Kawasaki Heavy Industries is one of the largest corporations in Japan, producing a wide range of products from rolling stock to ships. After taking over the ailing Meguro Motorcycle Company they began manufacturing motorcycles under the Kawasaki name in the early 1960s, first continuing development of the K1 BSA A10 copy, but soon moving on to build a reputation for high-performance 2-stroke twins and triples. In the early ‘70s, the four-stroke four-cylinder Z1 was launched, setting a new benchmark for superbike performance, offering a top speed of over 130mph. Its successor, the water-cooled GPZ900 continued this trend, being the first mass-produced bike to top 150mph.

This later GPZ900 has been part of a small private collection for a number of years. Unfortunately, it has not run for a while due to ill health, therefore it will need recommissioning before use. The bike is fitted with a Yoshimura exhaust system and there is a Dyno chart and invoice, dating from 2001, showing the bike having been set up by Hobbsport Racing. It also comes fitted with a neat handlebar riser kit and a sports rear carrier as well as a few old MOTs, receipts and the Dyno chart, and the V5C.
