Man, this is so cool. Love the exhaust pipes – very similar to the ones on the House Rockers’ CB750. In fact Kouga and House Rockers share similar design themes. This Kawasaki looks like a good handler thanks to the high mounted XJR swingarm and modern forks. I’d love to take this bike through a few canyon roads.

I had a 750Z2 that I bought while stationed in Okinawa in the 70′s. The way I understood it, it was a Z1, but sleeved down to a 750. This was because Japanese laws didn’t allow anything greater than 750 at the time, hence no Z1s.

It looks like it cut itself shaving in the third photo.

Are you forgetting the Zephyr series? They were available in 550,750 and 1100 sizes in the early 90′s. Very similar to what you see here, even air cooled. Nobody bought them, at least not in the states.

Sensational!
The big K did try and go back to its roots with the ZRX in order to battle the XJR/GSX/CB13, albeit in a lot more modern than retro fashion (still a fantastic bike tho).
But yes, a great big, ludicrously fast, naked muscle bike with that trademark 70′s duck tail would be a wonderful idea. Especially in Oz where the Classic Kwaka fans are, well… insanely passionate.
