40th Anniversary of the Z was created by mtbspeedfreak
While looking for more info on the Yoshimura R&D superbike , I found this website on the 40th Anniversary of the Z . It's pretty cool!

It's in Japanese. I use the Google Chrome internet browser which will translate the Japanese to English.

I wouldn't mind printing out the poster of the dissected Z1 engine and hanging in my garage!

Here is a nice poster I have on my office wall that I purchased from a member here who made some posters of one he found, vintage Kaw dragbikes.

I like the idea of the cutaway Z1 motor poster it would look cool next to the gigantic one on my wall now, anyone care to make some posters? I would pay $20 bucks for one if someone wants the challenge, any takers?
