Make us an offer on this bike!!  You never know!!

 

 


This listing is for a beautiful and almost all original 1980 KZ 1000 G-1 Classic.  Produced only 1 year, the G-1 Classic was very limited in production and was Kawasaki's first fuel injected motorcycle.  Very few are left running on the original fuel injection system.  A G-1 Classic has been my personal bike for over 10 years and there is a simple secret to keeping these bikes running.  The fuel injection system is VERY VERY sensitive to voltage change.  If you keep a good charged battery in this bike at all times along with a Battery Tender hooked up at all times you should have no problems.
 
This is an almost all original bike - from the paint, exhaust and on to the seat cover.  The clutch and front brake levers still have the plastic coating from the factory.  The fuel tank inside is almost like new.  The only non-original part I can find are the hand grips, the speedometer and tachometer.  The original speedometer was an 85 mph.    I'm assuming it's been on there since the old days as the previous owner of 5 years knew nothing of the change.  The previous owner also added foam comfort grips.  While the paint is all original and in overall good condition, it shows it's age in several places as you can see in the pictures.  All the chrome is in great overall condition for it's age.  The left front case has some peeling as you can see from the pictures.  The original seat cover has a 3" tear at the seam that could be repaired by a good upholstery shop.  This bike runs stronger than any G-1 Classic I've ridden.  You will not be disappointed in the way it runs.  This would be the perfect rider or restoration candidate if you are looking for an all original KZ 1000 G-1 Classic.  We tried to show all the know defects in the pictures.  Look over the pictures and ask us any questions you may have.  Make us an offer!!  You never know!!
 
  
 
We strive for 5 Star ratings in all our listings.  If you feel like we deserve less, please contact us before leaving feedback.  We offer you a money back guarantee on this bike upon pick up if you don't like it.   The bike has no warranty expressed or implied. It is sold as is where is.

Go camping with your bike

Keep your bike close to you when you go camping with the MOTOTENT from motorcycle adventurers Lone Rider. Priced at £450, here's a round-up of the features from Lone Rider: The MOTOTENT is spacious enough to shelter a dual sport bike as big a BMW R1200 GSA with all its luggage, to have room to work on it, and to be able to stand in the tent. The tunnel-shaped design allows a very quick setup of the tent when needed.

In addition to the upgraded basic version, the SE version with semi-active suspension is presented.
