- Old School Kawasaki KZ's at a bike event in FL, doing a few burnouts and holeshots.
Most of these bikes are 1970-1980 models, custom swing-arms and modified motors and open drag racing exhaust pipes.
I'm on the red Z1R with a 280 custom rear tire and race motor.
What do you think of these custom bikes? LIKE or Subscribe please! #bike
My hats off to all of you. These are some of the best badass bikes I have ever seen. Having grown up in the era of these bikes, makes me miss those days. I have had all sorts of bikes from these bikes to crotch rockets to my current custom chopper and I will say that my all time favorite bike was my 1980 Z1R. I regret every day that I did not keep that bike. That bike saw everything from me and my wife bar hopping on it the whole week of our honeymoon to cruising College Avenue in Appleton Wisconsin which was like the avenue cruising on American Graffiti. I had my Z all Chromed out but not even close to the extent of these machines. And yes back then I was even sporting the full Mullet on it. When I was younger my dads friends all used to leave the local bar at 2am and let their Z's rip down the main street out to the country and I tell you there is nothing in the world compared to hearing those bikes with the Kerker headers on a hot summer night with the windows open. Again my hats off to you guys for not following the norm with bikes these days and going old school with the coolest bikes in the world.
Gotta Love Old School, guy lived 3 houses down in Philly 1973 fired up his Z1 first time I ever heard anything like that.Fell in Love
I hope these guys are still at it in 2021!
Chances are all these dudes are on Glides now. This fad faded out with the brothas which is fine with me cause that means there’s some sick ass Zs out there for us Z lifers.
@@hottotty13 True! I've never seen such a bandwagon as these guy's buying full-dress Harley's. They're like the Borg Collective: same bikes, same loud, goofy music playing, same tattoos, same clothes. And they all seem to ride like assholes. I own 4 Japanese bikes from 1973 to 1985 and I'm good with that!
I ride Harleys but I sure would like to have one of these! Beautiful!!
Hands down the best bikes THAT EVER came off the assembly line...
These are some amazing Kaw's! Some of the best motorcycles ever made!
Yo had a '79 years ago. Thanks for keepin those poppin. One of my favorite bikes I ever owned...
These are way cooler that the late model plastic bikes the have now
💯💯💯💯💯
They were called plastic in their time just the same.
One of my favorite videos ever.
Love old school bike glad I kept my LTD Kawasaki now in the process of restoring. The Z1R's are tight and the Suzuki Katana all nice bikes.
Pure class these modified z thous.... savage looking bikes....Immaculately prepared. Best wishes from Ireland.
These brothers know how to do it up !!
Now this is the style of bike that needs to be more popular today 2022 going into 2023
Manufacturers are way too cheap to make bike like these today. It's all about making and saving money. Look at Yamahas today, they killed R6 and made R7 which is a joke based on super budget Mt-07. Same with R9 coming
What a Shame
Awesome bikes especially love the old Katana at the end.
Love the old z 900's and had a Z1R 1000 ! Where was about 10 of us that had one of the other a 900 to1000 !We get together and take off on a all day ride ! Sometimes not get back till the mid am hours ! Good times Good times !1973 being the oldest and mine being the newest a 1978 kaw 1000d Z1-R !There classic now wroth so much money especially in stock unmolested forum ! Please don't take this in the wrong way ! All of them kaws are unquestionably decked out and customized ! Beautiful bikes ! I'm one to love complete original as close to factory the better ! For its resale value ! Not every person's taste is the same that's y everyone of the bike was customized different in some way ! To fit ther flair and unique mind blowing taste !
Hell Yeah! All them bikes look BAD ASS!!
something special about that green one so sick
Chrome side winder exhaust?? Damn that’s bad ass !!!!
I wanna be in this club! I just come back and watch this video every once ina while! lol

Thanks Bra, also check out old school rules on facebook.
Sick Z1R's! I posted on another video you posted of you guys in a parking lot. Just curious where you guys bought or had your seats made (on the two red Z1R's) Thanks for any help you can give. Keep those bikes alive, they're amazing! Strong work
NIce BIkes !!!
These guys have some big money in those bikes! Nice.

