1978 Kawaski KZ1000 Z1R sport-tourer Vintage 1000CC sport bike The Z1-R used essentially the same frame as the KZ1000 (albeit with extra stiffening gussets), which was little changed from the earlier and lighter Z1. Kawasaki also fitted stylish new alloy wheels, the front now being 18 inches instead of 19. That reduced the already scant trail even more, making the version livelier still than its predecessor.Add in stiffer rear springs and increased damping and you had bike that was less than elegant on the move. “It doesn’t roll over bumps,” wrote Cycle Guide, “it bounces from crest to crest.” Our Z1R benefits from Mikuni carbs and free flowing Vance and Hines Headers and exhaust system. Engine is DOHC cylinder producing 90HP at 8000 RPMs with top speed of 132 MPH. Not too shabby for bike thats 40 years old. custom autometer gauge has been added as seen in photos. Wheels are in good condition and are wrapped in Pirelli tires front and rear with plenty of tread leftand no flat spotting anywhere.
