When did the Kawasaki Kz1000 police come out?
An evolution of the KAZ900, the KZ1000 was the fastest production bike when it was released in 1976 (as a ’77 model) thanks to its 83 horsepower, 1,015cc inline four motor. The bike might be most famous for the police variant, which gained popularity on the show CHiPs and managed to stay in production until 2005.
What was the best year for the KZ1000?
1979 was a good year for the KZ1000. In addition to the new squared-off Z1-R look, it got a slightly beefed-up, stronger engine. 28mm Mikuni carbs replace the 26mm versions on earlier models and help give some extra horsepower. 1979 was also the year Freddie Spencer rode one to a Superbike win at Sears Point.
