Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The End of a Legend The era of the superbikes has just started, and it is already the end of a legend. The last 903cc four cylinder four-stroke engine equipped Zed appeared on the stage. The reader of this volume will get to know about the build-up of an almost perfect Zed. Almost because it didn’t have the 1-liter engine which the customers of that era now expected. The 903cc engine was fitted to the new Z900 series. These Kawasaki top models appeared in 1976. The sale numbers, however, were low and the series ended in 1977 with the Z900 A5. “Code Z” tells the story.
