Kawasaki Other description

I'm the 3rd owner for the past 20 years.
99% stock and original. Always garaged in San Jose California. 
Original exhaust. Never had a header on it.
33,922  miles. Runs, starts & shifts great. 
New Yuasa battery. Full carb service including synch, new float valves & seats, o-rings & gaskets.
Fresh and amazing paint job by Shiro's in Campbell Ca.
Correct decal set from Kawasaki. Color is spot on. Minor oops ( see pic ) on the tank which the seat covers up - can't even notice. Gas guage doesn't work consistently so I just use the trip meter.
New seat cover.
Includes 2 original keys with original dealer strap key chain. Complete tool kit & pouch. 
Owner's book ( with the fold out wiring diagram still fixed to the back cover ) with original pouch.
Will need tires. I purchased these years ago and went slightly oversized as the stock ones are rather skinny by today's standards but the new owner can choose now. I cleaned it up a little but wanted to present it as is. With a proper detailing it will look even better.
I'm listing locally so I reserve the right to end this sale early. This is a strong original Z1R and I have never had any mechanical issues whatsoever. Took it to Alice's Restaurant in La Honda alot! 
I'm not a collector and I hate to part with this bike but it's time to move on.
I will not ship for you but will assist as much as possible. Call 4oh89six66three59 with any questions.
Thanks for your interest!!

Simon and Leo

Thu, 11 Aug 2011

If you are a track day regular this year, you may well have bumped into former racer and friendly Kiwi, Simon Crafar. I first met him in Malaysia in 1990 when he was riding for a Yamaha dealer team, sweating his way round circuits like Shah Alam and Johor Bahru but with a long term plan to make it onto the World scene. And he didn’t take long as after riding for Honda in the UK in 1992 he moved to WSB in 1994 and enjoyed success with both the Honda and Kawasaki factory teams.
