This is one of the bikes from the films – Warner Brothers are coming to see the bike after we have done the work needed!

CHiPs

The motorcycles most commonly refer to the iconic Kawasaki KZP series—notably the KZ900 and KZ1000—used by the California Highway Patrol in the hugely popular 1977–1983 TV series. These bikes became instantly recognizable thanks to their distinctive police fairings and powerful inline-four engines.

While the 2017 CHiPs movie reboot featured modern BMW and Ducati machines, it was the Kawasaki models that truly became synonymous with the show, law enforcement, and high-speed freeway riding. In particular, the KZ1000P stands today as a legendary police-spec motorcycle.

Original TV Series (1977–1983):

• Kawasaki Z1-P & Z900-C2 – Used during the first two seasons

• Kawasaki KZ1000-C1 & KZ1000P – Main bikes from Season 3 onward, closely mirroring real CHP service motorcycles

This one’s in for a few bits and bobs to get her fully up to scratch – just in time for a VIP visit with Warner Brothers .
