Heritage & Legends Vol.78 December 2025 Issue

[Machine Translation] The opening feature is "Z Special 2025"! The first feature in this volume is a look at the "today" of the Kawasaki Z series, a rare masterpiece that debuted in 1972 and is still commonly talked about today more than half a century later! The Kawasaki Z series has been admired by many motorcycle fans not only in the field of motorcycle customization, and new products and techniques are being created one after another to keep it running at its fastest. In this issue, we provide the latest information through interviews with parts manufacturers and prominent pro stores. We also cover in detail the vehicles participating in JD-STER, one of the largest drag racing events in Japan, to be held in late September. The information is fresh and a little offset from the customization and tuning methods of the vehicles, which tend to be more focused on road racing and street driving!
