This comprehensive book provides the full background and history of
the groundbreaking Kawasaki Z1. The author describes how 'King Zed'
became a sensation after its launch in 1972, combining incredible
performance with convenience, reliability and practicality.
Although pipped to the post as the first four-cylinder 'superbike'
by the 1969 Honda CB750, Kawasaki riposted with extra power and a
top speed of 135mph, knocking the opposition into second place. The
fastest production motorcycle of its time, the Z1 received rave
reviews in the motorcycle press. Rod Ker describes the various
makeovers that the model received later in production, and how it
was given a new lease of life as the fuel-injected GPZ1100. Finally
superseded in 1984 by lighter and more efficient models like the
all-new water-cooled GPZ900R, the Z1 had already become established
as a classic and an appreciating asset.
