Kawasaki Other description

This is a 75 z1 with an ATP turbo pack kit that has a 1015 turbo piston kit, welded crank, under cut trans, four angle valve job, stock cams, barnett clutch pack and a 42 mm flatslide Mikuni carb.The bike was built years ago and sat for some time, I did spend some time on this bike over the winter and installed a stock front end with new fork seals, fluid and dust covers and installed the correct swing arm as the bike was lowered and stretched inches.I also upgraded the ignition, coils and wires to the dyna 2000 ignition and matching coils and wires.Also added a rare set of Akront rims made in Spain, eighteen rear and 19in front with stainless spokes and new set of bridgestone tires, very nice set of aluminum rims.New APE chain tensioner, grips, handle bars, new fuel pump and regulator and a new set of plugs.It is missing the seat latch and lock but I will include the latch and may have the correct matching lock that will go with it. The motor and exhaust have been ceramic coated and the frame and all the painted parts have been powdercoated and the frame has not been motified in any way.It still retains the original bodywork thats in decent shape for its age, the inside of the tank is spotless no rust and has a bb size ding on the left side.The fenders are in decent shape and the chrome and aluminum through out the entire bike are good to terrific condition and all the electrical works as it should.The original switchblocks are in good shape.The bike has 9446 original miles on it and less than k on it since it was built.The engine is a matching with a vin of Z1E064516.The bike has a clean title. I did start the bike for the 1st time this year the other day and took it for a short ride, this bike is very fast and rumbles like something you have never heard, it just sounds sick.The motor runs very quite and the bike does not smoke or leak.Tons of money went into this bike and it is 1 of the nicest looking and sounding z1s you will ever see its a head turner!I was going to set up the dual front brake set up on it so it does have the rotor and brake line bracket installed already.

Interesting motorcycles you probably didn't see1 of 11Next Last There’s no cave deep, mountain high or rock heavy enough to have thwarted news of Ducati’s 1199 Panigale superbike launch at the 2012 EICMA show in Milan, Italy. And a few models such as Honda’s NC700S and X, Kawasaki’s Versys 1000 and CRP’s Energica were unveiled without heavy prior fanfare, but gasps of surprise weren’t heard when the wraps were taken off Triumph’s Tiger 1200 Explorer, Husqvarna’s Nuda or MV Augusta’s F3 675 among others, whose existences were revealed months in advance of the show. What we’ve comprised below is our list Top 10 Bikes unveiled at EICMA that didn’t receive top billing but are certainly worthy of your attention.

Simon and Leo

If you are a track day regular this year, you may well have bumped into former racer and friendly Kiwi, Simon Crafar. I first met him in Malaysia in 1990 when he was riding for a Yamaha dealer team, sweating his way round circuits like Shah Alam and Johor Bahru but with a long term plan to make it onto the World scene. And he didn’t take long as after riding for Honda in the UK in 1992 he moved to WSB in 1994 and enjoyed success with both the Honda and Kawasaki factory teams.
