During the 1970’s and 80’s, Japanese motorcycle manufacturers shook up the motor cycle world which had been dominated by the British and Europeans. During this time Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki manufactured bikes that were well made and had high performance for a smaller price tag than their contemporaries could offer. The Kawasaki Z 1000 was a force to be reckoned with on the race track, with riders like Wayne Gardner and Eddie Lawson winning races all over the globe. Those of you that grew up in the 70’s and 80’s you might remember ‘Jon’ and ‘Ponch’ riding Kz 1000s on the TV series CHiPS.
