Kawasaki's riposte to Honda's CBX in the six-cylinder segment, the Z1300 introduced liquid-cooling and twin-choke CV carbs. to the market along with jet-stream acceleration and a 140 mph top speed. Certainly big, at 710 lbs., it was seen as a hugely impressive machine, carefully styled to reduce its apparent size. From the final year of production, the low-mileage example offered here was last used in 2013. Having had an expensive, comprehensive and careful rebuild, fully documented on file and by memory stick, VLB 777X will be ready, following the usual safety checks and re-commissioning, to resume its high-speed career. Naturally, it is complete with a V5C for its 'triple 7' number.
