1973 KAWASAKI H2-A Mach IV 750cc by Denise & Rick, on Flickr

If you’ve poured over the charts and graphs you know by now that the Kawasaki 750 delivered the test’s low ET, second-highest quarter-mile speed, the fastest lap time, the strongest braking force, the highest torque and horsepower readings on the dynamometer, the highest power-to-weight ratio, the lowest price, the fewest dollars spent per point earned, and the highest point total—399.6 against a perfect total of 400.

Based on performance alone, it is without a question of doubt the King of the Superbikes.

Right behind it, with a point total of 399.0, is the devastating 903cc Z1, which delivers nearly as much absolute performance as does the Mach IV and a bunch more on hand ...

god bless Kawasaki ... :laughing:toothless

Go to the vintage cafe part of Barf and check the Sunday Morning ride posting. 1974, $100K for a house in Muir Beach was a mind-blowing amount of money there.

This. You could get a house in Carmel for $75k then. Same house today? $1.3 million.
