Following the success of the original Z1000, Kawasaki developed the ‘Z1-R’ as a new top model that would set new standards in design and performance. This embellished version of the Z1000 motorcycle, had a fixed half-shell fairing was only available with a Metallic Stardust Silver paint. Although the design was well-received from potential buyers, sales remained unsatisfactory. Readers of the German Motorrad magazine selected the Z1-R as their Motorcycle of the Year for 1977.

A beautiful, rare and very well presented Kawasaki Z1R, it was partially restored to a very high standard by the late vendor. We have been advised the Z1R was running earlier this year and everything was working as it should. Offered complete with its V5C, some receipts and with its kickstart and handbook under the seat.

Restoration work was completed in 2016, however, the was not rebuilt but cleaned and painted and the carburettors stripped and rebuilt. The frame was stripped to bare metal and also painted. Additional work has included the rechroming of the header pipes, wheels blasted and repainted, but leaving spoke sides as original unpainted. Tank, panels, forks and rear suspension area as left by the previous owner. There is a small crack in speedometer glass.

The last MOT in 2013 shows 37,481 miles. Now showing 37,496 miles with 2 former keepers and 2 original keys, the engine runs, however, the bike has not been ridden since the rebuild.
