Having recently changed my Kawasaki ZRX1200R to a KTM Super Duke GT, I began to wonder – “why did I sell my old bike? And why did I choose this particular model as its successor? Was the previous one bad for my needs? And will … Read More ›

I love the Kawasaki ZRX1200R model. I own one – last year of production: 2006, in the only colour available that year – brilliant Kawasaki Green. It is a very universal machine. It does the job as a daily ride, puts a smile on my … Read More ›
When I saw this bike’s photo somewhere on the internet – I immediately knew that something was off here. When I figured out what was it, I liked it even more. But when following the links, I found that Dave Solomon (an admin of the … Read More ›
I genuinely have a weak spot for this bike. And (surprisingly) it’s not because of Tom Cruise in Top Gun. It was up to the GPZ900R Ninja vs Suzuki GSX-S Katana when I was choosing my donor bike for the custom build. I was inspired … Read More ›
Kawasaki KZ1000 (known as Z1000 on the markets outside the US) is an underappreciated classic. That is a very polarising motorcycle. On the one hand – it’s been around for decades – serving mostly as the police bike since 1977 up until 2005. It won … Read More ›
Recently I got involved in a debate with a fellow blogger (Jabok from youngtimerbike24.pl), about what makes an excellent Youngtimer candidate among modern motorcycle models. It is obviously not just the age of the bike. We can find multiple examples that despite reaching proper age… … Read More ›
This is a build that You don’t meet often: Kawasaki with a boxer engine?! Looks familiar. Maybe, the cylinder head cover might seem like something You’ve seen, but not placed horizontally! And there is something wrong with the name. W400? What is going on here? Probably … Read More ›
“The beast” from Spain. This is a turbocharged Kawasaki KZ1000 Drag Bike. It doesn’t look like a straight to the track performance machine. There is a stylish and temperamental touch to it, except the pure power of the visible engineering. But don’t get distracted by this bespoke, custom-made monocoque bodywork… This thing … Read More ›
Kawasaki Zephyr is an underappreciated classic (at least in some regions of the world). It looks nice. It is a proper tribute to a legendary Kawasaki Z1. Every single version is an inline four, air-cooled, twin cam. They even released a couple of series with spoked wheels. … Read More ›
I don’t know if it’s me changing the front or maybe the smell of Autumn on the horizon… but again – Scrambler build is featured. This time is not based on an enduro bike, but quite the opposite – on a very retro UJM – Kawasaki … Read More ›
Kawasaki Zephyr needs no introduction. Good looking neo-classic that evolved into a muscle bike: ZRX. Which in R version – that I own – has a lifetime with me. So I’m naturally sentimental regarding this particular line of Kawasaki naked bikes. This build, based on … Read More ›
Classic motoring enthusiasts know that the golden age of cars was the 60’s. It’s hard to disagree. It’s back then when Jaguar E-Type was born, or a cult classic pony-car Ford Mustang. In the motorcycle world, the golden era would be the next decade – … Read More ›
Kawasaki Zephyr. One of the most beautiful neo-classics out there. Often converted into a cafe racer… Not this time. This particular 1993 Zephyr 750 was modified into a brat by VTR Customs. This workshop is known for modifying BMW’s, Especially K-series (they were featured in … Read More ›
This build is quite unique for a couple of reasons. It’s not just about the turbocharging a stock KZ650. What just by itself would be an impressive restomod. This particular Kawasaki KZ650 was built by Ezio Covelli of Magnum Opus Custom Bikes from Wilmington, NC. … Read More ›
Today we’re back to basics. Slovenia located Krakenhead Customs rebuilt this beautiful retro Kawasaki KZ1000 J model from 1981 into a restomodded beauty. This build is definitely a vision above sticking to the rules or complying with any segment rules. It’s not a clean cafe … Read More ›
