That style of motorcycle doesn't look outdated at all

[@uan588]

Timeless Beauty as with any Kz

[@ianmangham4570]

Amen

[@angrytater2456]

It always impresses me when a bike of that era has a rear disc. And that exhaust is so boss.

[@peterfranks7619]

The white raised lettering on the tires make it pop. Nice color combo.

[@davebrune4001]

I had this same bike in High school..lucky to be here now to be sure..😁

[@RogerDiotte]

LOL glad you flew "the friendly skies" I guess....lol!

[@kwlambright]

All the 80s bikes had to have a kerker exhaust. I had a seca 750 with a kerker exhaust. Man they all sounded great then

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Damn that's nice...wow. No way I'd replace that pipe, that thing sounds incredible.

[@damienoregan6211]

Can't thank you enough for putting all your bikes on show for people to view, AMAZING INFORMATION.

[@garybarfoot9856]

Brings back memories it sounds just like my z nine did i had same kerker on mine way back in 79 Wish i could bring those days back😢.

[@kalaharimine]

That classic Kerker look and sounds brings back some good memories.

[@tygreenwood472]

Great looking retro Kawasaki the solid raised letter tires make it stand out even more.. I want a set of those tires for my two bikes!

[@pinabruno-grieve763]

I love how you have these fabulous Kawasakis and revere them! Good on you Sir! They have this very distinctive sound which makes me week at the knees! Old girl in the UK - wishes she could see your museum!

[@sissygoog9456]

That is one badass bike. The paint job is absolutely out of control. That bike definitely wants to do RRRRRRRRRIP THE HOUSE OFF THE FOUNDATIONS 💪💯 THANK YOU SIR FOR A BADASS BIKE GREAT VIDEO Kenny Jr BEAUTIFUL Great info boosted beautiful work Kaplan team BEAUTIFUL NEW ENGLAND MOTORCYCLE MUSEUM NUMBER ONE

[@gerardfenn3988]

Oh Yea!!! The Baddest of the Bad. A 1000 KZ LTD with a Kerker. Doesn't get much better than this. I would buy it just to wax it and listen to that exhaust. Brings me back.

[@donniehowlett1185]

Wow Ken what a clean and pretty LTD! I had a 1978 LTD i love those bikes!

[@baca6445]

[@ar2043]

What a classic and beautiful cruiser!!!

[@laurent4561]

That was my first 1000 CC on the road with my dudes from Alberta and Texas. 10 oil rig drillers 5 Kawasaki 1000 LTD - some Honda CB 1100 Kas and Al, Coconut, and I Fonzy. 🎉 I remember. The Rd 350 LC from my scotish dude : incredibly fast.

[@Xeil]

The Kerker 4-1 exhaust is so iconic. Had one on my 83 GPZ 750, couldn't sound better. Miss that bike.

[@richardmorris6365]

Bought one new for 3500 just like that. Same yr,I had chrome side casings & valve cover w/ kercker exhaust. Best bike I ever had.

[@uan588]

I love watching Senior ride.

[@KaplanCycles]

Thank you!

[@bonniecavalcante9149]

I wish I can afford it I am glad it exists

[@damglad1675]

With having had own a '79 ltd with the 1075 was a blast. Had it for 10 years and worked on it more than rode it and then I had kids lol. Miss that bike.

[@jokeeffe2006]

Nice , if I ever find myself in America your shop will be my first stop

[@jeffsinker2503]

You Honda shipment JR got is awesome never seen such clean older Honda's can't wait till it gets settled and checked. You guys are my inspiration.

[@sonnyseabury4051]

Beautiful bike. I love the exhaust note of the Kirker. Also love the paintjob and graphics, and how well they compliment one another.

[@propdoctor21564]

Love this.. Had one just like it in the mid 80s. Even the same pipe.😁

[@RogerDiotte]

Absolutely STUNNING....you just slipped me back to the back lane at 17 when I mounted this exact bike and got to take it for a rip around main street and back...once and once only....it still haunts me!

