Overview
A unique and rare 1977 Rickman/Kawasaki CR900! This bike has had a complete mechanical restoration, done by a reputable and well-established Kawasaki specialist shop. Videos were made which document the entire process of bringing this exotic machine back to life and are available on YouTube.
The engine was completely overhauled, cases were vapor blasted, and covers polished. Front forks have been rebuilt, rear shocks are new, has new overhauled brakes with custom-made lines, rebuilt gauges, genuine Kawasaki lions head key. Original Ronal wheels. Side stand, center stand, and chain guard were powder coated to match the polished frame. Solid state regulator/rectifier. The motorcycle is titled as a Rickman Z1.
The bodywork shined up nicely but does have some cracking and light scratches. The rear rim has a very slight warped area. Front tire should be replaced.
