 I was watching twist the throttle tonight  and they said the first 1972 Kawasaki Z1 had 100HP. Is this true? I fine it a little high.

that sounds just about right
in the first review they said the engine alone was worth the $1400 price tag

I haven't watched that episode yet, but it's saved on the DVR.  They did a really good one on Honda, too.

rwhp was rated at about 80, so I'm guessing 95ish at the crank.
No.
