2012 Orange Z1000

Post by Z1000 Yashi »

Hi, i got a 2012 Orange Z1000 and im finding it very hard to find anyone thats got one, went to motogp and wsbk this year and even then couldn't find one. So i was just wondering if anyone has got one wouldn't mind sharing photos and any mods they got.

This is my Z1000 BTW

Orange isn't a popular colour. I bought one of my orange er6ns new in 09-it is an 06. Sat on the showroom floor for 3 years. Got 8 orange bikes here. Will be fun if I decide to sell them. :shock:
2 X ZRX1200R 4 X ER6N, GT550, 1988 ZX-10, 4 X GPZ250R, 4 X GPZ900R and GPZ750R :) Yeah I like Kawasakis.

Well at wsbk i had countless people come up and ask about it, all said they loved the colour.. even people with z1000's stopped by to have a look.. i thought it was crazy popular with all the attention but no1 has one lol.

Me likey..... Id probably ditch the flash gordon lightening bolt but if I were buying one I reckon Id get the Orange for something different.

Nice bike mate.

Yep, Rod's is this colour and looks pretty slick I must say. His has the full "Carbon Col" range of performance mods including Full Akra system (4-1), Power Commander, FCE, mirrors, screen and seat. Seems to go quite well too ;)

There was a fair bit of interest in my green 2013 Z1000 over the weekend, I reckon people just seem to like them...and why wouldn't they ;)

Fair enough. :grin:

Nice bike by the way. I reckon the orange looks ok too, but given the choice I'd have to go green. :mrgreen:
