I know. I'm in a class of one here, but I've never got what people like about them. Shell suit paint job, hideous looking chassis and body work...

The owner sponsors one of the racers,he rides the NR750 & it's done over 8K,nice to see that it gets used.I've never seen one other than in a showroom.It got a lot of attention.

Nitrous? :shock:

This lot will be auctioned by Iconic Auctioneers at The Iconic Motorcycle Sale at Kempton Park 2026 on Saturday the 18th of July, Kempton Park Racecourse, TW16 5AE. The price indicated is the lower estimate. Please note we are unable to offer part exchange or finance. Description: 'Of all the world's production models, it's the fastest thing on two wheels' - 1972 Kawasaki brochure,74bhp in a fairly narrow power band and weighing only 8kg more than its predecessor required intelligent throttle control,A lightweight tubular cradle frame, rear weight bias and a short swingarm meant that the handling could be a little focussing although its 'Widowmaker' nickname is a little unjust,However, those very characteristics mean the Mach IV has a certain 'cachet' and remains much in demand,This 'anything other than standard' custom example is presented in very good overall condition,In running order and UK-registered ,Part of a recent deceased estate so little known in terms of bike history,Appears well built and fitted with Gibson custom expansion exhaust pipes,UK-registered from new on a current V5C,Showing just under 1,300 miles since custom build,Great eye catching custom machine,
