Kawasaki kz 1000 description

Sorry to say, Health issues force sale of my 1978 Kawasaki KZ 1000 C-1 Police Motorcycle. This

is the first year for the KZ 1000 police model and based on the Serial Number

KZT00C500162, it appears to be a very early production bike, being the 162 nd

produced. I was told that it was originally a police motorcycle somewhere in the

Northeast. From documents that I have (which are included with the bike), it was

found in a barn in Delaware County Ohio in 2002 and purchased in May of 2003.

It was titled in Ohio in May of 2003 with 24,188 actual miles on the odometer. It

was then sold to someone in New York in February of 2010. When I purchased

the bike in 2012, the odometer read 24,652. It just turned over 25,000 miles on

the odometer. It has a clear Florida title in my name. I have a receipt for

$4,851.94 in work from March 3, 2010, which included rebuilding of the motor,

carburetor’s and full service of all systems. It was badged as a CHiPs bike at some

point.

It is equipped with dual speedometers (originally for locking in an offender’s

speed), with one being functional. The rear box is a non-functional replica and

the bike includes a radio box, rear antenna and siren speaker. Based on the bulbs

and trim rings, the front emergency lights appear to be from a Harley. Overall

condition is very good. There are some chips in the paint on the tank and some

cracks in the left side cover. There is some haze in the windshield. The bike runs

very well and has had recent carburetor work, brakes and fuel petcock.

I have video of the bike running and driving for serious buyers

A Weighty Issue

Mon, 03 Nov 2008

For as long as I can remember, motorcycle manufacturers have been playing fast and loose with regard to what they claim for the weight of their bikes. The “dry weights” they foisted upon us had little basis in reality. The “dry” part of that claim meant that listed weights on a spec chart were the result of all fluids being MIA from the bike, including necessities like engine oil, coolant and fork fluid (not to mention fuel), but even that didn’t fully explain the overly optimistic specs.
