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 1960s. In the early 1970s, 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. Finally released in 1973, with its DOHC 900cc engine offering a top speed of over 130mph, it easily became the fastest mass-produced bike in the world. This started a long tradition of high-performance Kawasakis, with the launch of the GPz600 in 1985 ushering in the 600 sports bike bracket and the updated ZZR600 appearing a few years later.
This ZZR600, being offered at without a reserve, is presented in mostly original trim and still fitted with its original Kawasaki 'KHI K 302' stamped four-into-two exhaust system with aftermarket stainless steel downpipes. Owned by the vendor since 1996, it has not been ridden or run for a while, so it will need recommissioning before use and comes fitted with a rear carrier, some old MOTs and a current V5C.
