75 Z1900 Dirty Lowdown FULL MOVIE 

Makes my heart go when you ride it up and down the drive!

The motorcycle Gods are smiling.

Perfect in it's truthful imperfection, a nice survivor.

The colors on that bike are purrrfect🐱

As usual, a very interesting video. Shame the frame didn't receive some minor rust removal and a bit of paint once everything was out, though. Still, very nice to see you get these bikes back on the road in workable condition instead of building trailer-queens!

If I were to win I would want a Euro-style lower steering bar, a 4-1 exhaust (as the exhausts that are on it now are not the originals anyway), a seat cover, and I would want the frame to be power coated. Love this channel and love to see these old beasts get some TLC Following the auction.

What a fantastic survivor. I like 'em rough around the edges. I don't feel so bad when I take them for a rip or ten

Nice work guys! Really like you saving these old girls, happy trails, Doug

Nice work guys! Another one saved.

Bring it back to life

First time viewer. Not here for the full restore, so I skipped ahead here and there. Really just here for the trip down memory lane... This was one of if not the original 4 stroke, inline 4, Japanese super bikes. I had a 1979 KZ-1000 that was built up pretty good, but this is the grand daddy... awesome job, guys! :)

Beautiful job - again!

Thanks for another great video, and Great Save.........

Absolutely loving your video's from here in the UK your manner and the the work you and the team do is breathtaking.Why watch tv when we got you guys?

Love these old patina bikes.

Keep up the good work. This bike wound up in good hands!

as always,very interesting video.thanks a lot :-)

Im in Ottawa Canada & Johnny's had new turnsignal mounts & a correct numbered key for my 72 H-2 resto.

Great job, I would love it the way you all done it. Everyday cruiser

This would be a great bike for day two boltons, low bars, KERKER pipe, rear fender delete, Shoei fairing if you want to get some Mad Max vibes!

I enjoy your videos. Thankyou for your efforts.

i use the s 100 also ,but i buy it by the gallon ,and pour it into one of those small ,hand held ,pump up bug sprayer,,sure saves your hands..pulling that trigger over and over starts to cramp up the old mits..better to pump about 20 times ,then you just pull the trigger one time ,.and it comes out in a stream ..

Even when you , half ass restore them,, They come out great !!🤣🤣👍LOL

It's a vintage bike Salvation, rather than a Restoration

Great work I have a 1974 that I will like to get parts for it

What a transformation.

It is a great candidate for a full frame up rebuild

I wonder what it sold for? I like that its a runner and not a trailer queen. I could handle owning it. Run around on it and then first winter strip it to get the frame painted, but that's all, turn it into a bike you can improve and restore while you ride.

What a great bike Johnnny!!

BTW my neighbor has a 73 w/ 225k plus and counting. She's rough but tough with a rear Lester Mag.

Good job on every bike. But I would like to know the price it sold for on Ebay.That would be good info to know. Thanks!

The motor sounds healthy.

very very very nice bike jobs👍

have you ever think about to "make" one Z1 using all the usable parts you reject ? that could very very interesting to see, think about it.

Wonder how much that bike would sell for today...I wouldn't mind a good running bike that isn't aesthetically perfect.

Hey mate aussie Pete here i text you about purchasing a z 1 900 around 73 to 75...just a really nice every day ride but as stock as possible... Can you help me out with acquiring one... I really like your work.

I just have two questions? What is the reserve going to be on this bike, if any? And if I purchased it and want to restore it can the busted fin be fixed where it will be uniform with the rest of the fins? And im interested in you guys doing the restoration for me. Thanks for your time.

never seen you use the kick starter yet. I want to ask about a back-rest w/ carrier for these bikes, it would make a nice option.

following...

I wish my z400 was in your hands

The rear wheel is slightly turning when you gassed it on the stand. Is that a concern? Probably just a few finger-twists of the clutch adjustment?

People ask is it worth getting a bike restored, I would say NO, NO and thrice NO, do the math, here's why, this bike sold for $7500 on eBay, he charges a minimum $5500 JUST for labor to do the restoration so that's $13,000 then you have to pay for all the vapor blasting, re-chroming, powder coating, normal paint (tank, tail, panels) and PARTS, that means every seal, gasket, worn sprocket, damaged clutch/ gearbox /engine parts, tires, stainless spokes, the list is endless and probably anything rubber will have perished, plus you'll never buy a bike 100% complete to start with so you'll need to find and buy those missing parts that match your bike, the correct exhausts, air-filter, wheels, headlamp, clocks etc, etc..... you could end up spending near $18k total for this 1975 Z1b that would NEVER be worth that right now !!!, plus all the aggravation, discussion, time waiting, worry, honestly take your money and buy the bike in the condition you want it in and leave it in that condition !!

one question for you... What do you thinh about z1 900 super four? thank you

Como quisiera una kawasaki z1 soy de argentina es mi sueño tener una de esa 😕😕😕😕😕😕

Honest question. Is it worth it financially to restore something like this? Is there a market for it to make it worth the money.?

Has it been sold? If not, what's the magic number?

make it a Z1RTC

pulled that out of a lake

How much did this sell for?

cant stand the plated bolts who would use plated steel bolts !! On a Z1 unless total originality but then use the original supplier products..

It sounds mean.
