Kawasaki Daytona Superbike 1980

Kawasaki "Fast Company" video features race video of Kawasaki premiering the 1980 KZ1000J Superbike at Daytona with rider Eddie Lawson and tech Rob Muzzy. This was the last video in the series for the Good Times Theatre.

This is one segment from the restored video player " Kawasaki Good Times Theatre". The Good Times Theatre video players were used at Kawasaki dealerships in the 1970's for customer viewing on the showrooms.

This restored video features great Kawasaki moments from the mid to late 1970's. Audio quality on the restored video is fair, but clearly understandable. This is a great piece of Motorcycle History. Hope you enjoy it.

I love the old kawasaki Zs, u must know I'm 18 and will always prefer such a retrobike to a brandnew R1 or Ducati...also because in Germany the old kawas are allowed to be up to 110 db loud...louder than any tuned r1^^

my father told me that his mother back in the late 70s could hear him half a mile away, when he returned from work, and could set up some coffee :)

thats just a horny ride...hope i'll own one in several years, will put on a loud 4 in 1 and blast off every wannabe racer on the road

those were true riders and fighters, nowadays... motorcycles drive almost on their own...

I had an 83 ELR w/82 bodywork, and i built it just like Eddie's. It brings back memories of the real superbikes!

If this narrator would speed the hell up, this film could be done in 4 minutes.
