Kawasaki Zephyr 1100
Low mileage UK Zephyr 1100 in stunning Z1B colours.
Kawasaki’s retro Zephyrs are almost classics in their own right now, scarily the time since their introduction is greater than the time between the bikes that inspired them! This exceptional example is in beautiful original condition with the obvious exception of a tribute Z1B paint job. Nicely done too. Not sure about the real leather seat; it’s a quality item but a black cover would restore the original look easily enough. The 9,386 miles from new recorded is supported by a collection of old MOT certificates in a file which includes the handbook, various invoices and a couple of spare keys. The V5C tells us there have only been three former keepers; the last two were brothers dating from 1996 and the paintwork was done before they owned it. First registered new in the UK on 6th April 1993 and beautifully preserved over nearly a quarter of a century. Check out the condition of the lacquer on the fork legs, the condition of the wheels, frame and chrome all over – it’s simply superb. Surely cannot have been used in the winter or seen much rain? Will be sold with a new MOT, carbs just cleaned and balanced at Classic Bike Workshop, new air filter, oil is clean and on the level, nothing to do but ride and enjoy!
