1979 Kawasaki Z1r , Here is part 2 from ad :// /listing/1978-Kawasaki-Z1rTC-116939503 Remarkably under-engineered and overpowered in just about every respect, The Z1R-TC was so ridiculously over-the-top that it is scarcely believable that it was actually sold through official dealers... but you you probably already knew that if you're checking this ad out. This particular Black Turbo (aka Mork and Mindy edition), is in amazing condition. It has been stored indoors at a climate controlled warehouse as part of a collection of other turbo bikes of the era, including another Z1R-TC (also for sale). The paint is in excellent condition and there is no rust. All the brightwork still maintains its luster, and the plastics are unoxidized.

Austin, Texas

This ’78 Kawasaki Z1RTC Molly Graphics is one of only 250 made and sold through Kawasaki dealers. This bike is in excellent original condition, and has been perfectly maintained, and is stored in air conditioned comfort. Everything works perfectly as it should, except the fuel gauge. I believe those senders are available from Z1enterprises. Less than 200 miles on new tires. I have owned this low vin# Z1RTC since January 2009, and it has been titled in my name since then. It now has 9,975 miles. I bought it with 8,335 miles on the clock at the January 2009 Las Vegas Mid America auction, at the height of the recession. I added the Proxibid page from the auction lot in the photos section, showing the description from Mid America. In the 1,600 miles I have ridden it since then, I have added the Mikuni (stock carb and filter included in the sale), changed the oil, and replaced the tires about 200 miles ago. It comes with the ownership history trail, including registration documents and titles showing the previous owner bought it in 2003 with 8,249 miles, and the owner before him with 7,900 miles. It also includes the original Turbo Cycle registration and purchaser certification documentation from original purchase in 1979, as well as copies of title/registration paperwork for myself, and the 2 previous owners before me. Also included is the original owners handbook, Turbo supplement book, tool pouch and original set of 2 keys Options include the original ATP Stage 2 welded crank, and the ATP deep sump oil pan and Mikuni HSR42 carb with proper jetting. Original carb and airfilter included with the sale. The Mikuni solves all of the rough idle and mixture issues of the stock carb, and makes it much easier to ride around at normal speeds. See photos for how it looks with original triangular airfilter and current circular airfilter on the Mikuni Also included in the sale: ATP sales brochure, ATP wholesale and retail product catalogs, Turbo Cycle Corp Z1RTC sales brochure (too funny), Period magazine articles, Rayjay Turbos Maintenance and overhaul manual, hard copy of Motorcycle Classics magazine in which it was featured in Jan/Feb 2013 issue (see photos). Do search at Motorcycle classics website for ‘Z1RTC’ for the story. Mileage in those photos taken summer 2012 was 8,527.Winner ‘Best Japanese Motorcycle’ June 2012 Eastside Classic MC show in Austin TX. Nominated and shown at the Handbuilt Motorcycle Show, Austin TX 2015. As Cycle Guide said in April ’79 issue (photocopy included) “There’s just one sensible thing to do with a Kawasaki Z1R TC II turbo-chain it to your floor and feed it a little raw meet now and then. Little children and puppydogs will do nicely. When the moon is full, you might want to exercise the turbo a little, but always on a very short leash. It’s not intended to mix in polite society. As any Lon Chaney Jr. movie attests, average citizens break out pitchforks when they’re confronted with a werewolf. Just imagine their reaction to a 135 mph flame belching, tire smoking werewolf."As Motorcyclist Magazine said in August 1978: (copy included) The boost needle rose slowly at first, then progressively faster, then all hell broke loose inside the engine. As if catapulted from a carrier deck, the Z1R leaped forward at a frightening pace, with the tach needle hurrying toward the redline. The pull on the handlebars became more than a ski-slope rope tow, and seemed to double, and then quadruple as boost pressure increased. In an instant, the speedo needle flashed by the 100 mark, the tach needle had surged into the red zone and the boost gauge was jiggling near 8 pounds of pressure, its preset limit. Against a force which literally pinned his body rearward, Ken slapped the clutch leaver engaging 4th gear and within a second the speedo jumped to an alarming 120 mph, the tach had again swung into the red, and the road turned into streaks of indistinguishable color. When jerking the gearbox into 5th, Ken had expected, and somewhat hoped, that the acceleration would taper off, but the turbo showed no mercy-the handlebars were pulling, the wind was pushing, the noise was deafening and the sensation extra terrestrial. With terror embossed on his eyeballs, he watched the speedo skyrocket to an indicated 145 mph, where he finally called it quits, exhausted from the tremendous surge of acceleration Local pickup, or ship at your own cost. I will deliver to a Austin TX area shipping dock, but organizing shipping is buyer’s responsibility. $500 deposit by paypal in 24 hours of auction end, and full payment due in 7 days, by certified bank check/money order. I reserve the right to end the auction early. Please ask any questions. Thanks for looking.

