My first bike was a KZ750E. Absolutely loved it! Thank you for the ride down memory lane.

Do you remember how many miles you put on it ? I put 75,000 on the one I had - and it only took 4 years - I rode that thing everywhere - I used to ride with cut off jeans and no shirt or shoes ... in Florida

This was the second street motorcycle I ever owned. Your videos bring back a lot of memories as a lot of the bikes you review I have owned.

I had a 1981 750 LTD and can't see any difference. I did the same thing with the buck horn bars that came stock on it by replacing them with the drag bars. Great piece and it was faster in the 1/4 mile than the 1000 because it was lighter.

I have 78 kz1000 that I've had for over 15 years and I still live that bike. I have rebuilt it entirely, it is far from unmolested but it is a beautiful bike.

I was 25 years old when I bought my first bike in 1982 - a KZ750 light blue metalflake - I put 75,000 miles on that bike in 4 years . Completely wore it out - the seat was the first thing to go ... I don't know if you remember this tidbit - do you know what happens when you over rev those bikes ? The ignition shuts down - no more spark - you cannot crank it until and unless you remove a spark plug wire and ground it to the engine block or frame . Then it is good to go ... I still remember the day I rode that bike off the lot ... I loved that bike ... Oh yeah, I originally forgot to add this part - The starter went out sometime during the second year - but I never got it fixed because the bike was so easy to start - even when cold and using the manual choke - I could push the bike while sitting on it and pop the clutch in second gear and it would start every time . Fast forward to 2019 - I got a Kawasaki Z900 . I love it even more than that 750 . It is only about 30 pounds heavier and more than double the horsepower and it rides and handles much more smoothly though . I liked the 2019 so much - I bought another one as soon as the 2020 models came out . So now I have a red and black and a blue and grey . The 2019 only has ABS - the 2020 has 2 power modes and 4 traction modes along with ABS ...

Dude (or chick lol) same here. I had several 80s KZ and LTD bikes back in the 90s. Today I’m riding a 2021 Z900 RS Café and I love it. Like you said, double the horsepower plus with modern fuel injection, suspension, brakes etc. etc. By the way I remember how much I loved your Z900 when it came out however I really love my Z900 RS Café because it’s a throwback to the old KZ with all of the modern goodies and modern performance and power.

I just found one for 175 bucks locally. It’s a project. Needs some work but it’s got good bones. I think I’m gonna jump on it

I have my 81 kz750 that’s not new new but has a few paint smudges on it but runs like a charm with only 21k miles on it. Bought it for only 1200. Think I struck a gold nugget.

Almost like it’s come out of a time capsule. Brother use to have Z750 and friend had the Z1300 during those years. So still love those bikes of that time. BTW saw a Z1300 in the museum in one of your videos. Will you do a video on that?

You sir have a new sub. I had a few of these back in the day in the 90s but never one in that condition. I’m currently riding a 2021 Z900 RS café. Also I love the upgraded handlebars. My new Z900 RS café has those (basically same) from the factory, the way it should’ve been :-)

Love these old Kawasaki kz750 LTDs. I had an 82' Kawasaki 750 spectre, which is even more rare than this bike. Quiet as a sewing machine until you really get into the throttle, then it screams like a banshee.

my dad had this exact bike before he bought a harley... I regret not showing an interest in riding when I was a kid, for it would have been mine. instead he sold it to party unknown.
