This listing is for a beautiful and almost all original 1980 KZ 1000 G-1 Classic.  Produced only 1 year, the G-1 Classic was very limited in production and was Kawasaki's first fuel injected motorcycle.  Very few are left running on the original fuel injection system.  A G-1 Classic has been my personal bike for over 10 years and there is a simple secret to keeping these bikes running.  The fuel injection system is VERY VERY sensitive to voltage change.  If you keep a good charged battery in this bike at all times along with a Battery Tender hooked up at all times you should have no problems.
 
This is an almost all original bike - from the paint, exhaust and on to the seat cover.  The clutch and front brake levers still have the plastic coating from the factory.  The fuel tank inside is almost like new.  The only non-original part I can find are the hand grips, the speedometer and tachometer.  The original speedometer was an 85 mph.    I'm assuming it's been on there since the old days as the previous owner of 5 years knew nothing of the change.  The previous owner also added foam comfort grips.  While the paint is all original and in overall good condition, it shows it's age in several places as you can see in the pictures.  All the chrome is in great overall condition for it's age.  The left front case has some peeling as you can see from the pictures.  The original seat cover has a 3" tear at the seam that could be repaired by a good upholstery shop.  This bike runs stronger than any G-1 Classic I've ridden.  You will not be disappointed in the way it runs.  This would be the perfect rider or restoration candidate if you are looking for an all original KZ 1000 G-1 Classic.  We tried to show all the know defects in the pictures.  Look over the pictures and ask us any questions you may have.  Make us an offer!!  You never know!!
 
  
 
We strive for 5 Star ratings in all our listings.  If you feel like we deserve less, please contact us before leaving feedback.  We offer you a money back guarantee on this bike upon pick up if you don't like it.   The bike has no warranty expressed or implied. It is sold as is where is.

Report: Dorna to Replace Superstock Classes with More Stock-Inspired WSBK and New 250cc Class

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

The coming World Superbike racing season may be the last to feature Superstock classes as series promoter Dorna tries to differentiate its WSBK and MotoGP properties. According to Italian outlet Motosprint, Dorna plans to rewrite the World Superbike and Supersport class rulebooks for the 2014 season to make the race bikes closer to their respective production models. This would create further separation between WSBK and MotoGP, with Superbike racing moving closer to its production-based roots while prototypes racing in the GP series.

Kawasaki Celebrates 30 Years Of Ninjas With Anniversary Model ZX-6Rs

In 1985 Ronald Reagan is President, Back To The Future is a box office smash, New Coke is introduced and so is Kawasaki’s first 600cc Ninja sportbike. Thirty years later we’re still riding Ninjas but, thankfully, drinking original recipe Coca-Cola. For 2015, Kawasaki celebrates three decades of Ninja models with a 30th Anniversary Ninja ZX-6R and Ninja ZX-6R ABS.

Melissa Paris To Race FIM CEV Superstock 600 In 2014 Aboard Kawasaki ZX-6R

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

With the recent turmoil in the AMA Pro Roadracing series lately, many teams and riders are looking at other options for the 2014 racing season. Among those is Melissa Paris, who recently announced she would be taking her talents to Spain next year to race in the highly competitive FIM CEV Superstock 600 class, aboard a Kawasaki ZX-6R prepared by Stratos Racing. The Spanish Roadracing championship will be run under the guidance of the FIM for the first time starting next year, which will have the side benefit of exposing Paris to more international teams and competition.
