As the new decade began in 1980, Kawasaki released a range of motorcycle models that would go on to become iconic, and remain popular even today. The 1981 Kawasaki motorcycle lineup was no exception, introducing riders to an exciting selection of performance bikes with modern styling and innovative features.
The most notable model was the KZ1000J, which set the bar for sport bikes with its powerful engine and agile handling. Featuring a 998cc four-stroke engine, the KZ1000J could hit speeds up to 140 mph. It also featured a full-floating double-disc front brake for superior stopping power, as well as a slipper clutch and adjustable damping for improved cornering.
The 1981 lineup also included the GPz550, an all-around performer with a liquid-cooled 553cc four-stroke engine. The GPz550 was designed to be comfortable and easy to ride, with a wide handlebar and plush suspension. It also had a six-speed transmission and a limited-slip differential for superior traction.
Not only were these models incredibly capable on the track, they were also reliable and affordable, making them popular with enthusiasts and commuters alike. Today, the 1981 Kawasaki models remain popular with vintage motorcycle collectors, as well as those looking for an affordable and reliable ride.
