Awesome pretty good and nice bike I ride in Spain in the early 80´s then the LTD came with my oil rigs mates they went to the motocycle saloon in Scotland. … They crossed Scotland to Spain, with 3 LTD’s Kawasaki and 1 KZ 1000 such as this one ride on that was a good trip ! The little one of the Rig Group was an RD 350 LC : a bloody missile on wheels 😂💪🏽with a scottish brother. You bring nice bikes back to life thank you to Ken and his son, and still ride on ! God bless our great America and new President ❤ Laurent
That is one gorgeous Superman Blue Kawasaki KZ. I love the exhaust note of the Kirker exhaust system. Also Love the 4 black painted pipes of the exhaust system. I think the black goes better with the blue paintjob than chrome would. I remember loving KZ's since I was a little kid. Great video. ML&R.
1977 Kawasaki kz1000 yes sir one badass rocket Kaplan cycle is always has the best classics best on the East Coast😮😮❤❤ My buddy's good father has one all set up for drag racing he loves that bike that bike is a diamond all day all day

Are the forks and brake calipers on it backwards? I've seen them single disc with the caliper on the front. But dual disc are on the back side of the forks.
I believe my brother had a Suzuki of the 1000 cc super sick hot rod 2 wheel 🛞 machine 7:44 He passed away few year's ago God bless him and you all and you're family 8:04
Gorgeous bike, sir. I absolutely LOVE the classic sound of one of George Kerker's pipes. I have one on my 81 GS 750, medium competition baffle... Gives ya a boner.
As much as I love the Kawasaki kz1000 I just can’t get myself to buy one for 15 or 20k or more. I bought a new Kawasaki Z900rs, it’s got classic styling, modern handling and a more powerful motor.
Instead of filming while running beside a bike that you are featuring, why not film while riding in that EV mini truck you got. It might improve video quality. 👍
Could listen to that kz run through gears all day they have that perfect streetbike sound
I had a blk. Motor 73< 1'st year > with 1105 big bore wiseco kit. Could 🕊! 🤣👍🤚👳♂️
Man, That Brings back Good Memories ! Awesome Job on a Legend Bike
Glad it brought back good memories!
She looks and sounds amazing.... 🥰... Always love these absolute beauties you guys at Kaplan show us... Thanks Ken.... You guys are legendary...
Bought one new in 1977,great bike!love you’re channel!
Better than the 900 imo, especially the brakes. Motor sounds strong on this one , no rattles 👌💪
TRULY AMAZING, LOVE THOSE BIKES and the KZ900!!!! WISH I WAS WEALTHY!

Stunning bike, great video! From Shaun in Norwich uk 🇬🇧
Love what you guys do to these bikes.
Sounds and looks superb. What a bike👍
I had one of those Kawasaki 1000 but I had RC engineering build a motor that was a fast son of a gun back in the days here in Bakersfield
Absolutely beautiful machine sounds perfect as well.

Sweet. Wish I could afford to shop at Kaplans every week
The civilian version of the KZ 1000 police bike!😊
No weird paintjob and decals, no weird plastice. That KZ is what a bike should look like.
The OG superbike!
DJT jigg'n at the end?😁

My wife and I used to bomb around on a 77 KZ 750. Good ol days
My mate had one in Australia did it go and they were in mad max nice bikes 🤙🤛
Beautiful bike

I had a 1980 kz1000ltd the 1/8 mile burnouts were to fun😊
Nice!
The OG Bulavard Brawler. Toe Cutter special.
When I see these bikes it reminds me of the Waters Brothers at Putnam Kawasaki I was about 12 years going there for my F7 175
The sound of that bike is so sweet and distinctive

Great looking Bike. I have the Maroon one with Kerker header. Fast as a bullet. Thanks
They really are fast!
The most hottest looking bike!
They sounded the best with a Vance & Hines or a "Star" 4 into 1 pipe.
Good days. "Let the good times roll!"
You could run for president.
I like it alot.
Mad Max baby ❤❤❤

Was the tank sealed or does that lower the value?

Mad Max! Toe Cutter bike
You won't lose any $ restoring this gem. How many hours to rebuild the carbs?
Better sound than A Ducati ,,,some drag links and aluminum rear rim , drag slick and wheelie bars
🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅
There’s nothing more bad ass than the h Onda CB 1000 I think? in line 6 cylinder
I love your mini Trump dance at the end, God bless America!!!
