Kawasaki 1000 LTD

The Kawasaki Kz1000 or Z1000 is a motorcycle made in Japan by Kawasaki, released in September 1976 as a 1977 model to replace the KZ900/Z1 launched in 1972 in the Z series. It has an inline-four cylinder engine and a 5-speed transmission, in a 'one down and four up' configuration. Producing about 90 hp, it was the fastest production motorcycle of the era.

 

The frame on the Kz1000 is a very conventional featherbed design, but was not significantly changed in over 30 years of production.

 

The more cruiser-like US version was called 1000 LTD in European markets.
