KAWASAKI’S BIG ZED WAS TO BE THE COMPANY’S FLAGSHIP SPORTS-TOURER

MODERN CLASSICS GEN 1 ZX-10

IF ANY litre-class motorcycle screams high eighties glam, it’s a Kawasaki ZX-10. Also sold as the Tomcat, the big bruiser was a key transition model from the firm’s iconic GPz900R through to the mighty ZZ-R1100.

The run-list went: GPz900R from 1984; GPZ1000RX from 1986; ZX-10 from 1988; ZZ-R1100 from 1990.

Where however the first two generations were effectively the marque’s top-flight sports bikes, by the time the ZX-10 rolled along Kawasaki was splitting its performance offerings into two niches. They were sports, led by the ZXR750 (aimed at the then-new world superbikes class) and sports-touring led by the ZX-10.
