Our friend picked this Z1 up from an auction in Detroit. This is a "restored, un-restored" bike, our favorite kind of project. This bike came with Yoshimura pipes, big bore kit, high-performance Kenny Harmon cams, which we swapped out to bring the bike back to original. We'll be putting some miles on this bike to make sure it doesn't have any bugs while the weather is unseasonably warm. The bike seems to be in very good shape at this point.

I love what you guys do. Thank you so much for preserving all the vintage bikes that come through your doors, and not chopping them up into cafe racers.

Nice bike I would replace no 2 inlet valve and give them a grind new rings and put the cams that came out of it back someone spent good dollars on souping that engine up and she will go like anything

max you can bore stock 900 cylinders is 70 mm or 1015 cc. back in the 70's and early 80's before the days of big blocks they used remove the stock sleeves to bore out stock cylinder and put bigger sleeves out and they could go out to 76 mm bore or 1197 cc. infact i have 2 one 10.25-1 compression and the other has 13.5-1 mtc drag race pistons.the reason yosh built those 69 mm pistons was for the superbike road race class they had a 1000cc size limit and yosh also wanted keep abit extra meat in the sleeve so they would be less prone to going out of round due to the extra heat from high rpm. would you be interested in getting rid of those cams

While others are hooked on Netflix and Games of Throne; Im stuck with watching all of Johnny Vintage videos. Great great work....amazing....wish I could buy any one of those Z's...lol.... Just a safety note.....perhaps its good idea to wear at least a helmet when testing the bikes in the yard.....

Mahesh, thanks for your comments and your interest. I appreciate what you're saying about testing the bikes without a helmet. Just tested an H2 this evening but it was out on the road and I wore a helmet, as I always do off the property. I get it though. Thanks

what size rear sprocket do you recomend mine is 39 and im looking for an other gear at 60 mph csr 1000 1981
@Johnnysvintage
@Johnnysvintage 4 года назад
I am not sure what size was stock, as most of our stuff is 73-80. you can change the front as 1 tooth in the front is = to 2.79 tooth on the rear. So if you go lager that will be like taking off 3 tooth in the back

The strange thing i can't get my head round is with cars with headers on you open up the exhaus teven having twin pipes for 4 cyl cars . Yet with bikes you go down to a single bike from 4 pipes seems backwards to me and i always thought that single pipes on 4 cyl bikes sounded like crap.

Maybe to save weight? Tiny displacement compared to cars too, don;t need any more size probably.

Johnnie ....how much $$ do you usually sell an unrestored restored bike for ?
@Johnnysvintage
@Johnnysvintage 6 лет назад
It all depends on the condition of the bike to begin with and how far we take it. A ballpark might be $6500? Many variables with a basic restore or facelift
@steelwheels327
@steelwheels327 6 лет назад
Does that include the cost of the bike ? Like for example the barn find or the Detroit bike ?I looking for an everyday bike to enjoy , not concourse.
