I think the new one says you got another thing comin' just something for the classic kz owners to look into when the museum comes and buys them.

in the z1 community it generally accepted that the original design stopped in 83/84 when bikes were made watercooled i believe they became more complicated in other ways too,but not being a mechanic i cant go into detail. i know for me the original z1 stopped at the m11, the j model came after and i believe was more complicated a set up. my 2c

most modern bikes are water pumpers besides the cruisers some cb's and katana's of a certain variety. I cant do that much research and retain it all.



bear in mind the "naked bike thing" it has going on.

When you can buy a new street bike that can run 9:30s in the quarter, right off the showroom floor, it's pretty obvious that if you want to run with the big dogs, you gotta run liquid cooled.

Regarding Performance/technology, well really isn't a comparison. New designs blow the old school away. Sorry but true.

Regarding looks/coolness, hell old school rules with out a doubt.

Besides, new designs look like transformers... :pinch:
