Explain What Z means? was created by mzandmz
What does the K,Z mean? I keep reading and seeing people talk about thier Z bikes Z1000. Is K for KAWASAKI and Z for Zippy or what? Theres CR and so on. B1 B2 B3 C1 and so on I know B1 is for the 1977 model B2 has Aluminum Wheels So a different package or custom trim. Any Ideas?

I could be wrong here but I think Z is for Zaphod as in Zaphod Breeblebrox who will one day be President of the Galaxy. He(both heads), Trillian his girlfriend, Arthur Dent and Marvin will one day cruise the Galaxy in the "Heart of Gold" using the Improbability Drive. They will eventually end up at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Milliways! :laugh:

But it could mean something else altogether. ;)

KZ is Japanese for Kool!

To find the true meaning you need to watch the movie 42 times.
