The list of new or improved features or components is too long to list, so suffice to say that Kawasaki’s new Z1000 naked streetfighter (pictured above) is both fast and maneuverable. More info and more pics may be found on the New Models page here.

Some 46 years after it was stolen from the backyard of its owner in Nebraska, U.S. Customs and Border Protection last week recovered a black and blue 1953 Triumph Tiger Stolen Triumph100. It was found at the Port of Los Angeles where it was on its way to Japan.

The bike originally cost $300, but its current value as listed in the shipping documents is $9,000. The bike’s original owner, who reported it missing in February 1967, still lives in Omaha, NE. Donald DeVault is now 73 and has a Harley-Davidson and Kawasaki in his garage.
