I think you are agreeing with me. That kwaker is a great bike but apart from the stylistic nods it has nothing in common with the 1970s z900. It has usd forks,monoshock rear,modern brakes,water cooling,modern 4-1 exhaust system and the frame is radically different. The 1970s z900 was a great engine surrounded by a dog of a bike in truth,hence the success of Rickman who built a stunning bike around that engine.
