We’ve been browsing MCN bikes for sale every day to bring you some of our top picks from over 18,000 motorcycles for sale.             

Here’s just a few of the fantastic modern classic machines available this week:  

’83 Kawasaki GPZ750, £500
First twin shock GPz750 was arguably best all-rounder of breed, now rare
We say: None original paint/pipe but otherwise all there and cheap

 

’83 Kawasaki GPz750 UniTrak, £2200
UniTrak successor with monoshock and swoopy styling is gaining classic status
We say: Decent, original nick and still good looking today.

 

’93 Kawasaki Zephyr 1100, £1999
First of the big ‘retro’s remains an option if you want classic style and modern (ish) handling/reliability
We say: Still sweet, but lacks credibility of the original.

 

’73 Kawasaki Z1 900, £15,000
Original ‘70s superbike commands big money today
We say: THE Daddy – but later versions more usable/cheaper.
