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.

ZX-10R inspired by JPS Lotus?

Tue, 10 Jul 2012

Spotted on Kawasaki's Facebook page, this 'Limited Edition' ZX-10R has been created by none other than double-F1 World Champ Emerson Fittipaldi, who is - amongst other things - a Kawasaki dealer in Brazil and who also happened to win his first World Championship in 1972 in a JPS Lotus that had a very similar colour scheme. Fittipaldi started his motorsport career on a motorcycle, aged just 14, before heading to hydrofoils (surely no-one else at world level has ever raced these?!) and then the more traditional route of karting. Question is: what do you think to the paintjob?
