The Kawasaki Z1 is a motorcycle produced by Kawasaki from 1973 to 1975.
Intro

Introduced in late 1972, the Z1 was Kawasaki's first four-cylinder, four-stroke motorcycle. The Z1 became the "King of the Road" and an industry leader; as the first production motorcycle to bring such high performance and prestige to the general public.
