Question & Answer Answered On

Q: Ever take it off any sweet jumps?

A: Interesting question 1danoz, The remarkable thing about the Z200 was its hidden ability to remain stable in flight- this was only revealed recently when secret Japanese war files were released- Late in the Pacific war when it was clear that the Mitsubishi Zero was outclassed by several American designs, armour was reduced to improve speed and turning radius-This resulted in the death of many Japanese pilots before they could use the tactical advantage. As a solution, the Z200 was designed by Kawasaki as a revenge/terror weapon- It was released from below a bomber loaded with HE or an AP charge, to destroy US aircraft carriers- this one here was salvaged from the battle of Midway and is one of a kind.

Q: can u ride it now
01-Feb-06
A: Hi Fuller, I think that if you read through the other questions that have been posted, (other than Richard)I have made it clear that this is a restoration project. If you are looking for a ride-away bike, you may have to look at bikes over $100! I notice that you are the highest bidder at present, this really is the kind of question you should ask prior to bidding. Regards iain



Q: Hi do you think that the bike would be a goer with a battery and a tune up is there much work for rwc thanks martin

A: Hi Mjj. The only mechanical repairs that I think will be neded is a new camchain tensioner and new speedo and tacho cables. I recently bought a bike in a similar state and had lubed every cable and checked every screw and bearing,( and it still dumped me on my **** at the racetrack because a coolant hose failed!) The engine was not making any horrible noises the last time I heard it running. It has been siting around for 5 years and I do not know what the wiring is like. It was last rego'd in 2001 and its state is the same as then except for the missing indicator lens cap. As I said to Jeremy, I would check everything twice before I rode it. The bike is more a restoration project than a ride away cheap commuter. Having said that I don't think it would take much money to get it running. Regards, Iain



Q: Which part of sydney are you in, and is there are reserve on this auction?
29-Jan-06
A: Hi Ice, I'm in Gladesville. There is no reserve on this auction.



Q: Do you have this bike in any other colours ? Cheers, Richard
28-Jan-06
A: Good question Richard, Colour is really just a figment of our imagination- it is perceived by our visual cortex based on the wavelength of reflected light that hits our retinas- photons stimulate the cones on the retinal surface allowing the 'colour' to be overlaid on what most likely is a gray object. If for example you were to look at the bike at night it would be dark,or if you had had a stroke that affected the visual cortex it may appear as any random colour. sqinting or damage to the eye (from perhaps a punch in the face) may also change the perceived colour. If none of this helps, you could change the visual cortex's perception by painting it in the colour of your choice. Regards, Iain



Q: g'day i was wondering how close is the bike to rego and whether it is possible to push start the bike? Cheers Jeremy
28-Jan-06
A: Hi Jeremy, At the least it would need a new battery, (even if you push start it!)and a replacement lens for the left rear indicator. It is also missing the tacho cable. I would definately recommend not buying it with the intention of push starting it and riding it home unregistered. I would replace the oil, check the awful disc brake, check all wiring, bolts, chain, drain the tank and float bowls,change the tyres(they are pretty old even if they are legal) and check everything twice. I would describe the bike as in need of further restoration.
