A dressed-up version of the Z400 sold as a practical middleweight for commuting and weekend touring. The factory fitted a fairing and windshield, saddlebags, a luggage rack and heavier shocks, and it came in a custom candy-copper finish with a brown seat cover. The source describes it as the only factory-equipped middleweight street bike of its time.
