  • Old School Kawasaki KZ's at a bike event in FL, doing a few burnouts and holeshots.
    Most of these bikes are 1970-1980 models, custom swing-arms and modified motors and open drag racing exhaust pipes.
    I'm on the red Z1R with a 280 custom rear tire and race motor.

    My hats off to all of you. These are some of the best badass bikes I have ever seen. Having grown up in the era of these bikes, makes me miss those days. I have had all sorts of bikes from these bikes to crotch rockets to my current custom chopper and I will say that my all time favorite bike was my 1980 Z1R. I regret every day that I did not keep that bike. That bike saw everything from me and my wife bar hopping on it the whole week of our honeymoon to cruising College Avenue in Appleton Wisconsin which was like the avenue cruising on American Graffiti. I had my Z all Chromed out but not even close to the extent of these machines. And yes back then I was even sporting the full Mullet on it. When I was younger my dads friends all used to leave the local bar at 2am and let their Z's rip down the main street out to the country and I tell you there is nothing in the world compared to hearing those bikes with the Kerker headers on a hot summer night with the windows open. Again my hats off to you guys for not following the norm with bikes these days and going old school with the coolest bikes in the world.

      Chances are all these dudes are on Glides now. This fad faded out with the brothas which is fine with me cause that means there’s some sick ass Zs out there for us Z lifers.

      @@hottotty13 True! I've never seen such a bandwagon as these guy's buying full-dress Harley's. They're like the Borg Collective: same bikes, same loud, goofy music playing, same tattoos, same clothes. And they all seem to ride like assholes. I own 4 Japanese bikes from 1973 to 1985 and I'm good with that!

      Manufacturers are way too cheap to make bike like these today. It's all about making and saving money. Look at Yamahas today, they killed R6 and made R7 which is a joke based on super budget Mt-07. Same with R9 coming
      What a Shame

    Love the old z 900's and had a Z1R 1000 ! Where was about 10 of us that had one of the other a 900 to1000 !We get together and take off on a all day ride ! Sometimes not get back till the mid am hours ! Good times Good times !1973 being the oldest and mine being the newest a 1978 kaw 1000d Z1-R !There classic now wroth so much money especially in stock unmolested forum ! Please don't take this in the wrong way ! All of them kaws are unquestionably decked out and customized ! Beautiful bikes ! I'm one to love complete original as close to factory the better ! For its resale value ! Not every person's taste is the same that's y everyone of the bike was customized different in some way ! To fit ther flair and unique mind blowing taste !

    • @grasshopperkz
      @grasshopperkz 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      i built 3 of these bikes: bik #1 is a 79/80 kz1000 mkll w/1170cc J motor, #2 (silver)77 kz1000 1105cc and the green one is a 74 Z1 1170cc J motor. Green Z1 1/4 @ 10.25 126mph at PBIR when it was called MOROSO. Check grasshopperkz or kzfrost to see other KZ's i built. Only real difference in chassis setup between the Z1 and MKII is amount of rake. MKII has a little less. Swingarm length about the same also, MKII's is a little wider

    • @grasshopperkz

    • @obzion
      @obzion 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      thanks for replying. And did you do any rake to the mkll or green z1. How long is the swing arms if you don't mind me asking

    • @grasshopperkz
      @grasshopperkz 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      obzion
      Green Z1
      rake = 8 or 9 degrees over stock
      swing arm = 8inch longer at the end of axle slot
      Mkll rake was a little less, maybe 6 or 7 degrees over stock. And swing arm an inch or two longer.
