1978 Kawasaki KZ1000 Spirit of America Special

The vehicle in question is a rare and distinctive 1978 Kawasaki KZ1000 Spirit of America Special. Manufactured during an era when Japanese motorcycles gained prominence in the U.S., this bike bears a unique heritage. It is one out of only 200 units produced to commemorate Kawasaki's first American factory established in Lincoln, Nebraska. The bike features a powerful inline four-cylinder engine, capable of producing around 100 horsepower, and an iconic green paint scheme with dual silver stripes across its fuel tank, embodying the patriotic Spirit of America theme. Sadly, it is currently offered as a non-running project after being stored for approximately two decades. It was acquired by its present seller in 2022 in need of restoration. Despite its current condition, this rare Kawasaki stands out as an important piece of motorcycle history and enthusiast culture.
