Motorbike: Harris Magnum Kawasaki

OK, I know it's not a Z (In the Nissan sense) but I just thought someone here might be interested before it goes to a wider audience.

Not been ridden for a while but does start. In fact not been ridden since last engine rebuild was completed - 11 years ago.

Used to be pretty fast, speedo has been calculated as being fairly accurate and it used to indicate XXXmph (no point in tempting fate!)

Needs some tidying obviously, but the engine does run, just expect to take it away on a trailer, unless you're going to move into my garage for a couple of days to get it ready for the road.

Price, well for an appreciating classic like this then we're talking roughly £2000

BTW the dust is free and I may cry when it goes - I built it myself and it alone was responsible for most of the damage to my licence
