KAWASAKI Z750E 4 Cylinder 1981: Registered Historic on the V5 as you can see by the picture of the V5 (in my name) and is TAX/MOT and ULEZ Exempt. Date of original Registration: 18/3/1981. Nice clean example at a great price. Cheap Classic Insurance..  

I’ve had this bike for over 10 Months, i bought it in the middle of winter and it’s sat in my garage ever since.

When i bought it, it started and ran fine..

1st Picture in listing was taken on 1/10/25. that’s exactly how it looks right now.

Today 2/10/25 i stuck the battery on it, new fuel and it started fine. See Video…

I drove it 100 yards and all good, lights working, horn etc, not quite firing on all the cylinders all the time, but i didn’t want to run it for long as tt has been noted that there was petrol in the oil.

This is more than reflected in the very low price, just needs a bit of TLC as noted below.

I’ve bought it a new Petcock and all fuel lines inc fuel filter (and oil filter) so pretty easy once these are fitted to get on on the road now.

Couple of hours work on this, the carbs and changing the oil? 

Only other thing I know about is one of the front brake calipers is a little bit sticky.

It says 51k on the clocks, i have no idea if this is accurate.

This is surely a real bargain.I have the number of a reliable bike courier, you can get a quote from him to get it delivered to you if required.

Of course all funds cleared before it’s loaded on his van.

Of course at this age the bike is SOLD AS Seen.

PLEASE NOTE: It has a Z650 Engine… (an improvement?) Engine nos: KZ650BE083254 

I’m in old school British Biker, this a decent buy for the money, i assure you

Bike is in my very secure garage near London Zoo/Lords Cricket Ground NW1 postcode and is outside the Congestion Zone. 

Will need transported away by van ( i assume)

The following is the content from the ad when i bought the bike circa Dec 2024: 

– New battery
– Recently Powder Coated Frame
– Recently Powder Coated Wheels
– Recent Full Paint Job: The bike has undergone a complete paint job
– Engine Rebuild: The engine has been fully rebuilt, ensuring it runs smoothly and efficiently for many more miles.
– New Electronic Ignition
– New Pods

Please note the carbs need adjustment, it is common with Jap 4s when stood due to modern fuel. It is also worth noting it is registered as a Z750 but engine was rebuilt and says 652cc on the V5C as well. This is a beautifully restored and well-maintained motorbike that unfortunately I have to sell due to lack of time.

Due to this being over 40 years old it automatically qualifies for MOT and Tax Exemption (free tax)
