with my 75 z900
I'm curious here....what is it ?? A Z1B or a KZ900 ??
From what I know of the 900's there was only one year of the KZ900 which was the '76.
KZ650C2 Stock/mint. Goes by "Ace".
H2A Built from a genuine basket case. Yes,it's a hot rod.
GT550A Stock/mint. Pleasant stroker.
2006 Bandit 1200S for easy LD rapid transit
Various H2 projects in the wings.

In 1973, they introuduced the Z1
In 1974, the Z1A
In 1975, the Z1B
In 1976, the KZ900
But some KZ900s spilled into 1977.
That's in the USA (and Canada, I think).
In Europe, and I-don't-know-where-else, the '76 model was a Z900. Don't know why KZ wasn't used overseas.

73=Z1, 74=Z1A, 75=Z1B 76=KZ900A4 and KZ900B1 (LTD) and 77=KZ900A5 and KZ900B2
The A4 thing was put in there to keep you guessing I guess since the previous year the Z1 model was a "B" and they used the "B" designator on the LTD the next year. Maybe they planned on selling "Kawasaki Trivial Pursuit" and was planning to make it a tough game? hehe

I've been doing a little research on this whole designation thing and from what I've read it seems that not even the "experts" have all the designations nailed down.....even 30+ years later. Maybe, just maybe, Kawasaki has a master list squirelled away in a vault somewhere in Japan....but I wouldn't bet on it. The whole thing gives me a headache just thinking about it. Maybe this winter I'll have a go at collating all the different info I have and see if I can make some sense out of it....but probably won't be able to.Maybe they planned on selling "Kawasaki Trivial Pursuit" and was planning to make it a tough game?
