"Kawasaki 900 Z1" (1973) orange/brown
Shown here in the 'Tango' colours, the 1973 Kawasaki 900 Z1 is a motorcycle that
redefined the standards for performance and reliability, earning it a
place in history as one of the greatest bikes ever made. The Z1 was
powered by a 903cc inline-four engine, producing 82bhp and
allowing for a top speed of around 130mph. This engine was a marvel of
engineering, known for its smooth power delivery, durability, and
low-maintenance requirements, setting a new benchmark for four-stroke
motorcycles. The Z1's design was equally groundbreaking, with its sleek
lines, teardrop fuel tank, and four exhaust pipes giving it a
distinctive and muscular appearance. The 1973 Z1 was finished in a
combination of brown and orange, a colour scheme that became iconic and
instantly recognisable. The bike's handling was balanced and
predictable, thanks to its well-designed frame and suspension, making it
a favourite among both casual riders and enthusiasts. The Kawasaki 900 Z1
is celebrated not just for its performance but also for its influence on
the development of modern superbikes, cementing its status as a true
classic.
