Kawasaki might just be coming out with the best modern tribute to a classic that I've ever seen....


Z900RS

1974 Z1

And it's based on this fucking transformer

 

[R13]

Actually looks pretty spiffy

I'd even rock it

 

[R13]

Took this piece of shit down to vatozone to get some tire cleaner... turns out it runs like shit in 60 degree temps with a fucked up ecu and no IAT sensor :lol:

Spiffy? :lol:


It's a damn good tribute IMO, but I'd still rather have my old shit :lol:

Whodathunk that it wouldn't run right.... :rolf:

 

[R13]

It runs acceptably in 80-90 degree temps. It was bucking and sputtering like a bitch today though :lol:

And you prefer the old shit because it fits you short fuckers better :rolf:

 

[94RS]

I prefer the old shit because it has more style while being simple as shit.

Refer back to that Z900 transformer compared to the basic '74 Z1.... :rolf:

 

[R13]

"Simple"

There's nothing simple about carbs :rolf:

"Simple"

There's nothing simple about carbs :rolf:

Again, I was speaking of styling :lol:

There's some lights, a tank, a seat, passenger grab rail, and that's about it. The Z900 screams "look at me! I have angles!!! Aren't I edgy?." :lol:

 

[R13]

Z900 screams "look at me! Aren't I edgy?." :lol:

So basically the same thing a thug style dyna screams :rolf:

 

[94RS]

Thug style Dyna is a modded bike though, styled after some Hell's Angels type shit.


Kawasaki Z's, Yamaha FZ's, Suzuki GSX non-R's, and Honda CB's all look like Optimus Prime took a shit and added wheels

 

[R13]

:lol:

[94RS]

Got home and found my cat looking at me like "wtf do you want? This is mine now" :rolf:

 

[R13]

You have a cat? I kinda took it you were too cold hearted for pets :rolf:

I hope he/she/it is declawed though... or those seats are fucked :lol:

 

[94RS]

You said the same shit before when I had the plastics off the XB and she claimed the fairing as a hut :lol:



That seat cover was fucked anyway. Remember I bought the flat seat that took almost 4 months to receive? I had the Buell for a month before that thing showed up :lol:
