Kawasaki GPZ description

Amazing bike, very rare. One of the hottest bikes of the 80's and able to beat most 650 and 750 class bikes. Only selling because I had some medical expenses come up and I have a touring bike that I use more often. I hate to let the bike go but I need the money.

Done by previous owner within the last year at Kawasaki dealer:
Front forks serviced
Carbs cleaned and rebuilt with Dynojet stage 1 kit
KN air filter in airbag
Fresh Oil and filter
Ignition Timing set
Stainless front brake lines
Brakes flushed and new pads. Calipers cleaned and inspected
Brand new tires, still have the hairs on them except in the exact center of the tire.
I put less than a hundred miles on them...
New grips
Cables lubricated
New battery
Professional White paint job in clear coat and extremely expensive correct decal kit applied under clear coat.
New plugs and boots

Done by me last month:
Slight corrosion in fuse holder cleaned up
Cleaned carbs and checked fuel level
Small crack in air box sealed
Timing chain adjuster cleaned and freshly lubricated
Checked valve clearance and learned that it is out of spec and needs smaller valve shims
The good news is the cams are great. It has the hottest cam profile for the GPZ, the one with two grooves in the cam shaft.
Tank cap/vent system cleaned and reassembled
Checked tank for rust, no rust in carbs or tank was found

I have a clear title for the bike as well as the original service manual with most of the early service recorded in it.

The bike starts and runs excellent. It has flat power above 6k RPM until it's warmed up, which is consistent with the valves needing an adjustment and/or needing a new coil. There is no rust in the commonly rusted area where the rear suspension is. There is chipped paint and surface rust on the center stand which is normal.

Priced to move fast

2012 Kawasaki Versys 1000 Makes North American Debut in Canada

Wed, 11 Jan 2012

As we’ve previously reported, the new Kawasaki Versys 1000 will not be imported to the U.S, but it will be available in North America in Canada as a 2012 model. Kawasaki Canada presented the Versys 1000 at its display at this past weekend’s North American International Motorcycle Supershow in Toronto, for the new “adventure sport” model’s debut on this side of the Atlantic. While he can’t speak for Kawasaki USA’s decision making, Bob Calwell, district manager for Kawasaki Canada, he does note that the Canadian company does have a history of making different product selections.

Anthony West Can’t Afford to Pay to Race MotoGP, Mulls Retirement

Fri, 27 Jan 2012

The 2012 MotoGP season is still months away and the world championship has already lost an entry, as veteran Anthony West announced his withdrawal from the series because he cannot afford to compete. The 30-year-old Australian racer was included on the provisional 2012 MotoGP entry list to compete for the Speed Master team on an Aprilia CRT machine. But with the official pre-season test at Sepang, Malaysia, coming up next week, West says he will not race because teams are asking riders to pay too much to race for them.

Kawasaki Z1000 ABS Back For 2015

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

The Kawasaki Z1000 is nothing if not attention-grabbing, and for 2015 it will be back in Kawasaki’s lineup of motorcycles. Team Green calls it “Sugomi” styling, which combines its sculpted shape – invoking a crouching predator – with painstaking details like its special “Z” ignition key, machined aluminum steering stem bolt and the intricate “Z” motif seat cover. This is wrapped in a new color scheme for 2015 that combines Golden Blazed Green with Metallic Spark Black to create a dramatic motorcycle.
