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 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 became the benchmark for superbike performance with its DOHC 900cc engine offering a top speed of over 130mph, it easily became the fastest mass-produced bike at the time. A full range of 4 cylinder models from 400cc to 1100cc followed, with the shaft drive GT models becoming a favourite with despatch riders due to their long term reliability.
This GT550 is presented in standard trim having had some restoration work in the past. The GT was the dispatch riders favourite so not many have survived like this one, even down to its standard exhaust system. Part of a private collection it is now being moved on to make space in the garage. It will need recommissioning and a new battery before use and comes supplied with a couple of old MOTs and a current V5C.
