Vehicle Information
Kawasaki KZ1100 Motorcycle - Street (1981-1983)
The Kawasaki KZ1100, produced from 1981 to 1983, was a versatile motorcycle combining performance with touring capabilities. Representing the final evolution of Kawasaki's air-cooled inline-four platform, it was powered by a 1089 cc engine. This four-stroke, transverse four-cylinder, DOHC, 2-valve per cylinder engine was designed to offer a smooth and powerful riding experience, suitable for long journeys as well as sporty outings.
Throughout its production from 1981 to 1983, the KZ1100 maintained a consistent core engine architecture of 1089 cc, air-cooled and carbureted. Rather than significant mid-cycle generation changes, Kawasaki introduced various trims to diversify the offering. Models such as the KZ1100-A (standard), the Spectre (cruiser-styled with shaft drive), and the LTD were offered, each featuring distinct styling and equipment, while retaining the fundamental KZ1100 platform. It is important to note that the KZ1100 was distinct from the GPz1100, which, although sharing an engine base, underwent more significant revisions, including electronic fuel injection.
