Best looking bike ever built in my opinion 👌
I had the exact same bike, I just loved it, I felt like the king of the road on the bike, great and awesome memories came to mind as you started the bike, it was the first super-bike, and that is forever!
The sound of this machine is the best I have ever heard ! !
Congrats, Johnny! For all that you bring to the Z/KZ community, you deserve this.
My friend's big brother bought a Z1 when they first came out. My buddy asked if I wanted to take a ride with him to a town about 25 miles away. I said "sure!" It was the most breathtaking ride I've ever been on. Thank God I was young and dumb so I enjoyed it without the burden of fear!!! What an awesome bike!!
Beautiful. I have 1979 A model in great shape
Holy grail of 74 Z1 900's
I loved this video thanks so much Johnny!
So so envious.
I also bought mine 3 years ago from the original owner in Mass. I new the owner and tried to buy it from him but he was like me he was going to take it to the grave with him well sure enough he died of a heart attack and I bought the Z1 with 9k and his Zx12r with 3900 miles, In 1974 I had put a deposit on one and then my car crapp ed out so I never bought one and had many other bikes but always wanted a Z1 42 years later I finally had my Z1 all original with the original title .Yours is a little nicer Johnny i have a little pitting in the chrome but it still looks pretty nice .
A beautiful bike, maybe be one of the nicest bikes ever made. The sound, unbelievable. It was a great time of Japanese bike's. Thank you for the video👍
What a bike! Beauty.
Johnny you have the gift of finding K Zed 900's
Holy Cow!!! I was so happy to see you posted a new video.....Thank you!
......and I forgot to say, how perfect it is that you would get that bike, congratulations
I’m so glad to see this bike exists. I bought the same color Z1 new in 1974. That year, you could either get the burgundy color or a blue color. I don’t ride anymore, but I have good memories of the Z1. Thanks!
Blue colour came on the 75 Z1B other colour was the green yellow white stripes for Z1A 74
Nice nice nice. Very nice.
That is phenomenal. Thank you for sharing this.
Awesome machine!
Thanks for sharing this awesome bike
Beautiful Bike back then and it still is today..👍
What a great natural sound. I wouldn't put headers on that beautiful bike.
No, certainly not, those 4 pipes are what make that bike look "Awesome"
@@garydunn3037 > *that bike looks "Awesome"*
From "both" sides! That's what I hate about headers. One side looks nice, the other looks vacant.
Beautiful Johnny! Cheers, Doug
Wonderful. One dream of motorcycle. One dream.
Very nice bike.. I hope to have one built for me one day... thx for sharing...
I am so impressed with your work and attention to detail. I think you have one of the most rewarding jobs in the world. I like 100%correct bikes but if I had the means to do an unrestored rebuild on a barn find Z1. I'd like to keep everything stock except the exhaust and air filters. I'd prefer a four into one exhaust and exposed K&N air filters. If the petrol tank, side covers and tail fin were in good condition, I'd let them be preserved for other Kawasaki Z1 restorations. I'd like to repair a beaten up old tank and tatty side covers and tail fin, and have them painted in Olive Green with Original Kawasaki Pinstripes done in Rust Orange. Basically I'd like the paint job to be my own stamp on the bike, hence not wanting to spoil an original petrol tank in good condition. I'd still keep everything but the things I mentioned as original as possible. Your enthusiasm & rebuilds Johnny are superb and so interesting to watch.
If I had the means, I'm totally sold on the 70's Z1 900, even though I've always preferred Suzuki's 1981 GSX1100E or a GS750E. The overall quality and styling of the Z1 is second to none. Thanks for making these great videos Johnny.
Oh I'm jealous.
Nice bike.
Brilliant what a bike…. I just can’t wait to start doing my 73 with all the original parts excluding the exhaust pipes..🍻🍻😎😎
“King Shit from Turd Island!”
That’s hilarious! 🤣😂🤣
✌🏻🤠👍🏻
That bike would certainly be on my "Bucket List" along with the Suzuki GT750 Water Buffallo. Or
as we call it here in the UK the "Kettle"
I had a '76 KZ900, and it was a beast! Just twist the wick and hang on......tight! I had it painted a deep metallic blue, and put a 16" Harley rear wheel/tire, and lowering blocks on the rear shocks, and man it looked bitchin! Bought it brand new for $2609.00 OTD!
Amazing
I want to give it the right love she is a true survivor 😎
As good as it gets👍🏻
Question...
..why was it parked and stored years ago... ?
Dick was traveling and had other interests
Kawasaki Z 900 the king of superbike the jspanese masterpieces
i had this bike another mistake in my life selling it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 72 to early 77 Kawasaki 900s are the ones to get and the prices they command now
Hi johnny i could be buying a 1974 z1A the only problem is it is is fitted With the 1976 A4 engine is it still worth buying bike needs some work to be done to it but don't they all need work....???
I think it is worth buying. If you decide to pass on it, i could be interested. Some people are just looking for a rider. Matching numbers are nice, but not the end of the world
@@Johnnysvintage I'm going to have to check the dates on the wheels & have a look at swing arm for dates back break plate as well..... & other bits of the bike.....I actually no a guy that has a new z1 b fuel tank in its original box for new and other bits and pieces new fuel tap for the tank in its original box as well .....he was more into the z1000 a1 & a2 but has a z900 turbo in he's friend garage I wonder what year that one is....& everything is for sale z1000 frames & z1000 engines the lot has to go in one sale.....
