is a fun bike with no nanny watching over your shoulder, apart from ABS its spartan. Its Chuck Norris part Steven Seagal comes Jackie Chan, its a green ad for toothpaste in a world filled with artificial intelligence and traction control. Is fun in all capital letters and at home on track as it is on Sandton city streets. Yes I know its not the fastest nor very refined and even by some rough around the edges, but who cares. This might not be a superbike but its a true super bike, and best of all at R135 900 your bank manager might like this green fat friendly ninja as much as you do. 1043cc 4cylinder, 140hp(103kw)@10 000rpm, 110nm@7 300rpm, ABS, 205kg(dry), 220kg(wet), 683hp(502kw)/ton and a million smiles.
