Just as Kawasaki was about to green-light the world's first
mass-produced across-the-frame four-cylinder motorcycle, Honda
pulled the rug out from under them, unveiling the CB750-4 at the
Tokyo Show in 1968. It lit the fuse for what was to become
motorcycling's most explosive decade. In never before published
interviews, with the men responsible for the bike code-named 'New
York Steak, ' Dave Sheehan relates the story behind the Z1's
development; the secret US testing programme in which a team
including Imola-race winner Paul Smart rode pre-production bikes
disguised as Hondas coast-to-coast across America. The Kawasaki Z1
Story examines the myth, truth and legend surrounding the Z1's
first race win - of which even Kawasaki knew nothing. Here, too, is
the full story of the epic three days at Florida's legendary
Daytona Speedway when a trio of Z1s broke more than 50 speed
endurance records.
