Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Top of the Range Five years after the presentation of the legendary Z1, the end is reached for a model range. Lessons learned from the development of previous models lead to another milestone of motorcycle history. Kawasaki presented a technological and optically mature superbike with a 1000cc engine for private use, which simultaneously dominated racing and also appeared in a legendary movie. Converted into a mean machine, its driver Jim took on a motorcycle gang equipped with high powered technology based on the same model. Unfortunately, he lost his fight to “maintain right” within a post-apocalyptic and lawless scenario, but his legacy lives on. This volume tells both stories and also presents the work of some of the most talented bike builders in the world. Have you ever wondered what the correct owner tools are for your vintage Kawasaki? You will find the answer here as well.
