The Kawasaki Z1 was mad, bad and dangerous to know. So in the mid-90s, Kawasaki decided to revive the legend and create a tribute bike, the Zephyr. Unfortunately the Zephyr didn’t quite have the excitement or edgy nature of the original. But it sold well in Europe, so there are a quite a few around; they’re relatively cheap secondhand, and they’re less likely to kill you than a Z1.
Portugal’s Ton-Up Garage has just shown what you can achieve with relatively few mods to a Zephyr, which in this case, is a 1993 750 model. It’s called ‘Zephyrus’ and caused a bit of a stir at the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride in Oporto a couple of months ago.
这不是一个大的预算生成或激进的变革，但佩德罗·奥利维拉和机组人员已经解除了西风到一个新水平。在空冷738 cc引擎是强大的，并与75马力的的形式，有大量足够的魅力,对于大多数车手。它已经竖起了免费流量空气过滤器和一个尖锐的前瞻性排气，以重新喷相匹配。
有一个新的后副车架，一个简单的咖啡厅赛车风格的尾翼具有结构紧凑尾灯，和一个新的皮革单座。经修订的侧面板覆盖电气和电池，而且有较短的挡泥板前面。footpegs都消失了，由rearsets取代，与LSL剪辑元件加剧了运动骑车的立场。涂黑的轮子，现在轮胎为米其林赛车雨胎。如果你觉得和风的立场有所改善，你说得对，前悬挂已缩短一点在前面一个稍微更强硬的立场。
它只是显示了一些深思熟虑出来的mods（和良好的用眼油漆）怎么能对一个相对不起眼的摩托车有很大的影响。
