Could be just me but this bike sounds way better than those newer bikes! What a beauty an absolute work of art!

The sound of Zs, KZs, LTDs just make something feeling different in my pants!!! that sound... Those lines of old Kawies are fantastic, true classic!

[tonyrappa]

That could be the best sounding bike I've ever heard

My first big bike was a KZ900, the 1k came out the following year. That bike was awesome until an old man in a Crown Victoria pulled out making a left turn in front of me. Had just started raining and I only had time to lock up the brakes. I hit the rear quarter, the impact snapped my femur and threw me over the trunk about 50 feet. I was running about 35-40 but it totaled the bike. The impact disintegrated the outside shell of my full coverage helmet, but I didn't even have a headache from it. I didn't ride again for a long time after that. Now I'm cruising on an Indian Springfield with stage 2 upgrades and TABs and having a blast!

That bike just scares me. Probably because my dad's friend gave me a ride on the back of one when I was like 16 on one wheel! That bike can keep up with modern sport bikes for the most part!

When I was a kid, my neighbor used to ride his KZ1000 with his twin brother (KZ900) late at night. Those bikes were so loud, you could hear them from over 5 miles away. I'll never forget that sound. Beautiful bikes.

This was the bike of my dreams! The bike that I would get when I "grew up". The baddest looking streetbike at the Kawasaki dealership in 1978 when I was 11yrs old. (the one with the mag wheels and the sexy look!) It is a very fond memory of mine, that day, by total surprise, getting my first bike, the massive 78 KE100! I remember seeing that LTD sitting in the showroom though.
**ten years later, my first streetbike, ending up being a beautiful black 81 XS1100 Special....and later an 83 V65Magna. I absolutely loved those bikes! I started on the street, sort of maxing out in a way. I still would love to have that LTD!

This is my dream bike. As a 20 year old suffering from the depressing modern age. I dream of owning one of these rocking a retro look picking up babes. There is nothing cooler than a ripped dude on a kz1000 slicked back hair, aviator sunglasses and beautiful women holding on for dear life to the epic manly rider hauling ass down the road with the furious sound of the bike roaring. I envy my parents. I really do, they had it made in the 80s.

Beautiful Beast, with the exhaust note, that lifetime motorcycle lovers want to hear, that were born in the 70's, even, to this day. Love it, and she's quick.

[EvokDubstep]

[Snake.coyote]

[michaelreed]

I owned this bike. Thing was bullet proof. I drove it hard more than i should have....it didnt miss a beat. About pissed myself when i found this video. Great bike in great days

[propdoctor]

What a beautiful machine. I love these old LTDs and actually had two of them back in the 1980s. One was a 1978 and the other one was a 1980 which had my favorite paint scheme where the two-tone inlays were metallic silver which looked great on the black base.
