Kawasaki zephyr (ZEPHYR) is the motorcycle which Kawasaki Heavy Industries produces. It was produced as a series car model according to displacement volume, but only ZEPHYR χ is released now in 2008.
I push it, and, for racer replica glory years, it is released a style without a nostalgic cowl daringly by the front. This is popular with users in search of a choice except a full cowl and shows explosive sales, and it is it with a central figure of Ney kid boom. The horsepower setting that was not conscious of self-imposed restraint would cast a rock for the catalogue specifications competition that was overheated too much daringly, and it was it with the turning point that a style of selection of of a motorcycle of a user changed.

As for the hit of this zephyr, it was it with both withdrawal and a driving force to let big profit source of the company rebear by a two-wheeled vehicle business of examined Kawasaki Heavy Industries by a poor sale in a replica boom.

I meant fall wind in English, and I loaded it with a new idea to the industry to blow from Akashi of Kawasaki Heavy Industries two-wheeled vehicle production foothold factory to and a wish that it seemed to be it, and it was named a zephyr (ZEPHYR). In addition, I have already acquired ZEPHYR as a trademark as the four-wheeled vehicle use which Ford Corporation produces, but because Kawasaki Heavy Industries wants to never name ZEPHYR to this new car, I perform negotiations with Ford, and there is the process that got the right to use of a name in those days.

It was common that the motorcycle which four two domestic makers produced transcribed a car model name to a maker logo, a side cover to a fuel tank, but "KAWASAKI" and the transcribed design were very fresh to "ZEPHYR", a side cover to a fuel tank in those days adversely.

I received sockeroo of 400cc afterwards, and the 1,100cc model that exceeded 750cc model and it was released and became a long hit car model both. Steel tube frame, one circle eyes light, non-cowl, four air-cooling series cylinder engines, two リヤサス can stream down an atmosphere of Z-2 which is a model car model with specifications same as 400cc model both. Is strong, and round fuel tank, cam cover, 造型 of a tail remind the 750cc model that is "a 750cc motorcycle" same as Z-2 in particular of Z-2; is done.

In addition, I changed it of a cast wheel of normal specifications to a spoke wheel (tube tire specifications) to thicken an atmosphere of Z-1 / Z-2 more, and zephyr 750RS / 1100RS which arranged a solid emblem (but style of handwriting is different from a thing of Z-1 / Z-2) of "KAWASAKI" for フュエルタンク was done 一時期併売 of.

ZEPHYR (400cc) was released as ZEPHYR χ (zephyr chi .399cc .53HP) of four valve specifications later to be opposed to Ney kid motorcycle of other companies, but first 400cc 2 of two valves continued being done 年程度併売 of. In addition, 750cc model is used as an instruction car of a large-sized motorcycle.

In addition, I became the production end with the end of 2006, and, with 750cc model .1100cc model, the finals edition model that changed a fire ball color and the seat emblem which reminded of a first generation model of Z-1 / Z-2 was sold.
ZEPHYR1100 - 86HP 1,062cc(I make an engine of Voyager XII which I appeared in 1986 an air-cooling and use use, two spark plugs per one cylinder)
