If only bikes looked like this now. They all look like transformers now!! This bike is beautiful this later became the zzr1100 even looks similar and I had one and miss it I’m 53 and loved both. Nice to hear a youngster enjoying the old bike. Well done!! Keep it alive 😊
Zzr1100 is next on my list. Speed feels so different on these long, heavy but powerful bikes. 80/90 mph feels like 45. 100% agree with you on styling. I appreciate the comment. Ride safe 🤙
This video has brought back memories of my 1990 when it was brand new that whistle has that whistle no other bikes have that whistle sound you better put on the other front disc and steel breaded lines on that bike lot of power you need stopping power.
I'm the proud owner of a stock 1988 ZX-10 that I bought new. It's been sitting in the garage for a while, waiting on time to clean the carbs and get it tagged. I really like that you have yours running and did some work on it. Not a lot of guys I know nowadays really know how to turn a wrench. Well Done. I'm a little curious about the air intake scoop you have under the headlight. Is that something that came with it when you bought it or did you put it on?
Hey Ryan, Thank you for the kind words. The air scoop is an cosmetic item that the previous owner installed, I believe it is from a 2000 ZX12r. This is a very trick bike and the last guy must have loved it. Custom dog bones to lower it, amongst other things. I picked up a 1989 ZX10 as the next rescue project. I didn't set out to be the ZX1000B guy but I think they are starting to find me now hahaha: th-cam.com/users/shortsWfKPD9U1P7k
@@mirchiboyz Damn, that's the worst. It sounded so horrible when you started it up. Every model that uses a variation of that engine has the same problem, pretty sad Kawasaki never addressed it.
This bike was modded and set up as a drag bike. Race guys get rid any rotating mass they can. Bike has launch control and air shift mapped the horn button. Previous owner must have been serious a out launching this thing 🤙
@@TheDirtyBirchTrails This bike now belongs to another person on TH-cam. I did buy two more: 89 and 90. I have a few videos of the new bike on this channel. Appreciate the comment
Ok, so i just got my license 13-01-2023 and its just something about these old bikes that scratches my itch. My das rides 2 cbx 1050s and a cb750 and honestly this just hits the spot for me. Soooo i saw one near me for €2750 with around 50k KM on it. Is that a decent price? The body work seems to be in prestine condition and it just had regular maintenance.
Congratulations on the license Dub. ZX1000Bs are starting to become rare bikes and the surviving examples can be in amazing condition or completely trash. So it's hard to figure out the value. Parts for these bikes are getting hard to find and original body work is getting expensive. That being said, Kawasaki used similar mechanical parts in many different bikes. Definitely go check it out so you can get a feel for it as many of these are sold in non-running condition. Lastly, people don't want to buy carbureted bikes anymore. If you wait, there might be a price drop or maybe not. Best of luck friend.
Badass Bike can't go wrong with a classic my first sport bike was a 1988 Suzuki GSX600F same year as my first truck 1988 GMC Sierra 1500 5.7 v8 both the same age as me lol 88 is my lucky number
Nice bike mate. I had one back in 90/92. It looks like you got it just in time to save it from being ruined. I notice it has the Ram Air intake from a ZX6R/ZX9R mounted under the headlight. Strange as this bike does not have a ram air system. Must be just for the looks.
Hello there Mr. ZZR Legend! Yes, the previous owner installed the ram air scoop just for looks. I picked up a 89 ZX10 as the next project. I'll eventually make my way over to the mighty ZZR1100 🤙
@@mirchiboyz The same route I took mate. The ZX10 was a great bike in its day but Kawasaki took it to a new level with the ZZR 1100. Listening to your video the sound of that wonderful engine is the same. Makes me smile every time I hear it. Ride Fast!
@@MichaelZZRrider I've been a subscriber of your channel for a while, on my other account. I'll be following your zx11 break upgrade guide eventually. Thanks!
@@johnnyboy6429 Definitely grab one when you have the time. We need to keep these carbureted monsters on the road. I bought another one, 1989 ZX10, videos coming soon 👊
Might be old but she'll give a new sports bike a run for it's money My 88 fit in great with newer bikes love the color same colors as my bike as well you have the same exhaust i have on mine my brother has a 98 Suzuki GSXR750 I rode it wanted a sports bike came across my 88 and couldn't pass it up dad had a 78 suzuki GS750 we have 3 generations of suzuki sports bikes lol father and son
I had a 78 Suzuki GS1000 which I ended up selling to make space ZX10 projects. I'm glad I got introduced to the GS line as the KZ prices are crazy. I might pick up a GS1100 or the more affordable GS850 next. I appreciate you commenting 👍
I had the poster back in 88 what a legend
Kawasaki should do this exact color scheme on the new ZX10R

I like old bikes like this, but where do you find parts for these?
Hey man, your alternator chain tensioner is shot. Open your oil cap and look at your clutch basket, I bet it is all chewed up.
It was. The whole basket exploded.
