Highlights: – 1000 cc inline-four engine – 59924 km indicated on odometer – Restored, according to the seller – Dark green paint with gold pinstriping and gold-coloured cast wheels – Z1000 ST badging on the side panels and seat The professional seller offers for sale this 1980 Kawasaki KZ1000 ST, powered by a 1000 cc inline-four engine. The KZ1000 ST is the shaft-driven, touring-minded sibling of Kawasaki’s famous Z1000 family: all the smooth, torquey power of the big air-cooled four, with a clean and low-maintenance final drive in place of a chain. Kawasaki’s air-cooled double-overhead-camshaft four-cylinder engines defined the superbike era of the 1970s, and the shaft-drive ST version, introduced at the turn of the 1980s, was aimed at riders who wanted long-distance comfort along with that character. It is recognisable by its tidy tail section with the integrated seat, the chrome exhaust and the distinctive cast wheels, details that are all visible on this motorcycle. This example is described by the seller as restored, and the photographs show a machine finished in dark green with gold pinstriping, gold wheels and bright chrome, with the Z1000 ST lettering on the side panels and seat. The engine, exhaust and rear drive are shown in detail, as is the rear light unit and the licence plate. The seller states that the motorcycle carries Dutch registration. For collectors of Japanese classics, a restored KZ1000 ST is an appealing and comparatively uncommon alternative to the more familiar chain-driven Z1000 models, and a motorcycle that is as enjoyable to ride as it is to look at.
