The lineup of guys is as legendary as the bikes they're on. You're very blessed to have Billy and Jeff on your team, Ken.

I’ll always have a spot in my heart for those bikes.. I’ve said it here before, my first “car” was. 77 kz1000 in 1978.. it was a beast and it’s a miracle my 16 year old ass didn’t die 😂

A buddy had a Honda cb350 that I used to smoke all the time on my yamaha r5 350. One day he showed up on a 73 Z1 900. Bike was brand new. Yeah, my r5 wasn't any match for that Z1. That bike was insane for the times ! Had only seen them in magazines, but in person was absolutely beautiful. Made the Honda 750 look obsolete !

I was in junior high, when the Z1 showed up in our Quincy IL dealer. They’re just a stunning machine, their look has aged as well as any motorcycle ever bike.

Finish high school in 1974 ,got a job ,save 800 ,bought a 75 550 Honda, traded it for 75 AMF FXE 1200, Harley got stolen few month later, took insurance money and bought a 75 900Z1B .Of all the 9 bikes I owned ,4 Japanese bikes and 5 Harleys The one bike I miss the most is the Z1 . Ride a 99 EVO now.

RIP Howard , he had an amazing collection

I love those bikes! Sound great, look great, and run great. I wouldn't even mind one of the new Z900's... in rootbeer and orange.

Ты не перестаёшь удивлять!!! Мотики как новые

One really Beautifull ex of Kawasaki 900cc!! This mc was my dream in 1972. That was the year, when I was allowed to get the license for an mc over 500cc. Sorry to say, it took me until 1979 to get my first bike, and until 1988, to buy my first brandnew Kawasaki GPZ900R. But the Z1 900 is still one of the best, and most attractive motorcycel machines, even now! 👍🏾💪🏾🇸🇪

I wish you guys would wear helmets more often.

Bro Kap... this classic look will NEVER die 👊🏼🇺🇸

Awesome! I wish bikes were still made like this. I am sick of todays cookie cutter do nothing v twin cruisers. Gimme an old fashioned 4 banger every time! 😎

Kawasaki lets the good times roll

I rode that red bike 1000 miles in 1973 and it was the most awesome thing

Had a 1973 Z1. Drove it from Pittsburgh Pa. to San Diego and back in 1982. Only had to replace the chain cause it stretched out. Damn dependable bike.

My stepdad used to talk about his 74 kawi 900 he bought brand new, i heard he was crazy on that thing said it would fly

Amazing! Pristine condition! What a beauty and the OG kick start!

Never owned one of these but did own a 82 kz 1000 j kerker white tip exhaust and telefix fork brace and tracy fairing. It was one bike that I really regret selling. But those bikes are badass.

They were awesome then and still just as awesome.

My good friend just passed away in Texas. I'm down here now in Texas and he has a 73 Z1 in excellent unrestored condition. Original paint, seat, exhaust etc,. I'll be doing inventory on that and his other bikes. A number of sandcast CB750's was well as several CBX, 75 Goldwing in very, very nice original condition etc etc etc. The parts inventory is staggering and would take a year of full time work to go through. BTW....I know Justin from Kaplan's....my billet block is what he has on his turbo CB750.

So darn pretty and powerful! Loved them from day one. Just got myself a '23 café.

I'm drooling .Absolutely incredible bike .Had a honda 550/4 k model in the 80s .This was my dream machine .Watch yourself blasting with bare arms my friend .Don't want you to end up with the elbow scars like mine .Had a yamahe 750 triple US import too ..Good stuff lads .Great video.

Best damn bikes I’ve seen on the net yet. Braaaaap, braaaaap brothers.

