Hi Warren
an iconic bike doesn't need to be compared with others in the same book.
The description of the Z1 wouldn't leave enough place for the other bikes... :P

Not the Z1, but a very good period road test of the Z900 in Bike Magazine by 'Wild Bill Haylock' from Feb 1976, see: http://www.abacuscaralarms.co.uk/bikes/Test_Reports/Kawasaki_Z900.html

I've still got my original copy - I'll can scan and post on here if anyone wants it.
