Based on Kawasaki’s iconic Z1, the Rickman CR900 was one of the ultimate cafe racers of the time. Take a powerful Japanese motor and surround it with a nickel plated frame that allowed for much better handling from the factory, and you got one of the coolest period bikes around. According to the seller, this is one of 77 Rickman Kawasaki kits produced in 1974.
This example (VIN: 4704M) is said to be completely stock and original, with a ’75 Z1B motor. There are 4,902 miles on the odometer and it will need a new battery and a rebuild of the brakes. Typically, these kits were completed with Borrani rims, Lockheed brakes, Rickman forks, and Girling shocks. For some reason, this bike does not have the original sidecovers, which is a bit of a bummer (and the Kawi sidecovers look out of place).
