Why did.Jobn Paige pick the new KZ550
with long-stroke front suspension?
.Johnclabns when you're a little smaller,
you have to be ready to handle anything.
Bigger is better, you say? Sometimes. But when
it comes to motorcycles, that just ain't the case.
Take the new Kawasaki KZ550, for instance.
Size-wise, some may consider it middle of the
road. But on the road, it's anything but
Of course when John bought the all new
KZ550,.he knew what he was getting into, so
to speak. That the narrow configuration of
Kawasaki's dependable four-stroke Zengine
would give him plenty of clearance for fast
cornering. That he'd get big-bike power
through all six gears. That the long-stroke,
leading axle front fork and the adjustable
rear suspension would iron out the bumps in
the road. He knew that the KZ550 would have
an electric starter and an anti-hot wire device.
Once he took tHe KZ550 out on the
road, he revelled in the handling and the performance. 13-second quarter miles really get
your heart started.
But there was a surprise. What he didn't
expect was the price.That really blew the
doors off the competition. A hike that performs this well at this price is hard to beat. All
his friends agreed with that. Once they caught
up with him.
When you check out the
KZ550at your Kawasaki
dealer, cast your eye over the
stylish KZ550 LTD.There's all
the same excitement plus
a few trick extras, like
transistorized breaker·
less ignition, a dualdensity foam rubber steppeaseat and pullback
handlebars. Choose - then get out on the road.
That's where Kawasaki's new KZ550 belongs.
