75 KAWASAKI Z1-B 900 — VINTAGE Z1 COLLECTOR MOTORCYCLE
Offered for sale is a 1975 Kawasaki Z1-B 900, an increasingly collectible example of Kawasaki’s legendary Z1 series.
This motorcycle has been stored indoors in a shed for essentially its entire life and is being offered as a preserved vintage motorcycle rather than a restored bike.
The motorcycle presents in black with blue and white striping and retains the character and patina expected of a motorcycle of this age.
Identification
Frame number: Z1F-69168
Engine number: Z1E-068386
Odometer: Approximately 18,097 miles shown
The engine and frame numbers are both consistent with a 1975 Kawasaki Z1-B and are closely sequenced. We are not representing the motorcycle as a documented “matching-numbers” motorcycle.
The mileage shown is the odometer reading only. Actual mileage is unknown.
Mechanical Condition
The motorcycle has been in long-term indoor storage.
The engine has been turned using the kickstarter and does turn over. A video showing the kickstarter being operated is available.
However, the motorcycle has not been represented or advertised as currently running, and no attempt has been made to fully recommission it for road use.
Because of its age and long-term storage, a buyer should expect the motorcycle to require inspection and normal recommissioning/service before operation.
The motorcycle is being sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS, with no warranty expressed or implied.
Collector Opportunity
The Kawasaki Z1 is one of the most recognizable Japanese superbikes of the 1970s, and surviving examples continue to attract collectors.
Rather than restore or modify this motorcycle prior to sale, we have chosen to offer it in its present condition so the next owner can decide whether to preserve, mechanically recommission, or restore it.
Please review all photographs and the video carefully. They are intended to be an important part of the description and show the motorcycle’s present condition.
Ownership & Title
The motorcycle belonged to my late husband.
The Illinois title remains in his name. I am his surviving wife and the court-appointed executor of his estate, and I have the Letters of Office documenting my authority to handle the estate and transfer the motorcycle.
The appropriate estate documentation will accompany the transaction as required for transfer.
Pickup & Shipping
The motorcycle is located in Southern Illinois.
Local pickup is welcome.
Shipping may also be arranged by the buyer. The buyer is responsible for selecting, arranging, and paying the motorcycle transporter or shipping company.
The motorcycle will not be released until payment has been received and verified.
Please Ask Questions
Serious collectors and buyers are welcome to contact me with questions or requests for additional photographs.
This is an opportunity to acquire a 1975 Kawasaki Z1-B 900 that has spent its life in long-term indoor storage, with its history and current condition presented as accurately and transparently as possible.
