Blast from the past! Vintage Kawasaki video.

I love these old bike commercials, especially these types that were shown in dealer showrooms.

"Kawsaki has the bike for you, and the price tag ain't gonna turn you blue"
Did you see dude's boots as he snicked it in to first gear? I want a pair!

They were nice bikes for the time

Indeed Dave, the thing that got me started down this worm hole was, I saw a pack of hipsters riding old cafe racers today. One of them was a cafe'd KZ400 and it just looked so right, with the slim design and cafe lines...kid riding it couldn't have been more than 25. This old man was a bit envious!

I remember the first one we saw back them we were all around it admiring the cool look it had

Thanks, Dan. Good post; I enjoyed that video. Brought back memories.

My question is why does he look like he is SNEAKING out of the house and where does the second helmet he is carrying (and the camera for that matter) go once he takes off on the bike......and WHY is there a 1950's era car in front of the house he just crept out of like a serial killer .......oh the questions.......the questions........I need a nap or something.....

I do like the boots though GRRR8 very nice.

I was also thinking about the helmet and then he goes and give it to his girl friend after it has been on an unknowns head. That other guy could have had all sorts of nasties in his hair