[@billbright1755]

Rocking the Casba old school. 🏍️

[@johncunningham4820]

I , personally , was never a Fan of the LTD style bikes , from Anyone , but THAT THERE is a Really Clean Old Machine . Looks great and Sounds healthy .

[@raytoal]

Great sounding bike. What a beast

[@josephdavis3686]

That was one of better looking LTD's the 80 mph speedometer was the first thing most guys changed. I got a 78 model. The Goodyear Eagles GT were the original tires but man that bike still looks good 40 years later.

[@me109g4]

I ditched the speedometer on mine, the 80 MPH doesn't cut it,, Local shop even matched the mileage before installing.

[@y4s563]

clean looking bike . I just pulled the last bike out of dry storage 1984 LTD 1100 been two decades . Hope it generates some interest .

[@cadesmith4278]

Had an '82 KZ1000 LTD...traded it in for an '05 ZRX1200R. What great motorcycles they were...it's cliche, but man, I still wish I had one (or both) of them!!

[@tony-ce7qp]

o-God..........to many Bikes to love........i have to stop replaying everything......lol.

[@markpalumbo129]

The bike was so balanced I took my motorcycle test on the same bike

[@wayno23]

Stunning motorcycle great profile & stance. Better than z9 imo would handle & brake really good.

[@jangler14]

Sounds awesome with that Kerker!

[@danielcapalbo5293]

I wish Kawasaki would make a bike like that today. A nice good looking inline four semi sport bike that's actually comfortable riding two up for touring.

[@ianmangham4570]

Beautiful rear tyre ,sound's like a MONSTER 👹 🤠🤟

[@ianmangham4570]

Ya can see Ken snr loves his big classic kwakas 🦆 KAWASAKI 4 LIFE 🤠💯🤟🇬🇧🇺🇲,no mistaking that Z rear mudguard 😮so classy

[@KyleCarey-f6y]

I had that same bike. Mine was black. 4 in 1 kirker, head work and carburetor work. Ground level rocket

[@tonybennis259]

That kid is learning from a expert he will help Kaplan cycles

[@davearnoldy4801]

I had one just like it except mine came with Jardin headers. 4 into 2. Mine had a shake at 70 but you could power through and it would go away. Lots of fun. Sold it and never bought another.

[@stephenmartin2737]

Im not into motorcycles but is this the same bike used in the American tv series chips ? Watched it as a kid in northern ireland during the late 1970,s early 80,s loved the series and the motorcycle!!

[@stephenmacdonald912]

That ninja in green white n blue in the background is lookin pretty

[@richardbates8023]

Love the Kerker header, 1 fifth will slide into if ya run no baffle brown bag n all

[@bananabrooks3836]

This is actually a '79 model year bike with slide carbs and the duck tail. The '80-'82 models have 34mm CV carbs and no duck tail amongst other detailed differences.

[@more.power.]

Great Motorcycle Ken thank you.

[@LOWKEYDANGER]

The toe cutter bike yes! I'm trying to source one as we speak this bike is drop dead sexy

[@chadkampster7425]

[@thedestroyer8885]

Good to see WOLVERINE on bike...

[@Dinoxt12]

Good sounding engine.

[@Kwhopperfan]

Have to ask, those tires look near original, are they? If so they don’t make rubber like that anymore!

[@AridersLifeYT]

What a beast

[@kawasaki900guy]

Beautiful bike! I also have one and it's for sale. Original Jardine pipes on mine tho.

[@six-pack1332]

Still a great looking bike.

[@43captrexkramer]

Why would anyone want to replace that Kerker?, sounds great.

[@michaelmartin7073]

Good looking bike.

My dream bike but u gotta pay for that

[@janosmagyar9202]

You've been avoiding them on the asphalt at the exit of your store ever since I watched your video. I can't believe you don't have enough money to remove those pits. I'm sorry, but I really don't like this. In addition, an accident is dangerous.

[@KaplanCycles]

Ok come fix em! Im waiting!

[@backdraft57]

I kick myself for selling mine years ago

[@captainamerica3814]

I had one. Great memories riding it from Oregon to California to Vegas. 😊
