I ran a 78 LTD with an 1198cc 12.5 to 1 with a J Model VHR pro head. Left hand Denco tricone sidewinder and 36mm lectron carbs. With a 12 inch slick I ran a consistent 8.90 index. I miss the bike, I wrecked it when a semi pulled out infront of me. I spent 2 months in the hospital and watched the paramedic amputate my leg above the knee at the scene.Be careful and keep doin what your doin, nothing like a Z1 Kaw for having a good time.

my favorite sound in the whole wide world definitily one of the main reasons i have raced kawi's for over 20 years that and the fact they are pretty much indestructable

My 1075cc KZ built by Perf. Cycles John Delisle of Ocala fl. 8" slick,33mm smoothbores,3X Andrews cams,1-2 auto trans,and a lockup clutch.. I got consistent 9.teens and a couple of 9.0`s with a fresh build. Good run on yours...

beautiful stretched 1978 Z1R. two of them actually sounds like a welded crank

Damn good run bro.Baddest Bike on the planet back n the day.

Great video 👍, perfect light reaction, perfect launch and really nailed the shifting! God Damn you're good!

Nice run. Was the camera on a rope?

Gotta love the old KAWASAKIS! 👍 back in the day I raced the H2 triples did 9,9 s all day! Braaaaaaap!
