“-If interested in an individual Kawasaki, I will sell them separately. Contact me for information.-
Hello, My name is Johnny Bohmer
I am offering for sale my unique,rare and significant collection of 1978 Kawasaki KZ1000 Z1R Turbocharged and Supercharged motorcycles. I have been an avid car and motorcycle racer since the early 1970's,I'm no stranger to extremely fast vehicles. I always had a soft spot in my heart for Kawasaki's and owned and raced many over the last four decades.
I acquired these forced induction Kawasaki's over the years but now it is time for someone else to enjoy and curate these marvelous and stunning motorcycles.
This amazing collection includes the largest "verified" grouping of authentic Z1R TC motorcycles currently available for sale worldwide. For any serious motorcycle collector looking for the original Turbo muscle bike, look no further.
The collection features a total of (10) 1978 Kawasaki Z1R forced induction motorcycles: Please note, the (#xxx) number in front of each bike description is a inventory item number, and not related to the fram, engine, or title.

• (7) 1978 Kawasaki Z1R TCs in varying conditions, from fully restored to unrestored. All of these iconic motorcycles come with complete paperwork and provenance, preserving their historic importance.
• (5) of the seven "verified" TC’s are cosmetically,mechanically period correct restorations, all five are fully sorted and ready to ride or display, out of the five (2) of them are extremely rare “log manifold” Molly TC 1.5 models and are only (2) VIN numbers apart.
• (1) of the "verified" seven TC’s is equipped with the Holy Grail “ Media Test Bike” options which was special ordered and is believed to be the only example left known to exist. This is a fully restored and very rare 1978 Kawasaki Z1R “Media Test Bike option” Stage-3 performance Molly TC-2.
• (2) of the seven "verified" TC's are unrestored and full descriptions are below.
• Additionally, the collection includes (3) more motorcycles:
• a fully restored Stardust Metallic 1978 Z1R TC “clone”
• a unrestored 1978 Z1R TC Molly “clone”
• 1978 CUSTOM SUPERCHARGED Z1R This SUPERCHARGED Z1R was purchased from the original owner and then brought back to life after sitting for almost three decades in a garage. You will be hard pressed to find a cooler badass, head turning and show stealing motorcycle than this one!!

This is an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of motorcycle history. Out of the “519” Z1R TCs produced in 1978-1979 by Turbo Cycle Corp., only around 90 are known to still exist today. Many were converted into drag bikes and met their demise through racing, making these remaining original Z1R TC’s sought after and incredibly rare.
Of course there may be a “few barn” find verified TC’s still out there but due to the rarity of these motorcycles the bushes have been beaten pretty hard in search of them. It is the consensus of the Z1R TC experts and enthusiasts that the number of “barn finds” would just be a handful if any.
The verification of the (7) Z1R TCs was obtained from the Turbo Cycle Corp. "sales registration log" records, including details such as the dealership that sold the TC, frame VIN, engine VIN and original purchaser. Additionally several of the TC’s have the original "Z1R-TC REGISTRATION Warranty and Purchaser Certification" this is a signed and witnessed document that states there is no Warranty. Photos of these documents along with photos of the title and frame/engine vin# 's will be provided in an email to the purchaser once the deposit has been received. Once the purchase is complete all the documents will be given to the buyer.”

I would love to have the clone. I bought a 1978 Z1R 1000 new back then. Non turbo but bad ass bike. I might have to look into this. Being he will separate.
