I owned a lot of bikes over the years but my green tank 1974 Z1A was always my favorite. I rode that bike all over the western USA. Lots of great memories

[@joegilly1523]

Z1-R. SWEET.. That’s a lot of classic bikes.

[@drhkleinert8241]

Hottest store in the World... I am dead and go to heaven, and it is that place. I love the old 900 and they have so much of them and are specialised for. A big Thank you to these guys for to let the most beautyfull bikes alive.

[@bertarmstrong9140]

I owned a 1976 Z900 Green Machine as a young man still miss it to this day . Jack you bring back old memories and make this old man young again Thanks great job love your channel!

[@bikbildr.5186]

That's crazy , my all time favorite model is the Eddie Lawson replica

[@angrytater2456]

That is a fooking beast. You have good taste.

[@RoboCop-zn8bt]

That green 750 is beautiful

[@eighthof8]

I've been in the process of restoring a '74 H1 from the ground up the past 2 years. It's like the government and school systems - a bottomless pit! You can keep throwing money in it, but it never fills up. Didn't have any idea what i was getting involved with. If I would have known, I would have ran quickly away! I too have purchased many parts from Z1. They're honest, fast, and reliable!

[@pibble3962]

It will all be worth it when you hear that angry idle sound.

[@chrisbrown3925]

I grew up in the 60s, all motorcycles had these short 2 stroke motors with a few exceptions. One of the older kids bought a z1, and i was amazed at how tall the motor was!

[@angrytater2456]

That is an amazing store. The 80's kid in me loved that GPz750 at the end. I'd also love a nice H2 2-smoker. Amazing work!

[@raymondpick4945]

Hello jack. back in the day at the age of 18 i had new z1b in blue. loved it thankyou cycle drag.

[@wellsway1]

That was one of the most enjoyable videos I’ve watched Jack, keep up the great work👍👍

[@toddclark332]

Love the purple on that 75 I own it too to😂

[@tillross4078]

I see a 79 😊 had one in the day 🎉

[@tomdale1735]

The Z1 and H2 were “THE BIKES” of the day and still are reputable …. Many still race the H2 and lose to it

[@easyrider4x]

Had a 1975 Z1B with a Windjammer III fairing. First bike my wife rode on with me. She still rides with me 45 years later on our BMW.

[@AndreUchoaUSA]

Loved it! Thanks!

[@edwatts9890]

AB-SO-LUTE-LY freakin' AWESOME! I have owned over a dozen Z-1's, from stockers to a fire-breating 1326 cc monster! Also, I have had Honda 350F bikes through 836 cc 750 F0's, not to mention my "Anglophile" phase, with everything from BSA Victors and Gold Stars through Triumph Tritons and Norton 850's. And, of course, over a dozen two-stroke triples... ...I "graduated" to CBX's later, with bikes up to 200 HP, but they were finicky and didn't last long. I'm old now (71), and I don't need "the fastest set of wheels in town", so, I ride Harleys. If I had invested my motorcycle budget into Southern California real estate, I could give Gates, Bezos, and Musk a run for their money! Such is life, but I'll bet that I have seen more things and had more fun than they have.😮 I live about an hour away from these guys, so, I will drop in sometime soon. Thank you very much for sharing thiis!

[@sparkplug-ne5wi]

[@toddclark332]

Well thank you for showing my dream bike buddy❤

[@RoboCop-zn8bt]

I used to live in Oceanside, never knew of this place.

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

My buddy had a z1r. It was beautiful

[@MikeS42069]

Wowza!! Save some Kawi for the rest of us!!!

[@alberthodge631]

back in 2005 I had to send my Z1A Tank and body parts to germany to get painted authentically.

[@tomschauman4960]

Nitro is definitely their friend

[@pibble3962]

I may be misremembering but I recall that some of the Z1s had problems with bearings in the front of the frame for the forks. A friend of mine had a crash at high speed due to a tank slapper. He later claimed that there had been a lawsuit brought against Kawasaki by some police departments for this issue.

[@edstig]

I have and wish I still had it

[@cramersclassics]

Amazing visit to Z1 Parts. I have many of their parts on my Kawasaki H2 1250 five cylinder "Fiple". Super nice people at Z1 always ship fast, have great prices and quality. Great customer service too. Here is a link to the 1250 5 cylinder Allen Millyard on KZbin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGeVoXaompl_nM0

[@officialwildcardadventures]

I've seen a lot of them. Not 10 though. Bought an old AEE Springer from a guy who had 5 or 6 of them though, just outside Fredericton, NB.

[@armandchargois5733]

What is one of the 73 Z1’s selling for? I am in Texas

[@skydancerforever]

Oceanside Calif. ? lived there for 10 years never seen this place.

[@RDEnduro]

I dunno seems like Z1s are something to stay away from, with that Mecum issue a few weeks ago and with another commenter pointing out that the frame at 3:50 is stamped with a 1975 vin..and you JUST said they were all 1973.

[@victorjason1104]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cardiffchris]

Is this the same collection that used to be Route 66 Motorcycles in O'side?

[@sneakapeak40]

[@michaelcarmean4906]

You With Your Knowledge Of Motorcycles 🤔 Keep Misstating That The 72 H2 750 Is Called The “Widow Maker” The Fact Is The 1969 H1 500 Is The Original “Widow Maker” Come On Man

[@dj8010]

Everybody that's been in the game for a long time knows the 72 H2 is the real Widowmaker 💯💀

[@halseyknox]

To all the common folk guys who just want to put together a one off of something they rode as a kid or young adult....good luck. Now you know where all the N.O S. parts for these bike went.....and I'm talking about common enthusiast you do the work themselves. Sure they"ll sell you stuff....if you blow 100.00 bill out your ass everytime you fart ....I have seen this stuff from the late ,80's thru the 90's......HOARDERS.....these bikes aren't a symbol of days gone by.....there a playground for the rich, most of them weren't even born let old enough to have one of these bikes when they were new....how many of you can afford 1 month rent on this place.....

[@halseyknox]

What the hell, this is just hoarding....I'm supposed to be impressed?.....what a joke...I'm totally old school and appreciate vintage but when I see stuff like this I have hard time believing in what I just said....not impressed at all

[@treeguyable]

Yea, how dare they!

[@pauldarderi3560]

If you can have that many why not

[@JA-zh5xi]

I don’t understand the attraction to the 70s Japanese bikes. They were largely seen as boring looking, uninspired bikes in the 70s. No one paid much attention to them. Now people are acting like they are special. Very slow by today’s standards so just go buy an average modern bike.

[@mikekennedy5470]

Well you can go fly a new Honda elec airplane or a cesna 152 then you will know.. you actually feel it all.

[@treeguyable]

Well, back then , they were the hot ticket. Of course now, there is bigger, badder, faster, better handling. They are quite simply, antiques now. I have my original 71 R5 350 Yamaha 2 stroke. It's in terrible shape.

[@ianrawlings2546]

So untrue! In Australia these bikes were extremely popular. Have a look at the footage of Australian bike racing from this period on KZbin. Tell me that Wayne Gardner riding a giant Kawasaki around the Sydney race tracks didn't care much about these bikes.

[@treeguyable]

I don't understand the attraction to anything. Nothing on the planet, or, in the universe, is attractive.
