Kawasaki Other description

Just want to get this part out of the way ... I will not ship the bike (internationally or in US). I don't know how and don't want the responsibility of doing so. I am happy to meet up with you if you're local or deliver within 25 miles personally (once the funds clear), but please don't ask me to deliver. I'll drive it to a delivery place if its semi-local, but that's about it.


1975 Kawasaki Z1 900 for sale.

I have owned this bike for over 20 years and put it together myself (for the most part), but I never ride it anymore and it is just sitting. I want you to be comfortable with your purchase so I will do my best to explain everything in detail as best I can, the good and the bad, but please ask questions.

The good:

Starts right up and rides great. Pretty fast by 1975 standards.

Engine:

Entire top end has less than 5000 miles on it.

  • Weisco 1075 piston and ring kit
  • Cylinder was from a KZ1000 I believe
  • Webb "Hot Street" cams
  • 28mm Mikuni smoothbore carbs
  • Dyna electronic ignition (points conversion)
  • Dyna coils
  • HBE (Hot Bike Engineering - formerly Denco) exhaust.
  • Exhaust is ceramic coated silver color.
  • Oil cooler.

Frame/Chassis:

  • Corbin seat - not even broken into my butt
  • Frame is powder coated black
  • Lester wheels
  • Tires (forget brand) are in great shape still
  • Dual disk setup came off a 76 LTD.
  • Disks are pattern drilled
  • brake lines are new steel brained line with a smoke color coating
  • Master cylinder is new aftermarket
  • Handlebars are lower drag style
  • New grips, mirrors, headlight cover and polished aluminum handlebar cover
  • Gauges have custom faceplate I made (see more in the not so good part below)
  • Forks have progressive springs and the fork seals and oil have less than 5k miles
  • Polished rear swing arm is off a Suzuki GS1100 and so are shocks.
  • Fenderless rear bracket for light and license plate (I made it)
  • Inside of gas tank is ceramic coated
  • Pingle fuel petcock
  • new battery (forget brand .. from Pep Boys last year)

The not so perfect ... :

  • Tach and speedo gauges are jumpy. I think I forgot a washer or something when I put on the faceplate stickers. the gauges bounce around.
  • Tach and speedo gauge lights aren't bright. I tried to put in blue LEDs bulbs but dint think it through properly and the light is blocked by the stickers I put on. you can see it, but not as bright as it should be.
  • Sprockets are geared for more low end. I forget the tooth sizes of them but I remember thinking I wanted it fast off the line. in retrospect, I should have geared it a little better for highway cruising. It isn't horrible, just revving higher than I would like for doing 70 on the highway.
  • Oil leak from stator housing. I tried fixing this and must be doing something wrong. It's a brand new rubber grommet for stator wires and new gasket and it still leaks. I am sure I just did something wrong.

 That's all I can think of that is wrong with it. Please ask questions and make sure you're are comfortable before bidding. Like I said, I want you to know what you're getting and feel good about it. I have owned this bike forever and have mixed feelings about letting it go. would love for it to go to a good home.

Jeremy Toye Wins 92nd Running Of Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

Prior to setting foot on the hill, Toye was confident he could get among the class leaders, aiming to beat the outright Pikes Peak motorcycle record, which was set by Carlin Dunne in 2012 with a time of 9:52.819.
