The Kawasaki ZN700 LTD Shaft was a in-line four, four-stroke standard produced by Kawasaki from 1984 to 1985. Claimed horsepower was 72.42 HP (54.0 KW) @ 9500 RPM.
Overview
Kawasaki modified the KZ model to create the ZN700 LTD, which squeaks in at 694cc to get just under the 700cc-threshold imposed by the 1980s motorcycle tariff. In 1987, Harley-Davidson petitioned for an early end to the 5-year tariff (tax) and 750 Japanese bikes were back in full force, thus giving the ZN 700 a short production cycle.
Engine
The engine was a air cooled in-line four, four-stroke. A 64.0mm bore x 54.0mm stroke result in a displacement of just 694.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin cam (dohc).
Drive
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the wet plate.
Chassis
It came with a 110/90-18 61h front tire and a 130/90-16 67h rear tire. Stopping was achieved via double disc. single piston calipers in the front and a single disc in the rear. The front suspension was a telescopic fork while the rear was equipped with a swing arm with dual air adjustable shocks. The ZN700 LTD Shaft was fitted with a 3.67 Gallon (13.90 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 478.4 pounds (217.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 59.45 inches (1510 mm) long.
