After taking over the ailing Meguro Motorcycle Company Kawasaki began manufacturing motorcycles under the Kawaski name in the early sixties, 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 initially developed as a 750cc to compete with the new Honda SOHC 750 but Kawasaki held the bike back until it could be increased in capacity to set a new benchmark for superbike performance. With its DOHC 900cc engine offering a top speed of over 130mph it easily became the fastest mass-produced bike in the world. The Z1000 launched in 1977 added another 9 BHP with heavier flywheels to smooth-out vibration.

This 1977 Kawasaki was purchased by the late vendor to rekindle his youth and love for the Kawasaki Z1000. It was purchased by him around 6 years ago with another Z1000 and has been used sparingly in his ownership. It was previously restored by the previous owner to a ‘good’ standard. Showing some signs of use since completion, some light recommissioning may be required before use, but the machine has been started recently and ran okay at the time. There’s a workshop manual and a current V5C for the machine is on file.
