1984 Kawasaki ZG1300-A1 review from United Kingdom
"Silky-smooth straight-line scorcher"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Original ignition coils started to fail when hot (but not bad considering they were 20 years old).
That's about it, apart from the usual consumables.
General comments?
As long as you remember that these are old-skool muscle bikes & treat the handling accordingly, they represent very fast, reliable classic biking.
