An iconic, classic Kawasaki and the most collectible of them all. Do not confuse this motorcycle with the other 1972 Kawasaki Z1 900s on the market. This particular classic Kawasaki is completely different and exceptionally rare.
First days of production 3 digit 1972 Kawasaki Z900 (Z1) -
Frame #148 - Full Chassis Number Z1F00148
The very early bikes were all delivered to Germany. They had fixed foot pegs, different rear shocks and a longer rear fender - all included on this bike.
Front to back: factory twin disc setup, correct forks, restored instruments with correct graphics, original keys. Original levers, controls and handgrips. Replica newly painted fuel tank,- unrestored very good condition fuel tank also available by negotiation along with original bodywork. Engine completely rebuilt with carb balance tubes cast into head as per very early Z900. Original 1972 non buttressed carbs, original functioning chain oiler, tool pouch with feeler gauge, rear tray and owner's manuel. Replica exact match exhaust.
As the Baby Boomers hit their sixties, they are redefining the parameters of collectable motorcycles. Not so long ago the staple classic bike was a 1960s British parallel twin, but as fewer motorcyclists remember the thrills of kick starting and oil leaks, the goalposts have now moved to the next decade. This decade really began in 1969, a pivotal year for motorcycling.
A proper investment grade restoration of the highest quality by a leading authority on these super rare Kawasaki motorcycles. All components have the correct coded August 1972 production date stamps, making the investment blue chip. It is unimaginable to find one restored to this standard. The classic motorcycle market is very hungry for such a machine and prices are rising very quickly. This is what you call a very intelligent investment and you money will be safe on this machine.
This combination of performance with general ease of use, electric start and overall reliability, put an even larger nail in the coffin of British motorcycling than Honda had managed with the CB750. Distinguished by a black highlighted engine and “Jaffa” black and orange colours, thousands of Z1s were sold in 1973. Ordinary people, who just happened to like terribly fast motorcycles, rode them on the street.
