In this video I explain how i made my Kawasaki Z1 1600 V8 using period photographs from 2001 and a few video clips including a few new clips made especially for this video. I have searched, but only have one very short clip of it running that was taken at the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show at Stafford in the UK. I rode the V8 around 3000 miles including trips to the Isle of Man TT, and rode it to many bike shows and events during the summer. The V8 is now on display at the Barber Vintage Motorsport museum in Birmingham Alabama USA.