Why are we as black foks attracted to the kz? I love these bikes and all of those were tight as hell. Yall gonna make me sell my honda.
I like them bikes,used to find old 750 kaw's everywere.not anymore.looks like u guys all got 1000 bikes.nice!
some very nice bikes
the old school bikes are the new school crouch rockets
💥 Having Fun💥
Kickass
Sukuki 1150 snuck in there.
Hell yea!!!!
Those bikes are perfect. Functional, and laid out. Getting 4 carbs synced and running right can be hard, these bikes are set on 11
I had a 903 and did a Nippondenso many times, not too many burnouts it was kinda squarely if you know what I mean being stock and all.
Good to see some modified zeds and 1 katana if im right
When do they have kz events in FL and where
Those bikes have character and heart something that new bikes don't have 83 is the cut off for me
Badass
Just got 81 kz 750 today... Going bobber all the way...
Proper!
Those are some (BADASS KZ'S) You guys should bring them to the rocker box show in milwaukee on augest 4th the bigges bike show around here.About 2000 bike's and not all harley's.Some very cool bike's. Awsome video
If you close your eyes, it sounds like mad max hahaha.
Where is this?
how far are you guys extending the swing arms and how much rake are you doing to the front end. new guy with a kz1000z1r
I'm trying to get the same or like stance as the green one or the first one. any help is appreciated.
i built 3 of these bikes: bik #1 is a 79/80 kz1000 mkll w/1170cc J motor, #2 (silver)77 kz1000 1105cc and the green one is a 74 Z1 1170cc J motor. Green Z1 1/4 @ 10.25 126mph at PBIR when it was called MOROSO. Check grasshopperkz or kzfrost to see other KZ's i built. Only real difference in chassis setup between the Z1 and MKII is amount of rake. MKII has a little less. Swingarm length about the same also, MKII's is a little wider
obzion MrJr0090 and traviscarey posted some vids of the MKII, Z1 and my dragbike Z1 on CZcams. Street vids are in downtown Mia, racetrack vid was from the old Countyline Drageway in Mia Dade Co.
thanks for replying. And did you do any rake to the mkll or green z1. How long is the swing arms if you don't mind me asking
obzion
Green Z1
rake = 8 or 9 degrees over stock
swing arm = 8inch longer at the end of axle slot
Mkll rake was a little less, maybe 6 or 7 degrees over stock. And swing arm an inch or two longer.
sorry for all the questions. but what up numbers could I expect from a 1070 engine kit. would I be able to keep up with my buddies cbr1000rr I think he's at 140hp
That last one Suzuki Getting IT Man’. Damm. Ffockkk. Shhittt
I'm calling the cops!
is that last bike an old gs?
there nothing under 1000cc here is there xD
anybody know what the first bike was
It was what was called the J model Kz 1000 around 1981 models the motors did not have kick starters.
@@josephdavis3686 yup found out it was a mk2
Where did you get the swingarm setup
Where can I get chrome rims at for my kz900? Abs do you guys have different front ends
Hey, on my bike I chromed the factory rims. Other guys will use aftermarket rims or off newer Kawasaki bikes and do the conversion to mount them. The front end are KZ just the frame has been raked to have the front wheel sitting out furhter.
i never knew how they were able to put a race motor on the street, lol
That last bike, damn handle bar dent in tank. Did the same thing to my KZ1100. (happens when you put drag bars on them)
What kind of swing arm is used to stretch these bikes?
custom made
Obviously you don't know much about drag racing lowering and stretching is to change weight distribution and lowering is for air flow
I'M ROLLEN A 81 KZ1000j RIGHT NOW!!!,AN WHEN ONE OF MY BOYS ASK TO RIDE IT WHEN THEY GET BACK IT SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF THEM CAUSE ALL THAT UNPREDICTABLE HORSEPOWER IS A PURE RUSH!!! OLD SCHOOL FOOL
yo this is tony nice job.
very crazy....
アメリカのカスタムはすごいな
金のかけ方が日本と違うね笑
Love the video...by the way are those spider exhaust on the very 1st bike and the red Z1, where can I get one? I just retro fitted a sportbike frontend on my 77kz and I need ground clearance. the megaphone hits the ground on right turns pretty bad...help if you can with that info, thanks!
please dont eer take this video down!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One Suzuki Katana
murica...
What is the point of lowering and stretching a motorcycle? It ruins the handling, which is the *best* part of riding.
They're set up to drag race. These bikes handled like shit stock anyway. They were heavy and not very aerodynamic. My first bike was a 78 kz1000. I'd love to have one of these.
Doug Elick they never rode that great lol
Great looking bikes love the KZ'S I have 3 KZ1000'S check out my videos!
Poor bikes
タイヤは、異常に減るし、クラッチにも負担が掛かる・・(^_^;) 見た目が凄いだけの、くだらないパフォーマンス。
Straight lane bikes :(
ざ くれいじーらいだー

My hayabusa and gsxr1000 would say bye bye to your CBR black bird
