1979 Kawasaki KZ 1300
Looking for something completely different? Here's a rare and vintage classic monster.
The Kawasaki KZ1300 originally planned as a racing motorcycle, but evolved into a touring motorcycle shortly after its release. Despite that, the KZ1300 became known for its screaming, yet reliable water-cooled six-cylinder engine. When it was released, its output in excess of 120HP led to new laws in Europe limiting horsepower.
Currently sporting flat/sport bars, and a few noteworthy and recommended upgrades including an $800 Dyna III ignition/coil kit and the updated cam chain tensioner. It has a brand new battery, a 6:1 DG exhaust and and sounds like a Ferrari when you rev it. Everything works, has only original 19K miles on this classic beast. Timing was just set by a professional.
One of only three, 6-cylinder models ever produced, (Benelli and Honda CBX) the KZ13 was the fastest and most powerful, and one of the models whose release led to the term "superbike" due to its horsepower and size. Six cylinders, water cooling, and shaft drive make it incredibly fast despite it's weight (700+lbs), definitely not for the beginner rider or faint of heart.
A beast of a bike if there ever was one!
