Kawasaki celebrates 50 years of Z with new limited editions

In 1972, Kawasaki Motors introduced a new era of performance motorcycles with the Z1, a model that set an important milestone for the company and for the industry.

With its impressive 903cc inline-four, the Kawasaki Z1 not only became the most powerful Japanese bike of its era, but also created a new standard for the brand’s future performance models.

Five decades later, the Z family remains a staple of the Kawasaki line up and is now more diversified than ever. 2022 marks the series’ 50th anniversary and Kawasaki is celebrating the special jubilee with an equally special limited-edition collection.
