What an iconic bike, possible the best known motorcycle in the world. When I was a teenager I had the black and white poster only the helmet and tank were coloured . I have a Captain America helmet to remind me.

Lots of critics here, there have been lots of replicas built and they nearly all have front brakes and the rake is different to the original because Peter Fonda has said that the original was terrible to ride. And to the comment that you should have used a drum on the front, the original didn't have a front brake at all. Yeah I've researched this pretty well because I'm building one myself but it will be a look alike but practical, Evo motor and discs both ends. Well done.

Thank u mate yes we built it for a customer on a budget. And he rides it every day .good brakes . And enough rake to look great and be practical to tide well he has changed the risers since with the original dog bones wich makes it look more like the original. Appreciate your comments 🙏

Lovely bike, '84 I Couriered on a nearly new Kawa.750 turbo, owned 4 kawa. shaft drives, 750 being my favourite Kawasaki, for all round, low down fun. March '19 no bike Kawasaki for 27 years, got a 05 GSF BANDIT 650 inj. Wow 58, 59 times more biking joy, than the turbo, GT 750 or Bandit ?, toss of a coin, probably hoped landed Bandit side up. But GPZ 900 ? SUPERB.
