I have won many classic trophies, at rally's up and down the country with this bike.

Taken from an 1976 Road test.                                                                                   There is one sure way to get respect from other road users when you are on two wheels, ride a Kawasaki Z1000 four. The sheer majesty of the machine is enough to impress, you glide along feeling like the king of the road. The big Kawasaki has become a legend in its own lifetime. That legend has been based on arm-wrenching performance. The action is instantaneous on the big 1,015 cc four. Regardless of revs, a flick of the wrist on the twistgrip is enough to literally take your breath away. There is no doubt at all that the latest model is light years ahead for its smoothness, quietness and ease of operation. In fact, the Z1000 is one of the few bikes - perhaps the only bike - on the market that offers a blend of outright performance, with an equal measure of round-town unfussiness and simplicity of handling. On a pound per performance basis the Kawasaki Z1000 remains the King.
