1978 Kawasaki KZ1000

This 1978 Kawasaki KZ1000 is said to have spent over two decades in a collection before its 2026 acquisition by the seller. Now showing 11k miles, the motorcycle is finished in black with gold graphics. Power is provided by an air-cooled 1,015cc DOHC inline-four paired with a five-speed transmission, and equipment includes a kick starter, an electric starter, a Pingel fuel petcock, a chrome-finished four-into-two exhaust system, wire-spoke wheels, a replacement A2-style two-up seat, a rear grab bar, folding passenger foot pegs, chrome-finished fenders, and both center and side stands. The seller tells us that the bike was fitted with an additional front disc brake under previous ownership, and work since January 2025 involved rebuilding the rear brake caliper and the four Mikuni carburetors as well as replacing the float bowl gaskets and rear brake pads. This KZ1000A2 is offered at no reserve with an owner’s manual, a tool kit, a spare petcock, service records, and a Michigan title in the seller’s name. The bike was produced at Kawasaki’s Lincoln, Nebraska, manufacturing facility, and it is finished in black with gold graphics. Features include a replacement A2-style two-up seat, a rear grab bar, folding passenger foot pegs, chrome-finished fenders, dual mirrors, and both center and side stands. The seller notes that the fuel tank was repainted under previous ownership.
