Just placed my hard earned down on a deposit for one of these.

Now to find a Titanium 4 into 1 race pipe for it.

A bit nostalgic for me as I learnt to ride on a original Z900

Delivery late Feb/early March 2018

I think 900's or similar used on the OZ movie Stone

Nice one Lofty, I'll be interested in your review when it turns up.
Have they finalised pricing yet ?

Bolton's Adelaide, 1976  New, 900 Kawasaki with Bikini Fairing for $1850.

Good one Lofty. I look forward to hearing how ya find it. Jap made Yoshi or a Akra pipe? Not sure if Kerker still around.

Retro-mod Z1, this is the bike they should have made

If that’s true, it’s promising. I’ve always thought Kwaka’s were good value for money, but harboured some doubt that if it was circa $12-14,000 it could be disappointing.

And do you know . I saw a few riders in the then main street of Adelaide one night, Now Rundle Mall,  in 1974 and one dude was excusing himself all over his new 900. 

Pauly, the Zephyr was nothing more than a commuter and its looks were nothing on this. I agree about it not being a big seller. I read a review on Rideapart that was very complimentary of the base version, which I’d expect will be a consistent view.

I should have been more polite then (and observant). Ha. My mistake.

I'll also be keeping an eye out for this on arrival in Perth WA.

One of the Perth Kawasaki dealers is only 5 K's from my house , so well handy.

With respect to the Zephyr 1100 of the early 90's ,back in Scotland a mate of mine bought one new and stored it at my workplace

Business was alarmed up the wazoo ! so I got to ride it.

It rode EXACTLY like my 1976 Z900 ( which it was probably supposed to ). Bland bland colours tho'...

So the Glasgow Kawasaki dealer painted a number of them in 1974/5 Z1B colours , using a brand new Z1B tailpiece from yours truly to colour match

They also painted a few in "Jaffa" colours around the same time. Trouble is all the boys wanted Yamaha R1's etc etc and they faded away fairly quickly

I don't think I've seen a Zephyr 1100 here in Perth in the last 22 years , BAZILLIONS of Harley's tho' haha...

Had a look at the new Z900rs great  looking bike except for way they have set up the rear suspension big gap between the tyre and guard. Trouble for me owning a bike like this is seat height for my short arse legs there is a low seat that can be fitted but I guess it will come at a cost. Looking forward to seeing the café racer model in person but at $18000 the jury is still out for me but would I own one at a  better price the big answer is YES.

$18,100 "on the road" in the UK for the "Jaffa" version. Sounds same same to me !

$11.200 USD in the US , translates to $15,000 AUD !

Now where have we seen that before ???

Sadly it was NEVER gunna be $12500 Aussie dollars folks , wishful thinking !

Still waiting for mine, 6-8 weeks away

There were 4 of them brand new and registered at Gepps Cross Kawasaki, all getting picked up today

These are a lovely bike, I reckon. 

Mate, I don’t see the point in a manufacturer making a decent looking exhaust. I’d rather they save the $$ and invest it elsewhere on the bike. I’m gonna ditch the original anyways; plenty others like me too.
