I WAS PLANNING ON FINISHING THIS MASTERPIECE AND KEEPING IT FOR MY SON BUT HE IS NOT A NAKED BIKE KID. THIS WILL BE LIKE ALL MY OTHER RESTORATIONS, A TRUE SHOW WINNER,…
COMING OUT OF MY PERSONAL COLLECTION OF OVER 100 BIKES IS THE LAST 1973 KAWASAKI Z1 THAT I WILL BE RESTORING.
THIS IS A LOW VIN NUMBER Z1F06432 WITH AN EARLY JANUARY 1973 BUILD DATE AND THE ORIGINAL ENGINE #6610 RESTORED TO PERFECTION.
I WAS PLANNING ON FINISHING THIS MASTERPIECE AND KEEPING IT FOR MY SON BUT HE IS NOT A NAKED BIKE KID. THIS WILL BE LIKE ALL MY OTHER RESTORATIONS, A TRUE SHOW WINNER, HEAD TURNER, MASTERPIECE THAT WILL ONLY APPRECIATE IN THE YEARS TO COME. THE RESTORATION SHOULD BE COMPLETED WITHIN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. I AM LISTING HER NOW SINCE I HAVE HAD 3 COLLECTORS ASK TO BUY IT.
PLEASE BID WITH CONFIDENCE THIS WILL BE A SHOW WINNER AND IN BETTER RESTORED CONDITION THEN THE 1973 Z1 THAT SOLD AT THE VEGAS AUCTION IN JANUARY 2023 FOR $51,000 PLUS THE BUYERS FEES. THAT BIKE HAD A POWDER COATED FRAME AND A FEW OTHER THINGS THAT JUDGES WOULD DEDUCT POINTS FOR. KAWASAKI NEVER POWDER COATED THERE FRAMES!!! ALL THERE FRAMES WERE FINISHED IN PAINT WITH A VERY PARTICULAR SHEEN/GLOSS OR LACK THERE OF ON SOME MODELS.
SO HERE IS A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF WHAT IS DONE AND WHAT I WILL COMPLETING. THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL BE GETTING:
THE FRAME: Z1F06432 JAN. 1973
THE ORIGINAL BODY WORK HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY REFINISHED IN EXACT REPLICATION OF THE ORIGINAL KAWASAKI PAINT FINISH. THE FRAME HAS BEEN BEAD BLASTED, EPOXY PRIMED, AND PAINTED IN THE ORIGINAL ’73 Z1 SHEEN.MOST OF THE HARDWARE HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH NOS THE REST HAS BEEN REFINISHED IN THE CORRECT COLOR.THE FRAME HAS THE ORIGINAL DATE CODES FOR ALL THE ORIGINAL COMPONENTS, SWING ARM, WHEEL HUBS, HANDLE BAR SWITCHES, REAR BRAKE ARM, FRONT ROTOR. THE 1973 OEM FRONT AND REAR WHEELS WILL BE RE-CHROMED AND LACED WITH “NOS” SPOKES AND NIPPLES. THE EXHAUST IS NEW WITH NO DATE CODE AS IT SHOULD FOR EARLY 1973. THE SEAT IS ORIGINAL WITH A PERFECT REFINISHED SEAT PAN AND A NEW SEAT COVER. TURN SIGNALS ARE NOS AS WELL AS MIRRORS, LEVERS, AND GRIPS, FUEL CAP, PETCOCK, CALIPER, MASTER CYLINDER. FOOT PEGS ARE ORIGINAL. TIRES, TUBES,BRAKES, AND BATTERY WILL BE NEW. SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER ARE ORIGINAL REFINISHED. TACH AND SPEEDO CABLE NEW. REAR SHOCKS ARE NOS FRONT FORKS HAVE BEEN REFINISHED IN THE OEM FINISH NOT POLISHED LIKE SO MANY DO.
THE ENGINE: #6610
DISASSEMBLED AND COMPLETELY REBUILT USING MANY NOS AND FACTORY PARTS. SHE ONLY HAD 5800 MILES ON IT SO IT DID NOT NEED MUCH. THE CASES WERE HYDRO BLASTED AND PAINTED TO MATCH THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTER. NEW NOS RINGS, BEARINGS, REPLACED 3 VALVES, ALL VALVE SPRINGS, COMPLETE MULTI ANGLE VALVE JOB HONED ALL CYLINDERS, CLUTCH, CLUTCH SPRINGS, CLUTCH PUSH ROD AND RELEASE MECHANISM, NEW INTAKE BOOTS, COMPLETELY REFINISHED THE CARBURETORS BACK TO FACTORY STANDARDS.
THIS IS A VERY HARD TO FIND OPPORTUNITY TO OWN AN ORIGINAL PIECE OF MOTORCYCLE HISTORY, SO DON’T MISS OUT
TELL YOUR WIFE THAT THESE VERY RARE BIKES WILL ONLY APPRECIATE IN VALUE 10-15% PER YEAR, NOT LIKE HER HANDBAG AND SHOE COLLECTION 🙂
I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING, RIDING, RACING, AND RESTORING VERY SPECIAL BIKES SINCE GRADUATING FROM “AMI” AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE INSTITUTE IN DAYTONA BEACH FL. IN 1980.
I HAVE WON COUNTLESS AWARDS FOR MY BIKES AND HAVE HAD THE BEST COMPLEMENTS FROM JUDGES INCLUDING “THIS IS NOT A RESTORATION IT LOOKS LIKE YOU JUST ROLLED IT OUT OF A CRATE”
MY RESTORATIONS ARE THAT IMPRESSIVE!!!
I JUST WON “MOTORCYCLE COLLECTOR OF THE YEAR” AT THE 2023 BOCA RATON CONCOURS D’ ELEGANCE. SOMETHING I AM VERY PROUD OF.
SO DON’T MISS OUT. CALL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS 954-816-0806 OR COME BY MY SHOP IN NORTH MIAMI. PLEASE ASK ABOUT OTHER RARE BIKES I WILL BE SELLING AND I CAN LIST THEM.
I received a few inquiries about the bike, so just to clarify ….I am not selling an unfinished bike I am selling a fully restored 73 Z1 that will be restored the correct way, the only way I know like the factory did in 1973!!!! I stopped the restoration process to finish another bike we sold. We are back on the Z1. If you or any other interested buyers actually hit the buy it now button we would give you daily updates. The last 73 Z1 sold at the Vegas auction for over 50k and it was a poor example of a restored Z1 (powder coated frame, incorrect ignition wires, and a lot more!). If I don’t sell her before its completed I will repost it as an auction and expect I would get more then 35k. I have been doing this since 1980. My bike restorations have won me MOTORCYCLE COLLECTOR OF THE YEAR AT THE 2023 BOCA RATON CONCOURS D’ ELEGANCE AND IF YOU ARE STILL NOT SURE COME SEE MY BIKES IN PERSON.Feel free to call me to discuss.
