Only three manufacturers worldwide produced motorcycles with an in-line 6-cylinder engine. Honda, Kawasaki and Benelli. So here's one of them. Of course, there is also a technical description of the motorcycle.
Yes I know I am the crazy one ... Drive almost 50 years. The CBX 160,000 km and the Z 1300 260,000 km all over Europe. They are my favorites. Still in my possession today I have a lot of driving pleasure with these two despite my GL 1800 and Pan European 1300
@@CuoreSportivo No, I bought the CBX 1000 new in 1978 and the Z 1300/A3 new in 1982. My biggest motivation was traveling. The Newton/power and sound were not a motive. With both bikes I crossed Europe from the Northern Cape to eastern Anatolia Gürbulak, most of the Greek islands and the Moroccan Agadir. They are still in my possession ... Even today I still like to drive "basic" with these six-cylinders, for example my CBX runs more vibration-free than my new GL 1800/2018 !!! I have to admit that for that time of period ... "both engines were the softest-smooted on the market" Greetz from Belgium. Stay Safe 😎

@@CuoreSportivo Now forty years later, we are still talking to friends from back then about your beautiful country and the friendly people. Oh man, Göreme, Nevşehir, Merkez, lake Van, big and narrow Arrarat (Mount "Agrı") Oh lovely country... Pamukkale, Denizli, You can rightly be proud of your beautiful country. Stay Safe
me too still got one in garage NEED to get going again- Mike its a voyagr KZ1300B need to remove horrendous bodywork though- very rare with it but horrible - Mike
My bike, as I had it. Not green but black 's nice too! 340Kg empty weight! And the most fun was 3 gear and then pull from 60 to 160, the sound was the best ;-) But not driveable below 10 Liter 100Km. I sold it for Tüv cause I needed all 3 Breakdiscs new. Each 700 Mark(~350€) I kept a 2nd KZ 500 wich was more fun driving wise.It swam like all the Kawasakis from 1980 But swimming 200Kilogramm are much nicer as 340 of them ;-) And my favorite was the CBX anyway. OK, my Kawa friends will read this and lynch me now BTW: My Bike had hundred Horsepower! Not 120 this Information must be from the DFI Version

@@MVW54 I'm just as nuts;-) But you got ten years more on your back ;-) I only had a car once a panda -since car's aren't fun anyway.But I needet the space for lagguage.Everyday driver On Bikes. Summer winter non stop
@@MrNickelbrille 👍 Hey there, some friends of mine still ride the KZ 500. Great bike ... but I prefer the harder, heavier work, as long as my physique can handle that of course, we also ride winter and summer non stop! In Belgium we are spoiled here with the beautiful Ardennes and its surroundings. So nothing to complain about. Stay healthy.

The first motorbike I scared myself on. it was in 1984. Braking was a horror !! La première moto sur laquelle je me suis fais peur. c'était en 1984 . Le freinage était une horreur !!

Kawasoup we called - splashed like soup on the asphalt ... How many son-less mothers it made... Two of my friends never saw adulthood on those damn speeders but no turner and returning guys back home ... The era of European handling unreachable by Japan and it's frames ...
