Interesting.....

When I had my Shed the opposite seemed true, ie original small tanks were the more valuable as no one wanted the fugly big tank as it ruined the bikes lines. :roll:

I think someone told me that the big tanks were a free upgrade offered by Kawasaki because everyone complained about the range. The small ones went into the loft which is why there are a few mint ones about.

Was chatting to a guy a couple of years ago who used to work at a Kawasaki main Dealer back in the 80's, he said when they closed and were clearing the shop and were jumping up & down on unopened boxes with NOS large Z1R tanks inside so as to get more stuff in the Skip!. :shock:

The larger tank was an upgrade, it came with the sintered brake pads and if I remember correctly was about £50 , the brakes were and still are rubbish in the wet, not the great in the dry. I bought the kit.

Also several dealers offered the Z1R Special with the big tank and brakes as an official model in 79 alongside the std Z1R, for £1995.
