Yeah, Death , one page write up. They list the 10 best Kwaks of all time the Z750 Turbo makes #9.
Want full list?
#10 Z1
#9 Turbo
#8 H2 Mach IV

H2 ahead of the Z1????, but I do have to agree about the cruiser style bikes. Could it be possible that the "turbo" is actually the Z1R-tc?
And who mentioned the Z900?? I had a KZ900 from the good ol' USA and the best thing about that was the Corbin seat. The KZ/Z900 was certainly no improvement over earlier Z1s. It seemed the Z900 with the double disc had a few less problems with brake fade but were even more scary in the wet taking even longer to actually start working when you first put them on.

This would seem to be a good thread to ask if anyone has a spare head from anything between a Z1000J thru to the last GPz1100. It's for a good cause.

My turbo has an original '73 Z1 cases and gearbox, talk about over-engineered! And then Kawasaki increased the size of the cranks in the Mk2s after some Yanks broke a few. I also have a Kawasaki poster of the Z1 engine which is dated 1972.

I take it Geoff that you still own shares in the mag then?! I bet you ride a really crap bike - oh - on the other hand you obviously have really good taste and know quality when you see it (Biff slowly retreats mumbling).

Is that the UK publishes performance Bike mag? I haven't seen it on sale anywhere here.

Whitcoulls in Cashel St has this mag

Kawasaki where developed a 750 4 cylinder 4-stroke. Honda bet them to market so produced it as a 900 I think.

Correct. The project name was pork chop or beef steak or something. The poster is for a 900 Z1 engine, dated October 1972. My first wife had a '74 Z1 which had a Z2 frame. It looked identical to my Z1 frame but when I picked them both up at the same time her frame was quite a bit lighter. I fitted GSX750 carbs to hers and that would have to be one of the best mods ever.

And the first box of Z1's arrived in NZ November 1972. And were cheaper then the following years by a considerable amount apparently (prices went up with demand i guess)
