The Kawasaki 900 Z1 was the world's first true ‘superbike’. Introduced in late 1972, it was also Kawasaki's first four-cylinder, four-stroke motorcycle, and what a way to start!
Kawasaki, the smallest of the Japanese ‘Big Four’ manufacturers, developed the Z1 to take on the rest of the world in all areas, including performance, handling, safety, and style. The Z1 upstaged even Honda's outstanding CB750, its bullet-proof DOHC 903cc power unit-the biggest and most powerful the Japanese had dared to manufacture-producing 82bhp and giving a top speed of more than 130mph. Striking good looks make the Z I one of the most attractive motorcycles of the 1970s, with the black, ‘across -the -frame’ engine set off by bare aluminium cooling fin edges.
The Z1 evolved into the ZI-A and Z1-B, and then into the Z900; all of these 1972-76 models are included in this book. Also covered are the Z900 LTD (the first Japanese custom motorcycle, which was produced for the US market) and the 750cc Japan-only Z2. The influence of the Z1 extends beyond this immediate family: the basic design was developed well into the mid-1980s and the Z1 pedigree can still be seen in all Kawasaki sports bikes.
Original Kawasaki Z I, Z900 & KZ900, written by David Marsden of Z-Power, presents a portrait of originality in words and pictures. These motorcycles are real collector's items today when they are correct in every detail, so this book provides comprehensive information on original specifications and equipment. It contains in-depth explanations of the design and construction of the engine, transmission, frame, running gear, electrics, and instruments, then goes on to explain how these were altered and developed during the life of the series. The author has tried to answer every question ever asked of him about the Z1.
To complement this detail, Original Kawasaki Z1, Z900 & KZ900 contains over 200 specially commissioned colour photographs. Superb examples of all models have been painstakingly photographed to illustrate every aspect of the engineering and design, and all the main points of change through the series. The Z1, the ‘King of the Road’, brought to the general public performance and prestige never before seen from a production motorcycle. Original Kawasaki Z1, Z900 & KZ900 celebrates this landmark motorcycle by bringing a renowned expert’s vast knowledge to Z1 enthusiasts.
