This fine old 1980 Kawasaki KZ1000B4 LTD Factory Custom Muscle bike has recently been imported from North America where it has spent all its life – the air is thin and the climate is far kinder to motorcycles than ours. This and the fact it's only showing 27446 miles and has been in dry storage for the last umpteen years have helped maintain its boyish good looks.

As you can see this bike is not complete missing the l/h side panel. center stand. airbox assy. lights Hi/Lo knob off r/h switch & ball end off front brakle lever. It has obviously stood a while so the battery is flat & master cylinders aren't working. Checkout the velvet seat cover!

The wheels are straight with nice clean alloy. Forks & yokes look straight with good chrome. Mudguards are both solid & are tidy. Tail light assy is good as are the headlight & hangers. Instruments & switches look ok. Carburetors are free sliding off the twist grip. Seat base is in very good condition throughout. Shock absorbers are damping fine.
The engine is cosmetically clean. it turns over nicely off the kick starter – sounds/feels great & has compression – When we hooked it up to a good battery & fed it a few squirts of ether it fires & tries to start & run but it. obvious the carbs need attention.

The bike is currently unregistered. The registration process is reasonably uncomplicated. We HAVE NOT got the Certificate of Title but we will provide proof that VAT & Duty is paid on the NOVA system.
