After Kawasaki had already offered the original Z650 (with a four-cylinder in-line engine with 49 kW (66 hp) and a mass of 220 kg) in 1976, the machine, externally similar to the 1976 model, has also been available as a Z650 RS retro version since the summer of 2022 as a parallel twin. [8] The top speed is 191 km/h (119 mph). [9]
An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety anti-skid braking system used on aircraft and on land vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses. [1] ABS operates by preventing the wheels from locking up during braking, thereby maintaining tractive contact with the road surface and allowing the driver to maintain more control over the ...
1977 KZ650 with aftermarket seat, wire-spoked wheels and drum rear brake. This first Z650 had a single front 275 mm disc brake and a 250 mm rear drum.Although the Z650's engine was based on the 900 cc (55 cu in) there were several differences: the 650 used a plain bearing crankshaft with a HyVo (or "Morse") chain primary drive instead of a gear drive, which necessitated the installation of a ...
Kawasaki's first title was with Dave Simmonds in 1969 when they won the 125 cc World Championship. Kawasaki dominated the 250 cc and 350 cc grand prix classes from 1978 to 1982 winning four titles in each category. With the introduction of the four-stroke engines into MotoGP in 2002, Kawasaki decided to take part in the new MotoGP World ...

[3] The name Versys is a portmanteau of the words versatile and system. [4]
For the basic problem of solving a linear system of m equations in n variables, where , ABS methods use the following simple geometric idea: Given an arbitrary initial estimate of the solution, find one of the infinite solutions, defining a linear variety of dimension n − 1, of the first equation.
