1975 Kawasaki Z1 900

[@sonnyseabury4051]

Those are the gorgeous Sportsbikes that I was privileged enough, to grow up around in the 70's. Would rather the green or orange version. Droolworthy bike! ❤

[@coreywilliams1191]

Man, my dad had this exact same paint scheme on his KZ900, brings back great memories and tears.!!!

[@larrydugan1441]

I had the 73 Z1B. The Sophia Loren of motorcycles. The most beautiful color scheme ever.

mein gott, was war das für eine schöne Zeit? die schönste meines lebens.... 🙂

[@MrMotoMojo]

Gorgeous resto. I enjoy hearing their enthusiasm come thru when they talk about these old classics.

[@shannonjensrud5712]

That Kawi is absolutely stunning!! What a early era muscle machine!!

[@williambalyx1053]

Had a 1976KZ900, last year the 900 was made, loved it , one of the best looking bikes ever made by a Japaneese builder

[@metalted6128]

The original hot rod bike!!! Very cool!!

[@ckane510]

I put those together brand new at a dealership. Best part was test driving them.😊

[@davidmccall4776]

I had a 76 KZ900, a brown one that I bought new for 2609.00 OTD, and riding it it was like straddling a bolt of lightning! Great machine!

[@MrSimonurry]

I am looking for one of these right now in UK ! Absolutely love them... It will replace an also lovely 1976 KZ650 I will sell to make space !

3:57 "moment of silence" Only a true motorcyclist could understand.

[@rooky55]

I owned a 74 Z 900 and raced a 1973 SC 500 Yamaha motocross that the other racers called a light switch. Still alive>

[@TheHemiphil81]

I used to ride a kz 900 and it would absolutely fly...

[@winkeemanley1820]

I had a 1978 Z1000.

[@Bricklinsv1970]

Incredible bike!

[@Ron52G]

I had one of those back in the day.

[@markkimball1569]

Love the root beer color. It brings back memories 4 sure. I would love to ride it ! So I’m not the buyer ! Ugh. Love it !♥️ thanks Ken.

[@Polkhero]

Wonder if these were restored by Johnny’s Vintage in Wadsworth, Ohio? They specialize in these early Kawasakis.

[@derekwilson8011]

Where does he keep getting me awesome bikes from it's hard to find bikes like that down here in Florida

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

Same exact sound as the engine from the TV show chips.

[@themister3865]

What did the '75 Z1 sell for? Just curious, as I have a mint 1974 Z1 🙂

[@andrewSUN17]

beauty!!!

[@chrismoody1342]

Got a 75’ Z1b in the garage. It’s in great shape, but sadly non original paint and exhaust. It’s alright I rather love the nasty snarl and looks good of the 4/1 header. The paint is a nice aquamarine blue, really close to the blue Kawasaki used.

[@frankvanpelt1390]

What did it sell for?

[@gregcummins9185]

one like it for sale on ebay right now, good looking bikes

[@kaplancycles7665]

[@scottmaz4063]

I got hit by a KZ900 in 76 it was the green one.

[@mendesoto]

lol. my goodness. sorry, I'm hop;e there wasn't any lasting negative effects

[@scottmaz4063]

@@mendesoto damaged nerve but I would buy a kz900. I was 15 61 now.

[@FrankMule-kk7zh]

Nut and bolt frame off resto and the owner kept no records/receipts, or surviving family members can't find from the shop who did the restoration?

[@doxydoxdelamanca9902]

Beautiful! Just beautiful. Not just the exhaust note; it is everything. The rounded turn signals, the round tail-light; the silver engine. Nowadays the stuff that's coming out, MT-10, etc., it's just ugly. Even the z900RS is not the same. They lack soul! Why not put dual shocks on the z900RS?

[@Sr.D]

Kawasaki should have gone the extra mile with the z900rs, dual shocks on the rear and the 4 exhausts, and would have been perfect

[@queenslander954]

Z1B .. thought they were from 1976 ?

[@ChristinaHarrison-hw4lr]

Put a kerker pipe on that. Omg.
