...There are some differences between models sold in the US and elsewhere in what was offered in what year.
Yep. I thought about putting 2 cents in on the "77 KZ900" line as well, then remembered that Kaw did some funny things with model/year crossovers.
It's hard enough to trust the factory (buykaw.com)designations, much less "aftermarket" sites...

History of the Kawasaki 900
Since the 77 KZ900 has a different model number (KZ900 A5) than a 76 KZ900 (KZ900 A4), it seems to me that Kawasaki intended them to be 77 models. But I'm not a Kawasaki 900 expert
Source: WikipediaKZ900 Police Special - The 1977 KZ900 motorcycle, upgraded for use as a police motorcycle
According to Zedder there were 5,237 1977 KZ900 A5's produced.
31,359 1976 KZ900 A4's produced in Japan.
10,340 1976 KZ900 A4's produced in the USA.
5,503 1976 KZ900 B1 LTD's produced.
Plus or minus one or two due to my math is possible

I'm a little puzzled about that, buykawasaki.com lists 1976 KZ900A4 (the standard), KZ900B1 (the LTD) and a KZ900 Police, but for the 77 model year they only list the 1977 KZ900A5, and not the LTD or Police Models. During my Google search I ran across references to a 77 KZ900 Police but nothing for a 77 KZ900B2 LTD.there is alot of useful info at z1 enterprises..and alot of good parts, too. helpful place. on the subject of 77 kz900's, weren't they all ltd's? or were there some kz900 standards too?

There's a decent - if a bit spotty - pictorial history of the Z - KZ Police bikes at:
