My all time favorite kawasaki as well. When I was 16 that's the bike I wanted but my father thought it was to much bike for me so I settled for a KH400  28 years later I bought a Z1R basket case. Here are some pics of it when I finished it in 2008. I hope to be riding it again next year.   |

Not stock anymore is it . I never trust anything in an ad, everyone is a used car salesman and everything is worth a million dollars to someone... Too much contradicting in that ad and photos to make me believe its never been apart |

I think they should have been called the WM, as they did have some bad speed wobbles. Be careful on it untill you get used to it.

My next door neighbour had one and he loaned it to a friend of his and got the speed wobble and wrote it off otherwise he would still have it . He said he would accelerate to get out of the wobble so he never had a big issue with the handling .  |

Cool bikes, i have had two over the years. They ride like a sawhorse though. Much more fun with a pipe and all the mods!
Would prefer a Mark 2 or a GPZ but would buy another if I found one!

Oh boy, I just found what was a NOS z1r gas tank out laying in the weeds yesterday. Non dented paint Ok but pretty rusty inside. What a shame.
