AC Sanctuary’s MKII Missile…
In 1979, Kawasaki launched the KZ1000 MKII, which supplied new angular styling and a slight energy increase out of the 1015cc DOHC inline 4 engine, now making 93 bhp. The crank had been rebalanced with bigger journals, the cams had been fiercer, and carbs had been up 28mm. Two Wheels journal was capable of hammer off a quarter-mile time of 12.1 seconds on interval tires, and hit a high pace of 135 mph.
What’s extra, the double-walled body tubing across the steering head had tidied up the dealing with, although the Mark II nonetheless didn’t carry out in addition to the interval Suzuki GS1100, which had air forks and shocks.
“The Z1000 Mark Two is a lusty performer regardless, missing not one of the really feel of the grunty mid-range efficiency anticipated from an enormous roadster 4 — it’s simply that different Japanese one-litre bikes can do fractionally higher even when it’s unattainable to select in a seat-of-the-pants analysis.” –Two Wheels, 1979
This KZ1000 MKII is the work of Japanese grasp Hiroyuki Nakamura of AC Sanctuary, who’s been turning out a few of the baddest restomods on the planet since he opened his store within the Nineteen Nineties. This one was constructed for one fortunate proprietor — fortunate sufficient to personal a number of AC Sanctuary RCM (Radical Customized Manufacture) builds! Says Nakamura:
“It’s proof that you simply’ll like your RCM, and it’s an important pleasure to have the ability to produce one other one for this proprietor.”
The body has acquired RCM’s Stage-II reinforcement and alignment, setting it up for twin 17-inch OZ Racing wheels, Öhlins suspension, Sculpture braced swingarm, and Brembo brakes.

All in all, that is one monster MKII, and we’re greater than a bit jealous of the proprietor!

Lately, the variety of house owners who personal a number of RCMs has elevated — the proprietor of this machine additionally owns an RCM-540 Ninja Kind-R and two of the RCM-376 KZ900 fashions. So we added this RCM-596 KZ1000MK-II this time.

It has a ST-II bolstered body made for 17-inch wheels, together with OZ Racing wheels, Öhlins suspension, Italian Brembo brakes, and first-class merchandise. The swingarm and stem that join them are RCM’s unique model SCULPTURE.
