Surrey Customs Z900RS
Discussion
I have no affiliation with Surrey Customs but figured it was only right to give them a public pat on the back and a huge thank you for pulling out all the stops in getting my bike painted in time and having to work late into the night.
Having met Gary at the Excel show on the Kawazaki stand and subsequently booked the paint work though Kawazaki Colchester he has been at the end of a text message keeping me in the loop with progress and pushing to get the parts painted and delivered back in time for the weekend.
So in short many thanks Surrey Customs, im very much looking forward to getting my new Akashi 900 RS

I'm confused. The bike in the pick clearly states it's a one off and won't be replicated.
Are they replicating it for you after they said they wouldn't or is the bike in the pic your actual bike in which case why are you waiting for it to be painted when it already is ????
Very nice bike either way.

The show bike apparently has a few extra markings on the tank that wont replicated but apart from that its identical

That, OP, is absolutely bloody lovely. And it's not often I say that. I could be massively tempted by one of those if I had the space for it!
Cheers guys i fell for the colour scheme as soon as a clapped eyes on it.There have been a few on the FB forums slating the colour saying its Honda not Kawazaki but im sure i spotted a post saying it was one of the original early 70's colours.
Im not fussed anyhow as i love it and its going nowhere.....hopefully !

But as you say it is not suitable nor does it come with the insurance that in the event of damage it will be repaired free of charge which the MotoGP branded product does come with. I have put it on every custom paint I have had and it has been brilliant and given the cost of rectifying say bird lime damage on a proper custom job like that well worth the investment.
Who know how it all pans out but I’m insuring it above the paint cost above standard bike price .I’ll not be leaving it unattended much either , it’s stunning !!

Do you have it now? Were you riding it today?
Spotted one today in Woking
Hi mate I got it around 5.30 last night and no the bike is in the Colchester area. Spotted one today in Woking
My god the paintwork is stunning even more so than in the pictures .
Weather was rubbish so I didn’t really venture out .
He’s a few pics although knowing my phone they will be at an angle !

Liked it a lot, less bulky, lighter than the ZRX and you seem to sit more on it than in it like the ZRX. Cracking paint jobs as well.
6 months ago i said i was done with biking after selling y last one 10yrs back and being hooked on cars.Im now bored to death of cars (largely because of the Porsche set banging on about values and not driving them) and after looking at all the brands and not being able to find something that suited me and i liked, i have properly fallen for the RS.
Weather was so pants all weekend i didnt get to play this weekend but the plan is a ride this Wednesday.
Also i couldnt be happier with the custom paint job and despite the additional cost im super pleased i did it. No regrets there.
It feels perfect to sit on, the clocks look great when im riding and it just has this great presence on the road. Plus i can ride it at legal speeds and enjoy it.
Its my bike for keeps......hopefully
