Discovered your channel with the Eddie Lawson KZ. Just got my endorsement a couple months ago had the opportunity to get a KZ1300 I think an 82 and it sold immediately. Still kicking myself for not grabbing it. But one day maybe. But still love seeing these bikes on your channel.
When Mr. Kaplan America showed us the inside of the gas tank, I could not see inside. Maybe next time you could stick a lighted match inside, so we can see.
That sir is a masterpiece. I can't believe they had the technology in 1979 to build a rocket ship like that extremely collectible that bike right? There is absolutely amazing sir. Amazing on the History channel. I watched everything about that motorcycle. What an amazing machine. I can't believe it's all original. Amazing sir. Amazing best on the East Coast
It was too easy to overlook this refined beast when AMA Superbike racing was grabbing Cycle News headlines and ad copy. A few years later, it was the Ninja 900 and Top Gun stealing the limelight. Timing is everything in marketing, so this marvel of engineering never got its due.
Wow! I remember him riding the Z1300 on the back wheel and a motocrosser with an electric motor on the front wheel to keep it spinning because it was in the air for so long
Paul I meant no disrespect. This is the quality of bike I would expect from a business that sells vintage bikes, but in the beginning he surely didn’t have the capital to buy this quality. And he had some bikes ( bikes that I was in the market for) that were to cobbled up for me to purchase. I meant my post as a positive. That means he is moving forward and getting BETTER and this is something I’m sure HE understands. I am responding to You so you can feel like you stood up to a bully. (Good job) I’m sure Mr. Kaplin is aware of this and is striving to get better bikes and improve his brand and name. That is what a good business man does. It’s called ACTION and it speaks louder than words. He doesn’t need you coming to his rescue, he is doing just fine by TCB. I am looking for 2 specific bikes and if I didn’t think he has upped his game, I would not be looking at the channel. I’m sure there is some poor misguided Trans. Kid that could use your unsolicited help, or just calm down, get on a bike and go RIDE. And quit TRYING to be offended, and listening to RECORDS played backwards.
Great bikes! I have the 1979 Touring kz1300 with 12k miles and 1979 Standard kz1300 15k miles! Love the power!
Ain't no secret the Kaplan chief loves them KZ1300s, gotta do a power burnout with that muscular 45yr old big girl...
Respect.

Man I feel so envious seeing you ride all these awesome bikes. Stay safe and Stay blessed
Glad you like them!
My god totally unbelievable like every bike you show.
Man what a awesome time machine, you find the coolest bikes thanks for the entertainment
DOUG D... The Wheel KING R.I.P I remember him in "DIRT WHEELS" Magazine as a Kid & at World of Wheels in Tampa, Fl...
That’s a stunning example of a big bore 6 cylinder classic ❤
Nice powerskid 💨💨 good work 👏

Lmao ok
What a classic BEAST!!
A friend could wheelie his over 100 mph. Was always scary to go riding with him. He never crashed and neither did I on my KZ1000.

Curious on how much it got sold for I’m looking for one here at the moment Australia
I was hoping for a wheelie!
I got the exact same color mines only has 6700 miles on it got pretty lucky on it
Then get out and ride it......
1970's Japanese bikes don't come any better than the mighty Z1300
The sound of FREEDOM )
Wat a sound 👌
Baddest in the World. Was mine

I had one and sold it. I have regretted it ever since. I would buy the next one i see.
You need to go and stand facing the wall for 5 minutes thinking about what you did.
That’s what I’m talking about open it up.
Excelent Machine!!!sweet dream
I still own that book of Doug De Mocos, The Wheelie King. I bought it in 1984.
Wow! I remember him riding the Z1300 on the back wheel and a motocrosser with an electric motor on the front wheel to keep it spinning because it was in the air for so long
Hang on Dude
Skirt skirt skirt she sure got that tire screaming and smoking ina hurry
Glad to see you’re getting better bikes in.
Hello Marshall, I mean this with the most respect; Ken has had magnificent bikes at his shop/museum for "many years" Just saying

@@marshallcollins8634 Roger that Marshall🤝
I bet this beast would be a handful on the hwy. ❤
I owned one 'back in the day'. These machines will bite you if you don't respect them. I still regret selling it to this day...
Now thats a Balln bike.👍fukn A we say.
*Six Mo'chine!*
What’s your secret on finding these bikes?
They find me. Cuz Im the yes man!
My roommate had 1 w/ headers,used to ride wheelies w/ his gf on the back
So sorry but this bike is not 100% oem the exhaust is not original and the rims come black inside
sell it to me
My Hayabusa is faster
All these new bikes are faster,in its day it was a bear.
❤😊
Nice burnout. I was hoping you would demonstrate . actually expected it,🛵
It was a spectacular sight and sound!
