1970 Triumph Bonneville
The 1970 Triumph Bonneville did not seem like a standout when it first came out. In fact, it is not a stretch to say that it was a regular twin 4-stroke engine bike. Bonneville perfected this engine after only three generations, which is quite impressive. The name of the bike was taken from the Bonneville Salt Flats. Triumph and other manufacturers competed hear to beat record motorcycle speeds back then!

Kawasaki Z1
In 1972, Kawasaki released the Z1. This made it a strong competitor of the Honda CB750. The Z1 was considered a pioneer of sorts and is considered to be a Universal Japanese Motorcycle. This meant that it followed the guidelines and regulations set by bodies in power all over the world. The Z1 came with a large-capacity 4-cylinder motorcycle with a double-overhead camshaft system. The bike has been credited for carving a path for many import trades that came after it.
