The Kawasaki Z1

The Z1 Kawasaki was a 4 stroke 750cc 4-cylinder sports motorcycle,this was quickly upgraded to a 903cc bike to "out do" its japanese rivals which had also launched 750cc bikes.
After its introduction it earned the nickname "The King". The combination of a 903cc engine, dual overhead cams and high power combined with integral styling of tank and body pieces to create a motorcycle for the masses that had never been seen before.
after the impact of this bike all other manufacturers had to change to keep pace with the Z1 sales.
These bike wars directly lead to the demise of the flagging British motorcycle industry.The American motorcycle industry (mainly Harley-Davidson) was also on its last legs and was only saved by radical restructuring and inventive financing

The Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Nomad

True to its name, Kawasaki’s Vulcan 1600 Nomad is ready to travel and there’s no surprise this ready made touring-cruiser is a popular choice. Highlighted by a strong frame and excellent power from a 95-cubic inch V-Twin, the Nomad also has extensive touring features, a stylish appearance, and excellent riding dynamics.
Propelling the vulcan is a 1,552cc V-twin engine generating plenty of highway power to take its rider anywhere the road leads them.and the engine has a distinctive V-twin rumble or power-pulse feeling from its single-pin crankshaft.
Crucial on a laden tourer - as when maneuvering in parking lots - the 1600 Nomad’s steering geometry is designed so that the motorcycle feels more neutral at low speeds, while an air-adjustable rear suspension allows the Nomad to maintain the correct geometry even when loaded with a passenger and luggage.
The Nomad is highlighted by several standard chrome and creature comforts: Chrome engine guards and a thick passenger seat equipped with a backrest and aluminum grab bars. Floorboards for the rider and passenger combine to make long-distance rides more comfortable and pleasurable. Streamlined and stylish hard saddlebags are standard fare and provide generous storage for those overnight rides.
Self-canceling turn signals, a 5.3-gallon fuel tank, topped by an elegant electronic speedometer and LED odometer/tripmeter display let Nomad owners fully enjoy their ride. Other standard features such as an adjustable windshield, plush air-assisted rear suspension and adjustable levers tailor the Nomad to its rider.
