In late 1972 I paid in full for the yet to be released Kawasaki Z1 900. New York Steak it was called in an early motorcycle magazine. In early 1973 I received and loved this bike. Living in Buffalo NY the riding season was short but I enjoyed every minute for several years.
then life changed ..
New lovely girlfriend..then lovely wife.. then children..wife did not like me riding
I made my choice
So I put my bike in storage for all these years thinking some day Ill ride it again.
Now the wife, till lovely, s an ex wife.
But the years have come and gone ..taken their toll on me ..too heavy, oo much pain so it is time to let my bike go.
When new I replaced original with aftermarket sissybar ..let good friend "borrow" decades ago the speedometer and turn signals, hile bike was in storage.. attempting to retrieve them now.Original chain and exhaust were replacedhas some scratches, ings and some rust here and there (rear shocks for example)... I am still looking for auto chain oiler which I took off the first year and one side cover lost possibly in garage or basement..
I do not have a battery but bike was in great mechanical condition when garaged.. kicks over well .. probably needs carbs cleaned and master cylinder rebuilt. Mostly gently ridden so engine, lutch, ransmission, ven the pads and shoes should be excellent.
All original except as mentioned ..never needed to have engine or trans or anything removed..included in the photos are the title and two when bike was new
Feel free to ask any questions
