Hi again:

Sometimes bikes take its time to be built and sometimes they come together. Just now we finished the rebuilt of the Big Z, Macco Nº1, and here you have the new BIG Z RACER. We know you featured our Dusty Pearl recently but things are so and we want to show the Big Z Racer to the rest of the world, so it´s up to you when you want to do it. Thanks anyway for sharing.

KAWASAKI Z1100 ST: MACCO Nº4

BIG Z RACER

Fate brought home again the Macco Nº1. Sandro, the previous owner had a little scare in her, so he was told at home no more bikes. Sad for Sandro but happy to get back the Big Z at the garage again.

So we decided that the time of the Big Z had already passed and thought to make a completely new bike, on the same base, in the same spirit, but with a new look and a new style. The idea of a cafe racer was always in our plans, so this baby was born: the BIG Z RACER.

Sober colors, gray matte chosen from the Ducati´s colour chart, and black, as well as many improvements as new handlebars, new floating brake discs, new seat, K&N filters, new grips Beston style black, new lights, new exhausts, new side panels and side number plates, make this Kawasaki Z1100 ST’s MACCO No. 4.

And, by now, it´s for sale!

The Kawasaki response to the CB750.  And what a response it was!

Oh to have been born ten years sooner.  Glorious days for motorcycles..  Especially when you think of what was going on in factories from Ducati and Suzuki… sigh

Cool inset crop..

Costas Tsabunaris sends in this beauty! The message was brief. I’m not positive but I’m guessing it’s a replica of the 1997 Akira Yanagawa World Superbike. Costas fill us in if you get a chance.

Thanks!
