  • 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.

    Loved my standard '78. Rode that bike well into the 80s.

    I had a 1975 KZ 400 in the mid 80’s. I was nice and drove in in Iowa ,Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas. Dependable for the most part except the charging system. It left me stranded twice. I also had a 1980 KZ 440 LTD belt drive and was a lot more dependable but very cold blooded.

    I have a 1978 kz200 and have been looking for a kz400 for a while now. This video is hilarious.

    I'm working on a 77 KZ400 right now. It's the stripped down "special" model and a joy to work on except for the notorious top end oil seepage. Funny how this commerical featured the Honda CB350 - a popular bike which the KZ400 was designed to compete with.

      100% Norton man now but I had new Z 400's in 77 and again in 78. Apart from rotting silencers they were really good machines. I had an oil weep from the gear change leaver on the new 78 model (Had to have the engine out under warranty) but otherwise oil tight. Brought back memories...

    My first bike was a KZ400 it was a great beginer bike with only 34hp and handling like a shwinn you could'nt go wrong. Two years later I upgraded to a 750 Honda but that's another story.

    My first bike back then. Put on many miles in Alaska and New Mexico. Never let me down. Hopefully, it's still out there somewhere giving its new owner even more fun.

    So amusing, it sure was a different world back then. I wonder why only the USA seems to have had a choice of versions there, as I recall in the UK anyway we got just the standard version.
