1972 Kawasaki Z1 Early 'Fireball' Model - Engine-Running Base Bike
K1756 当時物 72年 初期 Z1 火の玉 エンジン実働 ベース 0297 検) Z2 750RS KZ
This is an early production 1972 Kawasaki Z1 ('Fireball' era), sold as a running-engine base motorcycle for restoration or parts. The engine has been confirmed to fire using a battery jump and cleaner spray through the air intake, but the bike is sold as-is with no further mechanical verification. Included documents are an export certificate (classified as a motorcycle), a local US title, and a bill of sale. The MFD sticker shows December 1972. Frame number begins Z1F-035 and engine number begins Z1E 036, with the remaining digits withheld by the seller. Buyers are strongly encouraged to inspect the bike in person, as the seller notes it is an old vehicle likely to need a full mechanical check, service, and inspection before it could be registered or ridden. The seller sells as-is and asks that buyers rely on photos and in-person inspection over the description.
Seller notes general wear and dirt ('scratches and dirt') consistent with an old, unrestored motorcycle. Engine fires when jump-started but has not been otherwise tested or verified; a full inspection and service is recommended before road use.
