Retro Painted Kawasaki Z900RS Custom Z1B Painted..Akrapovic Headers Sound,Awesome Z900

[@TrustyZ900]

Just bought a '22 candytone blue RS 900.Already have a '22 Black and blue regular Z900. Been watching your great videos for years. I wish my local dealer put in half as much love and effort as you guys! You are the true Kawiman.I hope all is well over there. Thanks from Idaho, US.

[@MrToonfish]

The guy who did the paint job is a magician ! I know no one around me who is able to do this like that ! So beautiful.

[@AussieKawiman]

He sure is mate, Did a great job to an already great bike, Thanks for watching mate, Enjoy :)

[@russellparratt9859]

That Z1B coloured bike looks just awesome, with that seat and grab rail looking more practical than the standard offering.

[@AussieKawiman]

Nice hey?? we think so too, Thanks for watching Russell, Enjoy..

We need a dealer like you in nsw.. Very good customer service

[@AussieKawiman]

Thanks Laurence, i do some of the dealers in NSW and most are pretty good, Thanks for watching mate...Enjoy..

That baby is perfect! Beautiful work coming out of your shop Kawiman and that paint looks FANTASTIC.

[@AussieKawiman]

Thanks mate, we are trying to do some more, Keep watching for the next edition...cheers mate,,

[@TrustyZ900]

Old video, but I have to comment. Have a '22 blue RS, but I'd trade it for this color combo. Your paint man is a wizard. I watched a video of a skilled Japanese bike painter and this type of paint scheme is crazy difficult. Beautiful.

[@AussieKawiman]

Thanks mate I will let him know..Was one of my faves this one,We made 2 of these and both looked awesome.Glad you liked it and well the blue is bloody nice bike too,Thanks for watching mate,Enjoy👍🇦🇺

[@WolfgangVonKempelen838]

I have to stop watching your videos about this bike because I am losing my mind and all I can think and dream about is "I want a Kawasaki Z900RS from the Aussie Kawiman" which is a bit difficult when you live around London UK. The sound of this machine is like an angel whispering beautiful things in my ear ;)

[@AussieKawiman]

Ohhh thanks Pietro, I am sorry to have done this to you,but it needed to be shared, I am the same as you mate, When i build them i have to sell them and that is hard, But if they stay local to me i still see them,this one went to Canberra, which is 1200klms away so might not see this one again. if i am in UK I will see if i can fit one into my luggage...Thanks for your continued support mate....

That's the paint job I always related the old Z1's to in England. It looks fantastic. Shame Kawasaki only offer the orange and bland versions (and the green cafe jobs). Lovely work.

[@AussieKawiman]

Thanks Fred, Keep an eye out for the next colour, Should be done soon, Cheers, mate..

[@harp440]

I owned a 75, same colours...i like it , although there's something about the tank that's not quite there, could be the amount of maroon under the lower gold stripe...

[@AussieKawiman]

Thanks for watching mate, I was not trying to copy the original We just drew up some designs and this is what happened, Was getting a modern spin on the old school bikes,I think this is the sort of designs that the people wanted and we were right, These sold like hot cakes for us here, Thanks for watching glad you liked it, Cheers...

am a honda (bike) man at heart.but kawasaki is doing the retro bikes very well.better than honda,though the cb1100 ex is nice.the kawasaki's are super nice.look & sound great.

[@AussieKawiman]

Thanks for stopping by mate, The retro style is so nice from Kawasaki I agree, The others may have more power but you can not go past a classic styled bike like these... Thanks for watching mate.. Enjoy :)

[@Stclairm1]

Love your Kawasaki passion. I've always found my Hondas to be lacking a "soulful" character. If that makes any sense. I've owned a 92 ZX6R, 99 ZX9R, and 14 Ninja 1000. Owned a 04 GSXR600, probably most fun bike I ever owned, a 08 CBR1000RR, two 2015 Goldwing F6B's, and now a 16 Goldwing. Ready for something fun with soul again!!! Keep up the great videos!! Keep in mind I only had one at a time.

[@AussieKawiman]

Thanks for your encouragement, I love the sole of Kawasaki and have seen it from day 1, I have owned many bikes and the Kawasaki road bikes have been the only one's that i felt had that thing...You know a passion and past that was always leading the charge, Just makes you feel part of the cause(I think)and awesome sole in the management to the highest level.Most staff that work for Kawasaki have the same passion...I think you get the idea,Thanks for watching...

Bonjour, Thanks for watching my channel, You have some nice bikes there..I love Kawasaki too, Keep watching mate..Enjoy

[@Boewar]

Love the paint scheme! Wish you guys were state side (US)! Lol, the Akrapovic headers with the stock can sounds absolutely beautiful! I think i read there’s no additional programming for the headers? I would keep the stock can with the headers as well, really like the look of the stock can.

[@AussieKawiman]

Thanks mate, We love it to, The owner still send me pics of the bike and he has had it nearly 2 years. if you do the Headers i would recommend a tune as it will give you around 10hp more and smooth out the response but you don't have to.thanks for the feedback and for watching,Cheers.

[@Boewar]

Aussie Kawiman Appreciate you hitting me back so soon brother. When I get the bike, I will tune the headers. Really enjoy your videos, makes me smile to here your conversations while riding and how much you love the Zed 900. I also wish we had a dealer like yours, you guys are doing awesome Down Under.

Great paint job! Akra headers needed ecu remapping or fuel controller?

[@iansians6703]

@@AussieKawiman As the owner of this beauty I can confirm that mapping makes a big difference, roughly 6-8 HP and smoothes out the range - as Aussie says, its not necessary but it does make a noticeable and positive difference.
