Classic look of the Kwak "Z" with a Bandit 1200 engine..

What's Kawasaki on the bike?
I see tank, tail piece, side covers, passenger hand rail.
Anyone see anything else?

I like the styling, it is from the era when bikes first attracted my attention.

Fortunately we now have machines that go round corners and stop quicker, this looks like he best of both worlds.

There seems to be a retro revival bubbling at the moment with the arrival of the new Z900 and images of a Z1300 concept bike, I wonder what else we will get from the other manufacturers?

I'm with you Pete
I grew up looking at z900 gs1000 ECT
I hope Suzuki see there is still a market for this kind of bike and bring out something to finally fill the gap left by the gsx1400.
:cheers:

The frame? It's certainly not a Bandit one.
Would also explain the gap behind the motor,
the same as putting oil cooled GSXR's and Bandit motors into Old Skool GSX's and Katana's.
