This is very special motorbike and very rareopportunity.  XXXX KZ XXX BX model,personally imported by me from San Jose California in XXXX. All tax and dutieswere paid on import and the bike UK registered with an age related plate. Thebike is completely original and in stunning factory condition having coveredonly XXXX miles from new!  This bike is XXX% as it left the factory in XXXX and is inincredible original condition. Never been repaired, restored or messed with inany way. Still carries original factory stickers on tank and clocks and factorypaint markings on carbs and forks. The all-important exhausts are perfect andhave never been off the bike as the original factory fitted copper wraps arestill in place. These were designed to absorb the heat generated in hot USA statesand stop the exhaust headers bluing ?�� they didn?��t work! The indoor photographshows the bike as un-crated it fresh from the USA. Frame paint is all original and it stills wears the unmarked paper label found on USA machines.The engine has never been apart and original gaskets arestill visible. Clocks are bight and un-faded, and only the yellowing of theplastic coating on the original levers give clue to its XX years of age. Allchrome, wheels, seat and plastics etc are perfect.  Came to me with the original tyres and tubesbut now has new Bridgestone Battleax tyres and HD tubes fitted for safety whenriding. Comes complete with original handbook and complete toolkit includingthe feeler gauge and spare flat wallet key (visible in the under seat shot). Everything works exactly as it should none of the usualproblems with engine, starter motor or carburettors found on tired or evenrestored examples. It has never been dropped or damaged and in short looks,starts, rides, handles and stops like month old bike. Study the detail pictures to see how clean this bike is. It actually looks better in the flesh (for change) and inspection is welcomed and recommended.  The bike had Allen bolts replacing the cross-headed screwson service covers when bought it ?�� popular XXs modification as the screwschewed first time they were removed. have fitted engine protection bars butthese can easily be remove if required. Other than that, plus fluids and filters every nut and bolt is completely genuine. There are few very minor imperfections which willmention as they can?��t be seen in pictures. There is some minor paint rubbedthrough around the footrests but no rust. The exhaust headers are blued fromthe California heat and the silencers have very light scuffing in places. Thetank has few hair scratches around the seat area on very close inspection.None of these in any way detract from the condition or appeal of thismotorcycle. am perfectionist and personally wouldn?��t dream of touchingthe bike or engine for any of this as something is only original once. Again advise inspection so you see exactly what you are buying. The bike is part of my personal collection of XXs Kawasakisand is kept Mot?��d and ridden on occasions. This is my third ZXXX and searchedfor years for the absolute best example to add to mycollection. suspect this bike is almost unique outside of museum. If youseek genuine originality over powder coated, pattern part restorations like Ido you will not find better example. It is certainly not the cheapest Kawasaki XXX in the UK but it is almost certainly the best. have retained the heavy duty export crate and will facilitate shipping if required. Buy it to ride, show or an appreciatinginvestment. I?��m selling only to thin down the collection to more manageable levels.    The Bike is advertised elsewhere and normal ebay rules apply. You are bidding to buy and ??XXX deposit is required on purchase with the balance paid in cash on collection.
