ADVrider poll on classic motorcycles

900 Kaws lasted until 76 ( called Z-1's from 72-75 but name changed in 76 to KZ900) in 77 they were upgraded to 1000's. I bought the first KZ-1000 to come in to the dealership in late 76. My wfe and I had been married 2 years by then. She's still my pillion.

Your 74 timeline was probably correct.

Sam Brocato, a co-worker at Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (1970-1979) had a Z-1 RT 1,000 cc. He significantly increased the turbo boast and reported 147 MPH, but I do not recall if that was top end or 1/4 mile speed.

Might be this Sam Brocato

Congrats on an enduring marriage.
I made the commitment in 1971 and she still puts up with me!
