UK Kawasaki Homologation Specials: 1992 And 1994 ZXR750R’s
Here are a couple beauties courtesy of my Aussie hook up Chris. Why couldn’t that red/white/green 94 be a little closer to home? Me like. Looking back through the RSBFS computer files here at RSBFS Plaza, we have had a nice steady stream of clean ZXR750R’s over the past year. These two continue that tradition. The 92 is a low mile bike, the 94 is higher mileage but carries that very unique paint. I’m a Suzuki guy through and through but this is one of those bikes that I’d jump at the opportunity to buy (just need it on the same continent).
——————————————————————————————————
Man, I wish the Japanese manufacturers would get back to making homologation specials. Maybe they will never come back since a lot of race series have been steadily moving to production based bikes. Their race features were a waste on the street but who would turn their nose up at a chance to have one?
I bet this is what you are after, right? I’m kind of partial to the aluminum tank. Women like shoes, I like tanks.
Details, details:
Here we have a genuine Kwasaki ZXR750 M1 1994 m reg: 121 BHP. This is Kawasakis version of the rc30, 0w01, rc45, gsxr750k, Comes as standard with the flat slide cr carbs, alloy fuel tank, close ratio gearbox, high compression pistons, race cams etc etc, Fitted with a muzzy exhaust, good tyres, These zxr750 are now becoming a collectors bike and this particular machine would look good in anyones collection, Also comes with lots of reciepts old MOTs original factory workshop manuel, UK bike not an import, Bought from Daytona motorcycles in London, Part exchange welcome.
Good looking behind! It has just over 30,000 miles on it but you sure don’t see that color scheme often. The bike is listed as a classified ad and the asking price is roughly $7,500. .

The more common green/blue/white but it still has those classic ZXR good looks. This is a slightly older 1992 but it has only covered 9,500 miles. I think they need some larger license plates in the UK. I can’t quite see that…..from space.
A little salesmanship:
This is a rare and incredibly well kept Kawasaki K1, which if you know your bikes is a very Special and Collectable bike. It was introduced for Homologation in to the World Super Bike Series, which of course it Won against the likes of the fabulous Honda RC30.
What set the K1 appart were the following changes, which transformed an average bike into a Razor Sharp Racing Machine:
*Flat Slide Carburettors
*Revised Camshafts
*Fully Adjustable Suspension
*Magnesium Engine Covers
*121 Brake Horse Power
*Single Seat only
*Close Ratio Gearbox
*Hand Welded Aluminium Fuel Tank
Recently fitted with Diablo Corsa 3 Tyres and new Front Brake Pads. No dents or scratches present but a couple of small chips on the rear wheel. Not much in the way of service history but plenty of old mot’s to confirm the mileage. If you wanted one of these machines for your collection, and you want the best then this is it.
How does roughly $6,400 sound for this one? Sounds like a price where I’d be making more room in my garage. This bike is also listed as a classified ad and you have the option of making an offer. .
Now I need some help from some UK readers. Both bike ads say they have previous MOTS. Why are old MOTS important? Are they showing past maintenance on the bike?

Nice to see a UK bike here – more of them please!
Re: Past MOT’s.. The MOT is a yearly requirement, and results in a certificate which, amongst other things, it confirms the milage of the machine, and any “advisories” (serious faults or warnings).
These MoT tests are done by government approved garages/workshops, and are therefore independant verification of the milage and is a useful indicator of whether there has been any significant problems.
Of course, not all advisories are significant, year-on-year I regularly get “Noisy Exhaust” advisories on my Ducatis. I consider that a documented selling point 😉
Also – the MoT system changed a few years back, and it is now all computerised, making the collection of past MoT certificates redundant. Armed with the correct reference numbers, you can recall all the previous MoT information online.
Mike,
Thanks, that what I was wondering about. Doesn’t sound like a bad system to me. Guess you have to pass it though every year to ride.
Correct, it’s a very basic test of road worthiness, and is generally a worthwhile system to distinguish the worst offenders. Without a valid MoT, it’s not legal to ride.
Actually – Now that I look more closely at the photos, I have just realised that I was offered one of these very two bikes in exchange for a 748R that I was selling last year. I was very,very tempted, but declined on the grounds of it having too many cylinders in the engine.. for my taste.
Hello Paul, if you’re reading this [assuming you’re still the owner] 🙂
Incredible bikes, thanks for posting! How much is shipping from the UK to Colorado? I’m guessing it’s too much.
Out of curiosity…just how rare is the green/white/red M1? I mean M1s are rare anyway, but with that paint scheme? Did they import ANY of those into the US?
Ian,
I’m not the ultimate authority on these but I’m almost positive that was a Euro only color. I saw someone reference it as colors from and endurance bike that was run by Kawasaki France.
If you want really obscure, how about an Itoh Ham ZXR400R. Japan only model that I’d love to have.
