THE better weather has proved once and for all that summer is now with us. To celebrate, along with all those proposing to go topless in the sun, Kawasaki has just announced a finance campaign for its two popular "naked" motorcycles, the Z1000 and Z750, available now at Kawasaki dealerships near you.

Four Star Finance, which runs until September 30 this year, offers four finance options to riders choosing either brand new machine, including a fabulous 0% ARP guaranteed over two years with a minimum 25% deposit.

With other finance options over three, four or even five years with deposits as low as £99, Four Star Finance from Kawasaki is being promoted by the manufacturer as a great way to get naked this summer.

"The Z1000 with its stripped down appearance and distinctive four exhaust pipes, was seen by many as a trend-setter in the so-called naked class when it was introduced," said Martin Lambert, Kawasaki Motors UK's marketing manager. "It immediately won a major international design award and has gone on to become a popular choice with British riders."

Meanwhile, the four cylinder, water-cooled Z750 has also carved quite a niche for itself in the UK, consistently coming out on top in motorcycle magazine tests. "The Z750 is an all things to all riders type of bike," explained Lambert. "Its design suits both city and out of town use and the all-round performance has been very well received by both seasoned riders and those that have only recently passed their motorcycle test."
