Kawasaki Other description

Up for auction is a 1982 Kawasaki GPZ750 also known as the KZ750R1.  The bike has not been ridden in several years and is not currently in rideable condition.  Recently, I installed the carbs and airbox from a running 2000 ZR750.  The engine turns over and it ran at a very high idle when the carbs were installed a few months ago.  Since then I have done no work to the bike and now I must sell to consolidate my toys.  There will need to be minor modification done to the airbox to run this setup.  Also, the brakes will need to be gone through as there is no pressure in the system.  

The overall condition of this bike is fair for its age.  The paint is decent, but does have some flaws, worst of which is a small dent in the top corner of the gas tank(see picture).  It has fairly new tires and the windscreen is almost new.  The electrical has been gone over and everything appears to work except the clutch safety switch was broken(wires are connected to bypass).  There is one small split seam(about 1.5") in the seat, but should be fixable before it gets out of hand.  The paint on the frame and engine is fading and scratched in places.    

Many of the original parts(inner fender, reflectors, shocks, carbs(disassembled) etc.) are included with the bike.  Also, I have some extra parts(fender, fairing, side panels, etc.) that will be included in the sale.  An ELR replica decal set and a project seat with ELR seat cover are also included.

This is a project bike that would be great for restoration, or a decent rider with some work.  Buyer is responsible for pickup in person and I cannot offer services to help deliver.  A $200 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of auction end.  Please feel free to ask any questions prior to bidding and I urge interested parties to schedule a viewing of the bike if they have the means.

Thanks

Americans reported 46,667 motorcycle thefts in 2011, a 6% decrease from 49,791 stolen motorcycles in 2010, reports the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
