"The Center of Attention"
If you can take your Z-1 for granted while other people are taking it for something out of this world, you know your motorcycles.
Because this is what people who ought to know their motorcycles have said about the Kawasaki Z-1 900:
"...a motorcycled that will undoubtedly become the new criterion for the motorcycle industry..." Cycle Guide.
"...one of thos rare motorcycles with the stuff of which legends are made..." Modern Cycle.
And the Z-1 didn't get those notices just because it's good looking. It had to work damn hard for them.
With a super-smooth dual overhead cam 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, 903cc engine. With a capability of hitting a top speed about twice as fast as you should ever go. With a sophisticated suspension that loves to lean over and cling to the road. And, this year, with a rugged new chain that doesn't want to give up.
The Z-1 also worked for its reputation by putting it on the line at Daytona. The result was a new 24 Hour World Record, and the setting of over 50 other World and American records. Not bad, considering that the previous world record was set on a highly modified bike, and the Z-1 that broke it was a stock machine.
Proving that the bike you can ride for a good time is also the bike that can ride to a record time.
Kawasaki
lets the good times roll.
