Very nice! Almost too clean for a bike with 19500 miles on the clock. A US KZ1300 imported and registered in the UK? I note the cam chain tensioner has been uprated. Has this just been kept very clean or has it undergone a major strip and renovation?

Actually, Neville, if you can find the listing on eBay, it tells the full story. It is unrestored, and has covered only 2500 miles, if I remember correctly. That speedo is not the original one, and shows a much higher mileage.
The engine sounds great. And what an interesting shop! This dealer had my XS1100 for sale a few years ago- asking £10k, so his asking price for this 1300 does not surprise me.
It alarmed me when the guy making the video of the Kawasaki just left it running unattended whilst he gave us a tour of the shop - and this is in London! He’s lucky some opportunist thief didn’t come along.
