    Old KZ's & Z-1's are just pure badass. Can't count out old Suzuki GS's either.

    Those OG KZ's are some of the best looking bikes ever, in my humble opinion.

    I think it was in 1976 or 1977 that I was racing at Formosa. I was racing a Kawi triple 750. Incredibly our pit was right next to the snake!!! It was really awesome to see him recently in one of your videos. I went into engineering research and never dragged again. But I'll always remember that funny car at Formosa, and the legend who drove it.

      I have a new one 2016 Suzuki GSX-S1000 with a ton of mods to lighten and up the horse power! It’s straight 2” exhaust with headers, PC5, short levers, windshield it’s just mint and got stuff all over it! Has 6k miles on it and it’s always been garaged! I weight 280lbs and I run 10.5’s on it at my local track! I believe if I added nos I could go right on down into 9’s but I don’t want to blow my stuff up or add any more weight I cruse the streets a lot! I also have a CBR300R it’s weak but still fun around town! Bought it for my kid!

A Kawasaki Z-1 is something that's enjoyed by people who know these bikes, so hopefully you'll get to know!!! I am rootin' for you, happy motoring!!!👍👍👍😎😎😎
