KAWASAKI Z1 - NUMBER 27

Thanks to Dave Orritt (author of Kawasaki Z1 - Essential Buyer's Guide) for sending us these pics of his latest acquisition from Los Angeles Jan 2013.

This Kawasaki Z1, was no.27 off the production line (from the first hour of production), August 1972.

Dave thinks this is the earliest Z1 currently in the UK and possibly Europe, having had one US owner and covered 134000 miles, with original engine.







Packed with good advice on choosing the right Kawasaki, with a comprehensive inspection guide and in-depth analysis of strengths and weaknesses, this book covers desirable upgrades, modifications to avoid, valuation and predicting which models will become collectable (if they aren’t already). Illustrated throughout with photos of key areas to check and foibles to be aware of, and featuring details ranging from the Kawasaki community, to whether a Kawasaki Z1 or Z900 will suit you and your lifestyle, this is the complete guide to choosing, assessing, and buying the Kawasaki of your dreams.
