Description
This is my 1975 Kawasaki Z1B that I have owned since August 2012. It is a genuine UK model and I have verified that it has the correct frame and engine numbers that are commensurate with a Z1B. I shouldn't really even contemplate selling this lovely bike but its hardly been used (see tax disc of 2013) so here goes. 40. 00 miles recorded – not a clue if its original as the bike is nearly 40. Paintwork is absolutely stunning. frame is very good and the general state of the bike is very good. Its not a concourse show queen but a bike that has been used. Start easily. revs freely and doesn't rattle or smoke. Exhaust are the genuine items but there is a slight hole in the top right (see picture) which has been patched with steel weld (or something similar). it has the owners manual. tool tray and tools present. Twin disc model. Brakes are fine. tyres were new when I got it and everything works. Gears. clutch etc. all work as they should. Electrics have not been hacked about and appear to be original. The only real disappointment is that the engine has been painted black at some stage which I believe was common to do in the 80s. Bike has been started regularly and driven up and down the drive so it runs well. I had really planned to go to town on this bike and turn her into a top notch machine but a recent house build has prevented me doing so and I'm a few years off spending nights in the garage – plus I now have a new bike on the way so need to be realistic. Its really difficult to describe “truthfully” a classic as one person's excellent is not necessarily anothers. That said. I would suggest I am more critical than most. Take a look at the pictures and make your own mind up. Better still. come and have a look. Feel free to email any questions you may have.
