Z900 A4 Brochure Covers
By 1976 the Z1 had become the new Z900 A4. Performance was not enhanced by smaller 26mm Mikuni carburettors. This was designed to improve economy and deliver a smoother mid -range performance. Added to a heavier braced frame - designed to improve handling - the result was not really seen by many as a move forward. Colour schemes were more subtle with greater use of pin striping rather than the larger, bolder lines used on Z1 bikes.
Z900 A4 Brochure Centre
Was the Z900 the end of the line? It was the last to use the iconic 4 into 4 exhaust system that had so characterised the Z1 bikes. Subtle improvements included a revised airbox to quieten the intake roar, and a new hazard switch clamped to the handlebar mounts. Some bikes were assembled in the USA during 1977 - to be known as the Z900 A5.

Z650 B1 Brochure Covers
By 1976 the design team that had penned the iconic Z1 had been re-formed by Kawasaki - with a brief to translate it's success into the mid range market - at the time dominated by 750cc machines and a few left over 650 twins. The Z650 was the result - you can see the styling from it's larger brother. One selling point was to beat current 750s on performance while reducing insurance costs. A big plus for young riders .

Z650 B2 Brochure Covers
Hot on the heels of the successful launch version came the Z650 B2 in 1978.
This bike featured revised electrics, a new generator cover, the caliper was
moved behind the forks and a triangular master cylinder appeared. Instruments
now featured a hazard warning switch and two new colour schemes were
applied - both shown in this brochure. By 1978 the Z650 had become the
machine of choice for newly qualified riders on a budget.

Z 650 C2 Brochure Covers
Within a year the success of the fiery new Z650 had created a thriving industry in after market parts such as engine bars, racks, four into one exhaust systems and alloy wheels.Kawasaki quickly released their own "Custom" versions. With double front discs and alloy wheels as part of the standard package they were very popular with those who could afford that "little bit extra". This reproduction brochure shows the 1978 C2 version of the machine.
Z650 C2 Brochure Centre
BIG BIKE magazine tested the Z650 in January 1977 and commented -

Z1000 A1 Brochure Covers
The Z1 and Z900 had faced increased competition from Laverda and others trying to steal the crown from the "King of Bikes" The Queen celebrated her Silver Jubilee in 1977, Triumph produced a special edition Bonneville - and Kawasaki produced the revised and improved Z1000 A1. Even Prince Charles was pictured trying one at the show. New quieter four into two silencers, a rear disc brake and thicker engine cases to reduce noise and vibration were just some of the changes. The King was back!!

The rear frame was further strengthened and an extra set of roller bearings added to the swinging arm - all designed to improve handling and comfort.
