Zl-R. OUTASIGHT! Kawasaki We know why you ride. We were reaching for the outer limit. A motorcycle possessing performance , styl ing and reliability beyond all other attempts . We think we got there . The Z1-R. Get on . Tuck in tight. Go for it. Duck unde r the functional beauty of the smoked windscreen . Feel it move out. Awesome . Performance that is Z all the way with a new 90 hp, 1015cc engine that's ready when you are . Lean it into the turns. Try it. Feel the tuned suspension-it's new, too. And for shutting down quick, three big drilled discs on two trick -and -true alloy wheels . Climb off. Take another look and check out the ultra-slick gas tank. Long, low. Note how it blends right into the seat and the fairing. Check the paint , too . Distinctive. And all the extra details, like a full set of instruments plus an ammeter and a fuel guage . For added safety, self -cancelling turn signals that compute both time and distance so as not to shut off when you need them , or stay on when you don't. At night you 'll have the added security of knowing that you're riding behind a dual -filament quartz-halogen headlight. . Z1-R. For the best of the good times. Tuck in on it, and see a world that very few riders can even imagine . KAWAS AKI BELIEVE S IN RIDING SAFELY. CHECK LOCA L LAWS BEFORE YOU RIDE .
