FS: Kawasaki Z200

I have got to clear some space at the Chateau, so....

1981 W reg Z200, in original period orange (paintwork in extraordinarily
good condition). About 13000 miles from new.

Pattern silencer, otherwise all original. Engine recently overhauled,
electric start persuaded to work again, oil change, timing, tappets,
plug, oil filter, all electrics working AOK, new battery, new left-hand
switchgear, seat renovated (crack in pan welded up, and new cover
fitted), new switchgear left and right, brand new fork stanchions (not
fitted yet - the old ones are pitted above the bearing surface but
aren't leaking).

Chrome in damn good condition, really. Very, very little rust.

Undinged, scrawped, mangled.

Tyres are probably legal but you may want to change them anyway.

Lots of spares thrown in for free - clocks, odds & sods. There's also a
whole semi-stripped engine if you want for an extra 20 quid.

SW London area. ukp300. Or it goes on Ebay.

 

Oops - forgot. No tax nor MoT.

<looks at Mr Eaton in a growly fashion>

I'll have a sit on Platy's later today and see how they feel but vague
interest here.

 

Will you deliver?

Why?

 

Because. Care to contribute to pros and cons?

 

To France?

Fekkorf.

 

but think how much claret you could load on the bike trailer on the
return trip?

 

It's old, it's slow and you already have a slow old bike.

 

Bugger.

Is this still going? How much work, if any, would be required to get
it through an MOT?

I'm hatching a plan for a 7R or similar, in which case I'll need a
cheap runabout for days when the 7R won't be out to play...

 

It's still for sale, yeah. For an MoT.... notalot. Could use new tyres:
the old ones have tread and are black arnd round, but are, um, old.

Forks are off it right now having the new stanchions fitted, but
obviously they'll be replaced!

Muck and Jeremy have seen it, as have others. It's a nice Z200.

 

.... but haven't bought it. Which tells a story.

 

Heh. All concerned came round to the Chateau for a meal and a bevvie,
not to buy a bike!

 

How much are Cheng Shin Barracudas these days, anyway?

Yep, tis orange, looks in good nick for a shiteoldbike too.

 

*ding*

Wouldn't want a Z200 anyway, got my CG125 for winter and town use.

 

ogden says...

Fucking cheap, don't worry about the cost, just buy them.

 

Wot the lanky blerk with the cartoon hair said.
