KAWASAKI KZ 1300 24K GOLD EDITION

,

, There is now other like this. Although it is more of a completely exceptional handcrafted work of art, the bike is technically flawless and can be completely put into running condition by liquefaction if the buyer so wishes.

, Ari Jurvainen, who was responsible for the project, says:

,

, The decision to gold-plate a motorcycle with only tires and footrest rubbers left ungilded seemed challenging enough after numerous handcrafted cars and numerous previous vehicle projects. The legendary Kawasaki KZ 1300 from 1980 was chosen as the one. A superbike of its time, a 6-cylinder rarity where the number of parts and components is large already in principle.

, The challenge of gilding different materials, such as rubber and plastic parts, is the most likely reason why no one has done the same before.

, The project has required the production of a large number of replacement parts made of stainless steel, which has been electroplated with 24K gold after polishing.

, The project began in 2016. Manufacturing the parts and uncompromising watchmaking precision required more than three years of work.

, No glued leaf gold has been used in any part, only 24K gold.
