Just dug out a photo of that bike taken at the 1985 bike show in Olympia.
It was a stunning machine. Be amazing to see it restored to full glory.
Unfortunately I've only just thrown out all my bike mags from that era and I'm sure it was in the Superbike mags (but the mags had been in the garage for years and had gone mouldy and been chewed by mice).
The Kawasaki models on display that year were the the GPX750, 1000RX and the 750 turbo (I have a picture of me sitting on it looking really young and with curly hair - makes me glad I've gone bald).
When I get to a scanner I'll post the photo (of the Z not me).
