Heritage & Legends Vol.64 Mister Bike BG Zokan October 2024 Issue

[Machine Translation] The opening feature is "Zephyr 1100/750"! The roots model ZEPHYR (400) debuted in 1989. The Zephyr series, from which the 750 was born in 1990 and the 1100, the flagship of the series, in 1992, is featured in this special issue. The Zephyr, with its air-cooled 2-valve 4-cylinder engine and steel frame that seemed to turn back the clock, embodied the term "naked bike" that was born during this period and represented the early 1990s. It was also Kawasaki's last air-cooled bike, and even now, more than 15 years after its end in 2007, it still enjoys the support of many fans. This issue focuses on the "now" of the Zephyr series. We will provide the latest information on customization and maintenance through store interviews, which is one of our specialties, as well as the distribution status of used vehicles and the supply of aftermarket parts. The second special feature is entitled "A Look at New Technologies in the Motorcycle World!
