I Had 1978 z1r great bike
Owned two KZ1000 bikes in the 70's , thanks for the upload.
My dream bike Z1R have a great Memorial Monday brother ok later900 to
dont pimp it to much
That is not the original tank on the 78 Z1R. The 78s had the lower profile tank with the gas cap on the right side. The taller 80 model black tanks were able to use the center gas cap.
Jack, great video! You have come to New England for Rice O Rama. Very similar to this show. September 8th Spencer Fairgrounds, Spencer, MA. Great Japanese motorcycle show and swap meet!
Overdelivers wow Jack, brings back so many memories, thanks for the video JK
I went to buy that Z1R new back in 1978 but my local Kawasaki dealer wouldn’t let me test ride it. I left went to the Suzuki dealership to test ride my 2nd choice a 1978 GS1000E and they quickly added a license plate and said try it. I bought it. I still always wanted that Z1R but that Suzuki was a great bike. I pulled for Wes Cooley back in those days.
There’s another one of my dream bikes as young boy of 12 in 78’, then the 1000R ELR came along and I fell in love again lol. Love your vids CD
I had a black 1980 Z1R as my first ride when I returned to motorcycling in the 1990s after giving it up in 1970 for a variety of reasons. The previous owner had thought himself to be a mechanic rather than a tech., so I had trouble with it. It was gorgeous. I was never sure what was wrong with it until we pulled the head to but a big bore kit on it. The backside of the valves were rounded and the valve seats were not. Hmmm. Classy bike with sawhorse suspension. I sold it. But, It was a great reintroduction. Now I honed down my preferences to an SV650. I will never give up riding. I'm 77, be 78 in March. Ride Sober and stay alive.
