First and foremost it was, and is, utterly, lust-inducingly gorgeous. The fit and finish was exemplary and the styling breathtaking. The kicked up rear seat fairing, slim saddle and aggressive exhaust pipes looked like a motorcyclist’s bike – a machine that you rushed home from work and just rode and rode and rode simply because it was king of all it surveyed. On a Z1 you were top of the gas-powered tree – on two or four wheels. Although a fun ride, the Z1’s has a top speed of 140 mph. The Kawasaki was far more than just a pretty face. The engineering was exemplary and clever too. Everything except really major maintenance could be done with the engine in the frame. The motor might have been DOHC, normally the realm of GP racers of the day, but it was simple and totally unbreakable in even hard use. Kawasaki cut no corners in terms of the engine. The all roller bearing crankshaft was made up of nine individual components and was over-engineered even for racing. The eight-plate clutch was huge and unbreakable and the pinions in the five-speed gearbox massive. Little wonder then, that these engines are still raced today. Riding a Z1 today is still a wonderful experience – right at the top of the classic bike tree. The big Z1 will waft effortlessly up to 80 mph on a whiff of throttle and cruise there all day long. The Kawasaki was far more than just a pretty face. The engineering was exemplary and clever too. Although now belonging to the classic bike world, the Kawasaki Z1 holds its own and is still a joy to ride. The Z1 is a practical bike too, being just as reliable as ever and with a fine supply of parts – many provided by Kawasaki’s original suppliers. The only downside is the price. The Z1’s virtues are widely recognized and therefore expect to pay an eye-watering $20,000 for a really stunning Z1, Z1A or Z1B.' |

The North East,Prescott and fast laps with Chris Walker at Mallory
Thu, 26 Apr 2012A big thanks to all at Newcastle Motorcycles for lending me a Honda CB1000F on Saturday to do nothing other than join mates for a blast round some fantastic roads in the North East. The buddies in question were Alan Smith (Bradley’s dad) and two stroke addict and race fan Chris Berriman. We headed east over the moors from the ‘Toon’ heading towards Barnard Castle then back through Consett before finishing up at the picturesque Tynemouth.

2013 Kawasaki ZX-14R Now Available With Optional ABS
Thu, 13 Sep 2012After making a bold statement last year as the king of the hyperbike segment, there wasn’t much to complain about with the Ninja ZX-14R. With gobs of power, torque and all-around badassery, we liked the 14R so much we named it our 2012 Motorcycle of the Year. However, that doesn’t mean we didn’t have one minor gripe.
