I cannot view that link

at work and NHS systems have restrictions on what you can and can`t view.
Can anyone tell me what it is?

It's a 1975 Kawasaki 900 Z1B that just sold on evilBay for Â£12,600

Theres still 2 more for sale if you really want one, performance is on a par with the TRX, they rust badly (especially the 4 into 4 exhaust) and the Benelli SEI 6 into 6 still looks better (but rusts quicker).

Make a nice old school 'fighter, that.

Performance in a straight line may well be on a par with a TRX but have you ever `pushed on` on a Z1 and tried to get around the twisty stuff?
A TRX would leave a Z1 for dead!
Stupid money for a pretty mediocre machine,it may well be iconic but it`s a born again bikers weekend and show toy nowadays,how many folk actually run them as daily transport?
Mind,they are long lived and if not thrashed very reliable old beasts too.
A good friend of mine is a zed fanatic,he`s mad for them,I`ve never found a Kawasaki I liked enough to own,poor finish and too delicate to set up at times,at least they have been historically,especially the stroker triples.Another friend drag races ZZR1100`s and 12`s,bit of a guru on them and he swears by them after he`s made oilway/feed modifications.

Your right about the twisty stuff, which is why people like Rickman made frames for them.
I got one very wobbly once, liked the power but it didnt handle anywhere near my old Triumph. Dont think I would buy one even if I won the lottery.

Ahhh,now you`re talking.
A Rickman Z1 is a fine handling tool,wouldn`t mind a shot on one myself,followed a guy along the A23 who was pushing one along once while riding my Le Mans,it certainly handled sweetly.
