Falling Skies - bikes they use

So, erm, I watch this Sci-fi show called Falling Skies...in season one they make use of motos to do scouting...

In the season 2 premiere there is a scene where 2 characters roll in on a moto (about 37 minutes in) and it really looks to me to be a classic KZ - same rims and lower fork braces as my KZ1100.

Just some lolz, every 4 cylinder classic bike is, in my mind, a Kawi until I see otherwise. #blindedbythelight right?
I honestly don't know how fast I was going, officer; My speedo tops out at 85...

My bad; in a previous scene it is clearly a Yamaha of dubious vintage. How dare I confuse the heritage if my beloved KZ with a Yamaha...lol

Gets me thinking; beside the old CHiPs, any other films/tv series that use the KZ? TRIVIA TIME!!

Cobra, Stallone movie, 1st scene has blue Z1R. Pretty cool. B) Chain reaction, another movie with an old Kaw in it.

Arnold rode a KZ in the original Terminator. He switched to Harleys in the next ones.

I have been trying to find out if that is a Z1 or a CB750 that Arnold is riding during the tunnel chase scene in the orignal Terminator with no luck so far.
I've heard it was a CB but no one can say for sure. It's a mystery.

You want a movie with Z1's and KZ's in it? Have a look at Z1: The Movie

That crappy movie with Keanu "I know Kung Fu" Reeves, Chain Reaction.

Also, Wikipedia seems to have a list of some movies en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Kz1000
