The Kawasaki KZ1300 is one of few production motorcycles to feature an inline-six engine. This motorcycle is often overshadowed by the Honda CBX. But is it a better motorcycle than CBX?

I rode a Z1300 in the UK back in 1982, at the time I had a Kawsaki Z1000J, it was a fun experience to ride one and I'm for ever grateful to the person who generously let me ride it for some distance, but I can't say beyond the fact it was a 6 cylinder motorcycle and therefore by it's very nature exciting to try, that it really did anything for me, it was a very smooth ride and you could feel the weight, but lacked anything to create excitement. I went away thinking how much more I liked my Z1000J, much tauter handling and a better power delivery for me.

There's something very satisfying when riding your CBX on an interstate, and the guy in the car next to you rolls his window down just to listen. Honda developed an exhaust for the CBX that captured the sound of the F-4 phantom....I wish I could hear THAT!! Other motorcycles are manufactured...Hondas are ENGINEERED!

My father owned the touring version with full fairings, saddle bags, and a top case. It was the heaviest bike I've ever ridden. Years later, I owned a naked KZ1300 with a great sounding 6-into-1 exhaust system. With lower bars and a GPZ style cafe fairing it looked good too. The weight wasn't terrible once you were rolling but just pushing it out of the garage was tricky because it was so tall and carried it's weight so high up on the bike. I miss the sound but that's about it!

Back in the early 80's when I lived in Dallas I went on a ride with 3 others, one of whom was the Honda dealer from the north side of town. His CBX had a 6 into 1. What a glorious sound, as good as any Ferrari. I've never heard a KZ1300 with a 6 into 1. I guess I'll have to reserve judgement until I hear one in person.

I bought a 1979 KZ1300 A model in the same dark green colour in the spring of 1980 it was slightly used from the BMW dealer. I was living on the west coast in Vancouver BC and the previous owner had bought it new from Abbotsford Kawasaki. Apparently this first owner had a job on Vancouver Island with a 40 mile gravel stretch which the KZ1300 did not do well on. He had traded it in on a Russian copy of a WWII BMW with a sidecar for the gravel. The big KZ seat height was 32 inches standing. You needed to be tall with long legs so you could stop with both feet on the ground (I'm 6 foot 3 inches). There were a few of these 'A' models around on the west coast and all the riders were tall. The Canadian model had no emission equipment compared to American model but all ratings were the same. A wonderful bike in the mountains, didn't like city driving particularly on a hot day and was best on the highway over 70 mph.

@@hugejohnson5011 I always liked the look and sound of the XS triples, especially the Midnights, but I have to say mechanically they weren't very good or well designed. Ever had a clutch or final drive apart on one? What an ass-backward, weird and awkward design. The whole engine was like that, too. Complexity for no good reason, with many more and strange parts than needed to get the job done, IMO. Even more so than the infamous Honda CBX or Kawasaki z1300. Kawasaki and Suzuki's 750 4's had way fewer, simpler, and better engineered parts than the XS 3's. And, even for the era, the triples were definitely on the overweight and slow side. I recently had a mint (appearing) candy red 78 XS750 Special in my shop. Unfortunately, it had overheated and spun a rod bearing. With both new and used-but-useable spare parts being practically non-existent for the XS750, 850, and even the 1100 (the 1100 was in production until at least 1985), the owner had no real economical alternative but to part it out and scrap what was left over......

It was incredibly stable at high speed. You could sit at near top speed in top gear and be nowhere near the red line up hill it didn't matter.

The 400 supersport I won't include. But comparing Any other 750 I've owned, Yamaha, Kawasaki, or Honda. This bike was overlooked by me in 82. But I'm grateful I came across it. I was looking for a Honda, then the Suzuki appeared. I'm still impressed at how smooth it is. My hands don't fall asleep, requiring an unwanted stop. It's underated by most reviewers now, & it's price. . Then again they've never ridden one.

To each their own, but I think the CBX has a slightly better sounding exhaust because it revs thousands higher than the z1300. I've revved a CBX to 14,000 rpm (accidentally - long explanation, but I was distracted) and it lived on. I very much doubt any stock z1300 could survive over 11,000. My pick of best sounding multi-cylinder bikes is probably a tie between the CBX, the Aprilia V-4, and the cross plain R1. Of course, this is coming from someone who likes the sound of Honda's early V-4's, too.

It should be noted that the Kawasaki’s three carburetors were a disaster. They employed cast in passages inside the carburetor that became clogged with fuel deposits and impacted the control of idle and slow speed jetting causing the bike to be near unridable in some cases. The older the bike became the worse the condition became. I spent many long weekends trying to get it right for one owner and just couldn’t solve the problems. Finally letting the carb bodies sit in a parts ultrasonic cleaning bath with diesel fuel partially fixed the issue temporarily. Eventually Kawasaki solved the issue with later models using fuel injection. This was in the touring model with full fairing.

