Description

1973 Kawasaki Z1 with original caution label. Custom build with yellow ball exterior finish. Vehicle inspection valid through May 2009. Modified components: Tokyo iron tube muffler, Hayashi cast wheels (reproduction), Tomarizé light bracket, Koni rear suspension, Watanabe wheels. Engine is Z900 Z1F-1277 (non-matching, noted by seller). Front brake recently rebuilt and installed, low mileage since. Original muffler included. Seller reports good running condition as of October 3, 2026 test ride. Seller maintains the bike at a motorcycle shop. This is an older vehicle: expect oil seepage, rust, and scratches; photos overstate condition. Behavior can be unpredictable despite recent good running. Engine does not match frame—this vehicle requires committed owner acceptance. Local land transport available; name transfer handled after payment.

Scratches, rust, and oil seepage present; typical for a 1973 motorcycle. Engine does not match the frame; seller explicitly notes this and cautions that the bike runs well now but can act up without notice.

Ships from Tochigi, Japan, to our Osaka warehouse and on to Pomona.
