The Kawasaki Z1

Was a motorcycle introduced in 1972 by Kawasaki. The Z1, along with Honda's CB750 from 1969, introduced the four-cylinder, across the frame, disc-braked layout to a wider public. The Z1 was groundbreaking in that it combined many different elements which previous motorcycles had used into one performance package. The names differed in some countries as Z900, 900 Z1 or 900 S4 ("Super Four"). It was the first of a long and still ongoing series of Kawasaki Z models.

The Kawasaki Z1 was developed in strict secrecy under the project name "New York Steak". In the late 1960s Kawasaki, already an established manufacturer of two-stroke motorcycles, decided to make a 750 cc four-cylinder four-stroke sports motorcycle (they even had an appearance prototype designed by McFarlane Design in 1969), but they were beaten to the marketplace by the Honda CB750. This postponed the Z1's release until its displacement could be upped to 903 cc and sold as a 1000cc-class machine.