Holy cow bringing back good memories thx Kaplan man 😎🇺🇸✌🏽

Man that’s one of my all time favorites. It and the big gsSuzuki 1100 ect ! Those were some good years from all of the big three ! Honda’s 900cb, the CBX -6cyl ! Several very nice bikes that you could ride today. Some of the Best. Pray 🙏🇺🇸

Beautiful bike, I was waiting for a wheelie like the opening scene in ‘Stone’

I could have bought this bike in 73 but i bought the h2 because every thing i read said it was the fastest and while i did outrun a Z1 from time to time (and got outrun) I have always regretted not getting the Z1

I have a 78 kz900 in a Kawasaki Mojave atv. She's wild. Done right by my pops and a local legend

Traded my 71 Mach3 for a 73 just like that. $1,999. Rode it for six years and 60k miles. Of all the bikes I’ve owned, the Z was far and away the best.

Pinnacle of Z900's !

I always liked how these sound, they sound good

Beautiful bikes! What a great collection.

I have a 75 Z1 B that I would love to have redone

Triplets, those bikes are beautiful!

Lol that mic catch was incredible. :)

Take a shot for everything time he says “ looks like it came from 1973”

What a beaut, fraid to say colours a bit grim,only like Kwakas that are green!👍👌

Classic beauty!

My Dad bought a 1975 z1 900 new and we found his original bike we are in a very slow process of restoration on it

Damn what a nice bike Ken.

I bought this year and model new for 2450.00 The Sophia Loren of motorcycles.

That’s a later Z1. The frame is braced under the steering stem. I have a friend with a ‘73 Z1 and the frame broke where the brace plate on your ‘73 is.

unbelievable! I'm stunned....

Started out early 70s with a kz400. Got bored and took out loan for a ZI...... Rode that for awhile then sold it..... Few yrs later in the mid 80s found anther one think still have a picture of it😎

The spotlight will definitely be on that bike at Auction. Beautiful doesnt even do it justice. Not to mention the other ones which I'm sure you are breeding Ken.😁👍

Damn, got em all lined up. Eeny meany miney mo

Just gorgeous

Those are a work of art!! Kawasaki lets the good times roll!!

Stunning bikes

I almost never say this, but that motorcycle is too pretty to ride. It's a show piece.

Cool

How good is the Kawasaki KD market these days , say for a 125 KD A3 '76' , I just got one and I do have a video up on my channel of it , just wondering. ✌️

Beautiful machine

I thought I was untouchable with my H2 triple until one of these rolled up to a stop light, it kicked my ass

Damn, i want this bike

I sold mine 20 years ago and regret every day 😢😢😢

Super Bikes

Id buy this for mAi Uncle. He had one. Theres a pic of ne as a toddler on his. Same colour 😍😋🤤🎨

Is there a sweeter bike ? Love it !

What dates are the rims ?

Beautiful.

What a beauty. In your opinion is that the best colourway? Greetings from Old England

I can pick one fault, the handlebar clutch cable adjuster ring is off a later model, just saying!

Onizuka's bike frfr

I was 11 years old!

Thanks these are buetiful.

Incredible

Was wondering if you were going to pop a wheelie

SWEET

Exhaust? Are doremi's?

still my dream but unreachable😢

NICE!

My buddy had one

I saw the sale at $55,000 at the auction 2023...is this one ?

The z1900 are worth 40,000 now days

Alpha wolf riding, a word to the tiger;(KAPLAN) Turks.

Always worried your gonna bounce that microphone off a tank one of these times

👍💯

👊🏻✊🏻

Drean bike x3

Rambo deu a ideia

My neighbor has one IDENTICAL to this, only his has over 250k on it and looks the part.

Ken kaplan sir how much dollar price sir

Helmets without helmets

If I win the Lottery I'm going to bring a tractor-trailer up there and buy a whole bunch of Sasquatch's motorcycles

Disappointed there was no holeshot or wheelie.

Best looking Bike ever. "New York Steak" I think this one, should stay off the road. It is way too Historical. Too many careless, distracted drivers around.

안전모 미착용.

Zee or zed ?

羨

ooo

Fucking helmets ⛑️ 🪖 😑, sick looking bike

❤😂😂❤😂

all the black paint on the motor is wrong! I have a 74 Z1a I know!