When You talk about more technically advanced, the CBX was light-years ahead of the BIG TURD Kawi, it, for the most part, was a Touring machine, the CBX has a race bred engine derived from a real life race bred motorcycle, the CBX would run circles around that 1300 Kawi any way ya wanted to race. To say because the Kawi was water cooled made it more advanced, is like saying so is a GoldWing!! The 1300s were a very weak build, not standing up to race like abuse, and quite often, the engines had lower end breaking issues. I was well into Motorcycling during this heyday of Beautiful Bikes, the Kawasaki was not even in the same realm as the Honda CBX.. That said, all of the manufacturers built some beautiful great performing bikes, but none were, and most likely ever will be the Advanced Masterpiece that the Honda CBX was in its day...

@@ekspatriat Well, I've been on dozens of 1000+ cc bikes since 83, and that might be fine if you are the one to get the low gear drop on the unsuspecting whoever you are trying to leave in the dust. Or if you always ride around only in first or second gear like the imbeciles on 600 sport bikes constantly bouncing off the rev limiters and getting pulled over by police. But time spent with the clutch pulled in, throttle backed off, or the transmission slopping between gears - is time wasted slowing down, not accelerating. A quick shifter would help a bit, maybe, but is out of character for an old Cogger 80's superbike, IMO..... I know as fact - I've been caught many times on fast top end power biased bikes with pitiful mid-range and low end (like the CBX, GPz1100 DFI Uni-Trak, YZR600, etc.) relaxing one or two gears too tall when someone else on a less powerful but higher torque bike (like the early VF750 V-4 and KZ750L3) nails the gas the same or one gear lower than me and leaves me for dead. Then I'm stomping down on the shifter two or three times before I can get on the throttle. By the time I've fanned the clutch, dropped down the gears, and got on the gas, it's already over and they are gone.... With old bikes that have mountains of torque anytime the tach is above 900 rpm (like my big FJ and GS1150E - from idle to redline the GS positively stomps the sixes and all inline fours of the era except the 86 FJ1200 ), even casually slogging along in top gear, just twist the right grip and hang on.... No-way no-how is anything like a DFI GPz1100 or CBX going to catch up no matter how fast they stomp down gears. Then there were the V-Max, Magna, and Sabre (yes, I've ridden all three). The GS and FJ pulled hard in a roll-on. The V-Max, Magna, and Sabre were another level above them. Opening the throttle stretched your arms, flattened your eyeballs, and left traffic looking like it was going backwards in the mirrors - any rpm, any gear.

I had the great fortune to ride all of these bikes, as well as a Mike Hailwood Edition Ducati and many other of their contemporaries. Being short of leg, some were a challenge, but for a great SPORT bike, the MH Ducati and a twisty road are great!

All those old bikes handled badly and had poor brakes, some better than others but nothing near what came in the next decades. But... the looks, engines and sound was just better then (that's objective of course).

I once had a fool on Z1300 Kaw say that his bike was faster than my CBR 1100 XX Blackbird.... I said to him that I would give him a 10-bike-length headstart over a mile run.. I overtook him by the time I hit 3rd gear 😂😂😂😂

So , you gave him a 25 metre head start & it took you all the way to 3rd gear to catch the Z1300 with your 160 HP Race Bike passing at a 100 Mph ; nothing to brag about. If the two were in a 1,000 Mile Endurance race - my money would be on the Z1300...

@@1arritechno LMAO 🤣 You obviously don't ride bike calling a blackbird a race bike 😂 Its always fun putting someone down who's bragging about his bike being faster than someone else's bike when in reality It isn't.. It's funny you mentioned you choosing the reliability of the Kawasaki over the Honda… I did a 5,000 Europe tour with a friend who rode a Kawasaki ZZR 1100 and that thing broke down more times than Zsa Zsa Gabor's marriages 😂

IMO - Nah, running z1300's and Voyager 1300's are even more rare than the CBX now. I'm sure Kawasaki produced fewer z1300's than Honda built CBX's. But neither sold very well. The big four cylinder z's (900, 1000, 1100) are the longest lived and most numerous of the 70's - 80's superbike era still in running condition, IMO. They were in production from 1973 to about 2003 in one form or another - many more of those were made for way many more years than either the CBX or z1300. Another problem is parts for thez1300 and CBX are mostly discontinued. Keeping either running is just getting extremely difficult and expensive with every passing year.

@@scottb8175 I don't think any of the six cylinder models sold particularly well, but would agree the Z1300 is probably the most rare based on how many I've ever seen in person, or for sale. Sales were limited mainly because they weren't that good, for all the extra expense compared to the 4 cylinder offerings of the time. Looking back 40+ years later the rarity and novelty value combine to make them much more appealing. They are a much different proposition too as a "toy" for a collector in 2022 than they were as something used for regular transport, as they were in their time. As you state the parts situation is now a problem when compared to other bikes of the era. I have a 78 Kawasaki Z1000A2 and could easily buy every part needed to build another one, between all the NOS parts available, used parts and the huge market in pattern parts.
