The KZ1000P was built as a police specification machine. Made famous as the featured California Highway Patrol (CHP of ‘CHiPs’) motorcycles used in the US TV series ‘CHiPs’ from 1977 to 1983, they were, and still are, used with law enforcement agencies and as parade escort motorcycles across the USA. The earlier versions wore a simple front screen whereas later versions had a full fairing, as seen in the film ‘Terminator 2 - Judgement Day’.

Believed to be a 1994 model (recorded on the import papers) of the Kawasaki KZ1000P, this example was purchased by the late vendor in Malaysia when he was out there and then imported into the UK in 2000 as a project, but sadly the vendor never got around to starting it. It’s a fairly complete machine and has a fairing and a new-old-stock screen. It is accompanied by an import document from 2000 and will need to be UK registered.

Norton was founded by James Lansdowne Norton in Birmingham in 1898 and began building motorcycles with French and Swiss engines in 1902.

In 1907 a Norton with a Peugeot engine won the first Isle of Man TT race starting a long tradition of sporting excellence. Developed for their Manx Norton race bikes, the legendary ‘featherbed frame’ eventually made its way onto the road in 1953 housing the 500cc twin-cylinder engine in the Dominator 88. Further development increased the engine size and the introduction of the 650 SS in 1962 formed the ultimate expression of the Dominator range and when coupled with Norton’s Roadholder forks became one of the most sought-after ‘cafe racers’ in the 1960s.

The 1968 Norton 650 SS on offer was purchased by the late vendor some 25 years ago. It has had an extensive restoration in that time and has not been used much since completion. The Norton will need recommissioning before use due to having been in storage. It is offered with an old-style V5.

1961 Gilera Rossa Extra

Restored

Estimate: £1,500 - £2,500*

Reg No: Unregistered Frame No: T9463

CC: 125 Engine No: 1015673

MOT: Exempt

• Fully restored Gilera Rossa

• Been on display in the house

• Import paperwork on file

Throughout the 1950s the Gilera name was synonymous with racing. From the publicity surrounding that era of success, the sales of road bikes brought the money in. Most of their machines were lightweight affairs with a 125cc engine, moving up to 150cc and 175cc OHV singles. Expensive outside their Italian home market, the Gilera motorcycles were a rare sight elsewhere. Launched in 1957, the Rossa Extra was a deluxe version of the 175 Sport.

This 1961 Gilera Rossa Extra was purchased by the late vendor over 20 years ago and displayed in the house since. It turns over with compression and would make a nice little lightweight machine, once recommissioning has been completed. It comes with an import document and will need to be UK registered.
