If it had all the stock equipment (and a title), it might be worth the asking price.

A '76 kz900 IS a Z1.

A '76 kz900 IS a Z1.

Well, according to Wikipedia, it was called "Z1" from its introduction in 1973 until 1975, when it was "replaced" by the "KZ900".

Or DO I ?

History

The Kawasaki Z1 was developed in strict secrecy under the project name "New York Steak". In the late 1960s Kawasaki, already an established manufacturer of two-stroke motorcycles, decided to make a 750 cc four-cylinder four-stroke sports motorcycle[1] (they even had an appearance prototype designed by McFarlane Design in 1969),[2] but they were beaten to the marketplace by the Honda CB750. This postponed the Z1's release until its displacement could be upped to 903 cc.[1]
Production began in 1973; at the time it was the most powerful Japanese 4-cylinder 4-stroke ever built.[3] The Z1 had full instrumentation and an electric start, produced 82 bhp and had a maximum speed of 130 mph (210 km/hr).[4] It met with very positive reviews from the motorcycle press, who praised its smoothness, damped vibration, easy-starting (kick-start and electric were both available), straight-line stability and linear acceleration. Steering was accurate and the bike handled well, but testers said the rear tire, chain and rear shocks all wore out quickly.[1]
The Z1 was awarded the MCN 'Machine of the Year' accolade for four years running between 1973 to 1976 (an award resulting from a readers' opinion-poll run by UK weekly publication Motorcycle News)[5]

No, it's not

The KZ900 has a bunch of changes from the Z1

There was just a thread on this and Jeff S added his wisdom

Not going to get into the Z1 or not debate, but hell if he can get that price why not? But no title? Don't see it happening. Maybe if he dropped a zero.

That's a bit high for one that's been repainted and non original, but in the ball park
