Comments from the seller

1979 6‑cylinder Kawasaki — an iconic motorcycle that puts a smile on the face of anyone who rides it, and on those who stop to admire it. If you’re looking to own a motorcycle recognised in history as one of the special models that helped change motorcycle design and engineering, this is your chance. The Z1300 is a standout machine with presence, character and genuine historical significance. Only selling due to age‑related illness — it’s time to pass it on to someone who truly appreciates the engineering, the excitement, and the legacy of a bike that helped shape motorcycling in its era. I’m happy to negotiate with genuine buyers. The goal is a fair deal where both the new owner and seller walk away satisfied. Will consider swap with cash either way for a registerable/registered Ute.
