Top of the Range

Five years after the presentation of the legendary Z1, the end is reached for a model range. Lessons learned from the development of previous models lead to another milestone of motorcycle history. Kawasaki presented a technological and optically mature superbike with a 1000cc engine for private use, which simultaneously dominated racing and also appeared in a legendary movie. Converted into a mean machine, its driver Jim took on a motorcycle gang equipped with high powered technology based on the same model. Unfortunately, he lost his fight to “maintain right” within a post-apocalyptic and lawless scenario, but his legacy lives on.

This volume tells both stories and also presents the work of some of the most talented bike builders in the world.
