The Z1 was initially developed as a 750cc model to compete with Honda's CB750, but Kawasaki increased its capacity to set a new benchmark for superbike performance. This KZ900A4 has been entered from the collection of Brian Ditchfield, a retired engineer and lifelong motorcycle enthusiast who has in the past run a very successful Sidecar GP team, finishing in the top six in the 2003 World Championship. It looks to have been imported from the USA so could have been manufactured in Kawasaki's factory in Nebraska where most of the home market bikes were made in the mid-1970s, and then given the title 'KZ' instead of 'Z' as in the UK. The A4 was towards the end of the run of 903cc bikes with wire wheels and the single disc front brake; a dating certificate from the Kawasaki Club suggests it was made in September 1975. It is presented in authentic 1970s specification with a stainless-steel 4-into-1 exhaust, K+N style air filters and chromed engine covers, the sort of modifications most owners did to their bikes at the time. Not run for a while, it will need the normal checks before use. It is offered with many receipts, mainly from Z-Power, its original New Mexico US Title, a Dating Letter and a current V5C.
