In spite of an internal agreement among the Japanese manufacturers to launch no motor bikes with a cubic capacity over 750 cc, in autumn 1972 Kawasaki presented surprisingly the 900 Z1 Super 4 to the world public. This was a powerful four-stroke bike with 82 hp @ 8500rpm. It had two above placed cam shafts and four carburettors and reached a maximum speed of 210 km/h, sensational in those days.
Therefore the bike was given the nickname The New York Steak. According to the state of the art the 246 kg Kawa was equipped with a hydraulic disc brake at the front wheel; at the rear wheel a conservative drum brake was installed. The four-in-four exhaust pipe stressed the powerful appearance of the Z1 with thunderous acoustics. The Kawasaki type 900 Z1 turned out to be a bestseller - not only owing to its outstanding performance and faultless optical characteristic, but also thanks to its favourable retail price of $1,900. It became the undisputed star among the super bikes of the 70's with 1,500 vehicles per month including the European markets.
