My brother owned both of these bikes. The CBX on his 17th birthday then the 1300 when he was 18, back in 1980/81. The engine notes of both are still very vivid in my head, but hearing and seeing them together is just awesome. Great video.
Looking at performance specs of the time, the two bikes ran nearly neck to neck in the quarter mile, with the CBX just edging out the KZ1300 by a couple tenths of a second. The KZ1300 has 15 more HP and 22 lb/ft more torque than the CBX. But the water cooling added more than 100 pounds of additional wet weight to the KZ1300 which made things break more or less even.
Mark If memory serves me right the z1300 was 0 to 60....3 sec. The one thing i didn't like ( CBX ) was the tricky cam chains Cam to cam then one to the crank . Soon goes of tune.
@@Mr75044 I have seen claims for both having 3.0 second 0-60. And just like all the claims by average riders their V-Max could do high 10's, I would say "not with you on it". The CBX has 5 chains total. And the jackshaft and two oil pumps. But I'd say engine and carburetor work on the KZ1300 was more a pain than the CBX because the CBX was air cooled and easier to access and remove from the chassis. I'd rather work on a CBX than even a SOHC CB750, anytime.

Hey, it's called the CBX because it's closer to a 1000cc =X, not 1100 Plus 24 valve against a 12 valve. True the 12 valve is liquid cooled, but so does twice as many valves. One was a sport bike the other one was painted like one. 81 And 82, was a sport touring bike shaft drive with the mono shock. However the 79 and 80, with twin shocks, or shorter, theoretically allowing you to lean less at the same speed. I saw very few naked kz1300 s. Most of them cruise around like motorhomes, with drivetrain lash from the shaft. Just saying........
As a multiple CBX owner since 1984 that street raced against all of the superbikes of the 70's, 80's, and early 90's, until retiring my early production (built in May of 78) 1st CBX from that abuse, I can say the CBX was noticeably quicker and sounded better than the KZ, but the1300 had 5 mph more top speed in stock trim. The later CBX engines (ones built with the spiral cylinder studs) didn't make as much peak horsepower as the early ones, though. The CBX's performance was also very sensitive to overheating and it would quickly overheat in any kind of slow speed operation in traffic.
I remember my friend Billy hall had a Z1300 kawasaki, I had a RD350lc at the time, I couldn't believe how heavy the Z1300 was, rare beast as well, the cbx was an amazing bike to see, that big wide 6cyl unit, bikes had character back in the 80s
The sound of both of those sixes opening up together sounds really quite exotic these days , that z1300 sounds more brutal than the frantic scream of the cbx , you can tune a z1300 motor a lot more than a cbx too .
Learn to tune. My CBX has forged pistons, h-beam like rods, and nitrous. No problems with tune at all. Helps not using factory carbs. Kawasaki really showed up to compete with that KZ1300. No doubts, and tuned like my CBX, it would out power my CBX.
I love 2 strokes the sound and smell is the best feeling ever I’m currently collecting a few bikes myself nothing of this magnitude however I get the same smile on my face every time I fire one up 😊
Wow these bikes are incredible guys! Just a thought, have you ever put any of these big bikes on your dyno? It'd be super fun to see which one reins king
A friend of mine had the cbx1100 it was bad ass!! But that Kawasaki sounds amazing!! I had a 83 suzuki 750es and that Cbx would be chasing me down on the straight away
I remember buying my 1st bike which was a Z250 scorpion in the early 80s and there was a Z1300 in the showroom I have a K1600 now but the sound off the Z1300 is epic
Both bikes are real spine tingling machines just on the scream alone. But both are monsters in weight too for a regular rider machine. Id like to hear a modified V-max with open carbs and a V&H to see how it compares? All in all a tuned Kawasaki Eliminator 900 would be the big bike for me I think. You cant do your shopping on a CR or KX125.
Had a couple of z13 and cbx1000s and always preffered the Zed they were so smooth and were actually not as bad a handler as their weight implied . The main thing was not to chop the throttle mid corner as the shaft drive would pull the back end down and the bike would run wide
I've forgotten how big those engines were. I believe they didn't go any faster than the 900, 1000, 1100 models, but they were impressive bikes for their time. I raced a Kz 1300 on my Suzuki GSX 1100, in the mid 80's. Killed it.

Kawasaki ZL1000 was my fave of that era!
two of possibly the nicest bikes ever

Both bikes are very cool, back in the day I did get to ride a CBX and I still have my 79 KZ1000 LTD it's going to get some TLC this winter
I had the 80 model, bought the last one on the showroom floor.79&80 had the best paint schemes.
Rode the CBX from 78 to 82 . What an awesome bike. Bought the CB 1300 but I miss the cbx

Both bikes are real spine tingling machines just on the scream alone. But both are monsters in weight too for a regular rider machine.

The 1st gen V-max with a 4 into 1 exhaust is the best sounding motorcycle in the world!
Ken love your new rig man! Hoping to see it at Americade next year!
Really neat how they sound like vintage race cars. Like ferrari and jags. Unique sound.

does anybody knows what's the kawasaki exhaust 🔥🔥
Well at least you’re protecting your feet! Guys…….where’s your helmets, gloves, jackets???!!! Please ride safe!!!
Come on guys put some helmets on, the worst things always happen when you’re least expecting it.
Sweet! Is the Kawi a 6 cylinder too? Looked like more than 4.
Are there still current production 6 cylinder bikes today?