Kawasaki : Other KZ650 C3 1979 KZ 650 C KAWASAKI Z1R LTD MKII 900 1000 Z2 750 Z1 Z1900 KZ1000 A B

$2,850

Spencerport, New York

For sale is a 1979 KZ650 C3 with just under 17K miles. This is a 2 owner bike that has spent the last 23 years in storage. It has a new Yuasa battery, Dyna coils and wires with oem CDI ignition system, new oring chain and sprockets, rear tire, rebuilt master cylinders and calipers, new fork seals with dust boots, rebuilt carbs, 2 out of 4 airbox boots replaced with new air filter and new halogen headlight. The factory paint shows some minor scuffs and scratches with almost no fading. The tank interior is perfectly clean as new and there is a dent above the left emblem as seen in pics. There is also a long shallow crease where something fell on it while in storage. There was a luggage rack installed at some point and scratched the sides of the tail fin down low. The left side cover has a crack on the front leading edge with a quality repair made from the inside and the original seat has a clean rust free base with all warning stickers; but could needs repair or a new cover. The chrome fenders still look good with minor flaws and the stock exhaust is totally solid with chrome wear from storage; but no dents or scrapes. The hard to find factory Toyo mirrors and grab handles are present and still in great shape! The original owner used this bike regularly until about 1991 according to the pile of insurance cards found under the seat with owners manual. The bike was parked for a leaky head gasket until about 2013 when the kid next door bought it. That owner bought a service manual, but luckily never attempted any repairs not being the mechanical type. I purchased it in May of this year and replaced the head gasket with a good quality oem unit from an early 80's model with better sealing capabilities. I only had to make a couple changes on the valve shimming and have since put 350 trouble free miles on it. The malfunctioning Kawasaki clean air system has been disabled and completely removed. I also performed other PM services such as swing arm and steering neck bearing lubrication and also converted the brake fluid to DOT 5 synthetic. Overall, this bike is in awesome survivor condition. It starts, runs, rides and stops beautifully and is very well mannered both in traffic and out on the highway with a smooth quiet engine and a nice tight transmission. This bike comes with owners manual, service manual, warranty letter, partial tool kit and one factory key that operates all 3 locks on the bike. The 79 C3 was the last year for the C as it was originally designed with triple disc brakes and probably the most reliable with auto cam chain tensioner from the factory. Although this bike shows cosmetic wear, it is in outstanding mechanical condition and is worthy of a restoration or use as is for a super dependable rider. All of the expensive and labor intensive services have already been done for you - just throw your plate on and ride it. Personal inspections are welcomed and encouraged - there is a $500 paypal deposit required at time of sale with balance to be paid within a week by cash or bank wire. Possible delivery is available in the northeast for a fee.

Yamaha XS1100 400 original miles No rust Runs like new Freshly service

$8,900

San Diego, California

ONLY 400 miles on this extremely well preserved 1979 XS Eleven in Indigo Blue. It is all stock as it came from "Anaheim Motorcycles" in 1978 as a 1979 1100F model. The bike was first purchased in the fall of 1978 but it was only registered for 3 years up to 1981. I have the registration records 1978-1981 and the license plate sticker shows 1981 as well. As of last year the bike is registered in CA and has a clean title. When I bought the bike it had the original tires still in new condition. I decided to replace them with the OEM Bridgstone brand to stay as authentic as possible for safety reasons only. I still have the original tires and inner tubes which amazingly look new and are soft to the touch. The carburetors were professionally cleaned and refurbished using only new old stock (NOS) parts. The engine runs as it should considering it's basically a brand new machine. The exhaust system is in excellent condition, and sounds beautiful. The engine purrs at cruising speeds, but when you give it some gas it growls and accelerates with no hesitation. All bolts and nuts are like new. The new battery fires up the bike instantly and it idles perfectly. The XS11 has a stock 95 HP engine which makes it as fast as a modern motorcycle. The "Eleven" in the name not only stands for the displacement but also the quarter mile time (which is sub 12 seconds) achieved easily. Original owner's manual, toolkit, and emergency kick starter are also included. Asking 8,900 For fun you might want to search Youtube for the 1978 Castrol Production Bike Race at Amaroo Park where the XS1100 beat the rival 6 cylinder Honda CBX1000 and Suzuki GS1100, Ducati 900SS, and BMW R100S while no Kawasaki KZ1000 models were present the new Z1R made its debut.
