Kawasaki Other description

Up for auction is a 1982 Kawasaki GPZ750 also known as the KZ750R1.  The bike has not been ridden in several years and is not currently in rideable condition.  Recently, I installed the carbs and airbox from a running 2000 ZR750.  The engine turns over and it ran at a very high idle when the carbs were installed a few months ago.  Since then I have done no work to the bike and now I must sell to consolidate my toys.  There will need to be minor modification done to the airbox to run this setup.  Also, the brakes will need to be gone through as there is no pressure in the system.  

The overall condition of this bike is fair for its age.  The paint is decent, but does have some flaws, worst of which is a small dent in the top corner of the gas tank(see picture).  It has fairly new tires and the windscreen is almost new.  The electrical has been gone over and everything appears to work except the clutch safety switch was broken(wires are connected to bypass).  There is one small split seam(about 1.5") in the seat, but should be fixable before it gets out of hand.  The paint on the frame and engine is fading and scratched in places.    

Many of the original parts(inner fender, reflectors, shocks, carbs(disassembled) etc.) are included with the bike.  Also, I have some extra parts(fender, fairing, side panels, etc.) that will be included in the sale.  An ELR replica decal set and a project seat with ELR seat cover are also included.

This is a project bike that would be great for restoration, or a decent rider with some work.  Buyer is responsible for pickup in person and I cannot offer services to help deliver.  A $200 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of auction end.  Please feel free to ask any questions prior to bidding and I urge interested parties to schedule a viewing of the bike if they have the means.

Thanks

Report: Dorna to Replace Superstock Classes with More Stock-Inspired WSBK and New 250cc Class

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

The coming World Superbike racing season may be the last to feature Superstock classes as series promoter Dorna tries to differentiate its WSBK and MotoGP properties. According to Italian outlet Motosprint, Dorna plans to rewrite the World Superbike and Supersport class rulebooks for the 2014 season to make the race bikes closer to their respective production models. This would create further separation between WSBK and MotoGP, with Superbike racing moving closer to its production-based roots while prototypes racing in the GP series.

Wrestling the Green Meanie

Tue, 03 Aug 2010

A three cylinder, 750cc two-stroke contained in a double cradle, tubular frame with telescopic suspension made up the intimidating Kawasaki KR750, seen here ridden around the legendary Spa circuit. Remembering the KR750, named the 'Green Meanie', TT winner Mick Grant said: "The KR750 was not as bad as what people thought it was. It had a nice spread, with enormous power and mid-range torque.

2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300 Recalled for ABS Modulator Issue

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

As we expected, a manufacturing error for a Nissin anti-lock brake modulator has led to a recall in the U.S. for the 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300. (UPDATE: Transport Canada has also issued a recall for 745 units, in addition to the 1,083 units recalled in the U.S.) Kawasaki had already issued a recall in Japan for ABS-equipped versions of the 2013 Ninja 250, so it was no surprise that the 300, which uses nearly all of the same parts, would fall victim to the recall as well.
