KAWASAKI Z1 is the king's existence, when speaking about "Old Motorcycle". The price and popularity do not decline exactly, even now after 45-years since the debut in 1972. The Z1 which raised a price tag of 12-million Yen worth seeing! That is supposed to be, super super rare Z1 which carried unlikely rare value.
Is the frame number, No. 3! The engine number is also No. 3
‘In 1972, a rare and famous motorcycle with a big success in the race is KAWASAKI 900 Super 4, also known as Z1, and the massively-produced motorcycle first introduced a parallel 4-cylinder/DOHC engine (903cc/82ps), and it took the world's fastest seat from the Honda CB750 4.
The price now should reach 5-million Yen, and not knowing for that popularity will stay, even in the Z1 series produced until 1975, and when it became the best motorcycle of the initial model (Model Name Z1) of 1972-1973 that kept the normal state. It is said that the exchange rate of the Z100 successor model 1976 and 1997-78 Z1000 are also rising, not to mention the 1974 (Z1A) and 1975 (Z1B) as it is recently possible to get nearly Z1's looks with exterior changes.
The thought that such Z1 popularity came so far.... the 1972 model Z1 which the guts motorcycle of Saitama prefecture is selling. The price is 12-million Yen! Perhaps, it is the highest price from the past to the present, as the motorcycle price of Z1 Series (excluding customize motorcycle) sold in Japan.

Of course, there is a good reason for this. It seems that the "Initial Type" is the price for old motorcycle. It is a model of salivating collecting passionate gaze of maniacs in Z1 series that corresponds to this 1972-1973, and among the 1972 ceremony in which the number of productions is small is different from the 1973 year ceremony.
The Z1 introduced here is also a scarce 1972 model, but more importantly the frame number and the engine number are "No. 3"! The Z1 of frame number 1 is a super historical individual, in other words, it was released to the world as a mass-produced motorcycle of Z1, and it is famous for it being exhibited at KAWASAKI Heavy Industries' corporate museum "KAWASAKI World" in Hyogo prefecture
It is expensive to deal with Z1 1972 model, even in the presence of vintage maniacs. It is an individual who rarely wears ridiculous values that makes it dizzy for the initial mania, and this time the vehicle has this frame No. 3. Generally, it is a price that cannot hide the surprise as "Why is it so expensive?", but for the Z1 maniacs, it is just a visionary treasure you want to get it right now.
