Kawasaki Z900 for sale - SOLD
« on: March 17, 2012, 07:02:25 pm »
If it's OK, I might show this here.
I realise it isn't quite a dirt bike....but with a little work it could be!  ;D and I know a lot of people here have interests out side of VMX, but if it offends, I'll delete it.
I'm regrettably going to have to sell my old Z to help fund a new Z project.
So here's the spiel:



Very nice bike in excellent condition. Currently registered in Tasmania.
This bike was rebuilt around 6 years ago, and still looks great!
Top end of engine professionally rebuilt with new rings and full head reconditioning.
All the right parts:
Long rear guard
Stamped pipes
Air box and silencer
Hazard switch
Correct tail light lens
New Dunlop TT100's front and rear.
Etc, etc.
Will help out as best I can with freight

$13,500.00

Lovely!!!!!  :) :) :) :) :) :)
I have access to a spare Z900 engine to repower that gorgeous machine. 73 Z900 at 1142cc with heavily beefed up clutch and 4 yes 4 speed gearbox , running twin Weber 45s on hand cast long path intake. extensive head mods, increased oil flow with appropriate cooler, Dyna sparks, lots more ,runs on methanol with Nitros.. Comes with fitted Rootes belt driven supercharger to suit. $36000.  You will have to rig up a charge system for the Zedders lighting,,,,, and the fuel consumption is a bit greedy anything over a quarter mile..

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Very Very nice  8)  Did you restore it yourself ??
Even if it isn't MX you have to admire excellent workmanship when you see it.
It does have 2 wheels and you could MX it  :o
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

Well thanks for the kind words. :)
Tempting to buy that Supercharged unit and whack a chair on it.  ;D..........
But it's been sold, and gone to a home in Melbourne.  :'(
Currently building this one up just for something a bit different.......however I see those TT500 Yammie's getting cheaper these days
