The Kawasaki Z650 was a scaled down version of the very successful Z1 and shares not only a great deal of its looks but also like its big brother, has excellent handling and performance. Its 64 bhp engine was capable of 120mph and although the single front disc was adequate for the machine’s performance, Kawasaki supplied the bikes with the right fork leg ready equipped to bolt on a second caliper to enhance the braking even further if required.
This motorcycle was previously registered in the City of Toronto in Canada until 2021 when it was imported to the UK. It is unrestored and has retained many of its original parts. The current owner has ridden and enjoyed the bike throughout last summer and has described it as being in good overall condition, the engine runs smoothly with no rattles and it handles well. There is a dent on the right-hand side of the fuel tank.
Comes with – a current V5C, importation documentation, a verification certificate of year manufactured from the ‘Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club’, its original manual and toolkit and its two original keys that fit all the locks.
Estimate: £3, 600 – 4, 600
