Kawasaki Z1300 Paul Ricard

[@andrewpattinson5977]

Absolutely stunning, the noise is music to my ears, brings back so many memories of the 80's, fantastic riding skills --- RESPECT

[@skakpedersen]

Big Six still going strong. THAT IS HOW TO show the mighty Z. No music, no comments, just let the Autonahn Stormer play it’s tune! Thanks for sharing this magnificent bike 👍

[@johnsampey344]

"The idea is to die young, as late as possible". BRILLIANT. But what a lump to pedal around a circuit ! I had the CBX 1050 Six & that was a handful on a track. You guys are a Heroes.

Never enjoyed motorcycle sounds that much, and beautiful visuals too.

I just had to watch this one again! What beautiful music it makes!

[@stephenward3468]

That 6 cylinder sound still gives me goose bumps from my Johannesburg bike buddies days

[@mustangmikep51]

I rode a bored -out turbocharged KZ 1300 years ago...its was an EXPERIENCE I'll never forget...the SOUND and POWER of that bike was incredible!...nothing really like it before or since (even though I did go over 200 mph on a modified 99 Busa!) Being close to 70 now I've slowed up quite a bit and am now ridin a 1977 KZ650 with a 4-1 Kerker header....goin back to the beginning I guess...(but its still FUN!) cheers, Mike.

[@russellbaker9459]

She may not be fast, but that six is undefeated in the sound standings👌🏻

[@artamanp1]

Not fast ? 3’08 at Spa Francorchamps track… same time than a z1000 1980 race prepared … see by yourself kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXLWg5Srr8yag6s

[@markjones1672]

Just love this. Great 6 cyl soundtrack & nice handling of the behemoth - impressive!

[@chrismoody1342]

Somehow a Z1300 and riding it on a track never came into my mind as a thing. It’s performance was quite impressive.

[@colinhoward74]

Its good to see a late 70s superbike (with a touring bias) out there hauling ass , performance is definately not bad for a 300kg bike , add a rider thats 400kgs being chucked around like that , that Z1300 was always under rated , I had 2 in my life , in the early 1983/84 , one was a stock bike with Kerker 6 into 2s , the other was bored out to a 1500 and turboed for good measure . I still love the sound of them and getting another is on my bucket list , a stock one .

[@marcostuntfire1128]

Merci beaucoup ! Fantastic z1300 and this sound. Remembers me when I visited Paul Ricard with my RD400 in 1989, in a vintage practise on the trac, between RC30. Was funny, but the Metzeler ME99 died soon. Greetings from Germany

Patrick, what you've created is the very definition of magnificent, and your riding does justice to it! Full brio! 👍🏼

[@Dodger2879]

That guy has balls! I pushed a used trade in, one of those quite hard in the late 80's when offered a free test drive, by a friend and they are long, heavy and not a great bike if ridden hard! On bends, they want to go straight and let you know it! (See how he slows way down before the apex. Very sensible rider. No trail braking on this monster!). After the ride I told my friend, (the dealer) they would make a great bike with a sidecar, towing an Airstream. He concurred! It was however a major hit, engineering wise with gobs of torque. I loved every minute. Great video. Thanks!

[@artamanp1]

Thanks Dodger. I’m not Superman 😂. See this one at Spa Francorchamps .. i like this track kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXLWg5Srr8yag6s
