Kawasaki Other description
Up for action is the 182nd KZ1000 produced
in July of 1976, it's a 1977. It's VIN is KZT00A-000282, the first
produced in 1976 being KZT00A-000101 (sourced from Kawasaki) and the
engine number is KZT00A-000296 (original and correct stagger for this
bike). This bike has been repainted (due to clear coat failure in the
Florida sun) black back in the early 90s, it's original color was maroon
as can still be seen as over spray under the gas tank, side covers, and
tail piece. Originally purchased out of California and fitted with the
Vetter touring kit (by the dealership) and around 1980 purchased from
the original owner by my uncle after I located it for him. He toured
with it occasionally and eventually upgraded to an 1986 Gold Wing and
then is when I finally acquired her (as was the agreement when I found
it for him initially). I removed the crash bar, fairing, and luggage
rack as soon as I got her putting it back to it's stock configuration.
This bike has never been laid down as is evidenced by it's original hand
grips, foot pegs, and all undercarriage components. This bike stayed in
my possession ever since even residing in my living room for 12 years
as to keep her safe and sound. This KZ has never had any major issues or
work, a true and original survivor! And a survivor she is never
restored, just maintained and cleaned up for your consideration. She
starts right up and runs great, shifts great, and brakes well. The turn
signals were modified with dual element bulbs and wiring to run as
running lights for safety and that's the most significant modification
that I can think of. Some of the original parts were replaced through
the years but all were kept and put back on her now.
I am admittedly biased but in my opinion this bike deserves to be in a
museum or private collection somewhere in preservation for future
generations to enjoy.
I have recently
turned her over to my friend Jack and he has cleaned her up and listed
her for auction here. We are expecting a good response as for the
original condition and the extremely low production number so there is a
substantial reserve on this auction. If she doesn't meet the reserve
and sell this time, I may purchase her myself, adding her back to my
collection or possibly we'll re list her here in a few weeks and see if
the if she sells??? So make sure and tell the KZ fanatics in your
worlds!
Note: Bike is for sale locally too,I am currently entertaining all offers I find reasonable by email. The KZ is a true survivor and very correct! shown with a 78 ltd seat,strictly on the bike for comfort only! I have a fresh reproduction seat on order from Z1 Enterprises,and it will be on the bike when it is sold. It is the buyers responsibility to supply any shipping needed once a deal is made. There are lots of motorcycle shippers out there! so do your homework! I will assist as much as I can,and store the motorcycle as long as needed!The KZ1000 currently has 26,277 original miles! and through out its life the odometer cable has been replaced,and never ridden ,without replacing it! so I can say this is the original mileage! The Bike runs strong!all fluids changed,tank has been flushed a few times,carbs re-built,with two new filters & fuel lines ,valves adjusted,and four new NGK spark plugs. The points have been up-dated to electronic ignition,mainly for reliability!coils are original. The engine runs great! They say the first 300 bikes assembled in the Japanese plants are always given special attention! and I believe that statement to be true, with the way this engine sounds! other KZs I have owned,you always hear the primary chain a little,this one is like its non-existent!any way you get the idea it runs good! it also has an up dated gel battery,I am currently using ethanol free fuel to avoid future carb issues! a new o-ring chain was installed too. The front tire is new, the rear tire will be needing a replacement down the road.The 77 KZ is ready for a new owner! and ready to ride!
I have done my best to give a complete and
accurate description but know that I have not covered everything, so
PLEASE feel free to ask any and all questions before bidding. Thanks for
checking out this auction!!!

Deus Ex Machina, the surf/moto shop known for creating throwback, one-of-a-kind motorcycles, has released its latest work of art, the TT800. Paying tribute to the highly successful Triumph factory TT machines from the mid-1960s, Deus’ expert builder, Michael Woolaway, created the TT800 for a customer requesting a new, old Triumph. It sources a Kawasaki W650 bored out to 800cc with CR carbs, a custom TT inspired exhaust, custom chromoly racing frame, re-valved Öhlins forks, and a custom gusseted swing arm for more stability. A Beringer six-piston caliper front brake provides stopping power.
