This was the natural successor to the 900 range. Bored out to 1015 cc and producing 83 bhp, the biggest difference to the Z1 was the four into two exhaust system and the use of a disc brake at the rear instead of the previous drum brake. "The king is dead, long live the king!'

Major changes to the A2 were paint and decals, the repositioning of the front brake calipers to behind the fork leg and the use of lower handlebars on the UK model. The front brake master cylinder was changed from round to triangular and a diaphragm fuel tap was used for the first time on a Z. The United States got another colour option of black/gold and a special edition model, in white and fitted out with a fairing and panniers called the A2A to commemorate the Americanisation of Kawasaki
