2017 Kawasaki Z1000 Coming to India on April 22

As per the latest details available, Kawasaki is all-set to launch the BS4 version of its top-end Z-series sport bike Z1000 in India on April 22. Supreme Court recently put a ban on the sale of BS3 vehicles in India, which forced the manufacturers to update their products and some of the vehicles have been discontinued in India. Yamaha recently removed the R3 from the Indian website and it will be relaunched in India by June 2017.
