The 2015 Z1000 ABS continues the 2014 restyle with Sugomi styling, a sculpted look that the page likens to a crouching predator. It uses the same 1043 cc inline-four, tuned for strong low and mid-range response, with standard ABS and an aluminium backbone frame. Colours offered were Golden Blazed Green and Metallic Spark Black.
