The Z1, GPz900R, ZZR, Ninja H2 and H2R – all set the standard for performance of their time. Designed with the goal of being the most powerful machines in the world, Kawasaki motorcycles have always been synonymous with Power.
That list should start with the H1 and H2!

However, this pursuit of power and top speed has not produced a fleet of violent, untameable machines.
Now that's just a kick in the teeth! 
It was those violent, untameable machines that put big K in the performance spotlight and paved the way for the Z1 etc. 
Of course, anyone who has ridden with me knows that I would never get off my bike and say "that was a nice gentle ride..."
