Derek and Dom Rickman started producing their own frames in 1959 following successful racing careers
Better known for off-road bikes, they also built road-going race replicas with Honda CB750, Kawasaki Z900 and Z1 engines
The Rickman-framed machines were known for handling better than the factory originals
This late CR-Z1 (café racer) example is presented in very original and good overall condition

Originally supplied to Knott Mill Kawasaki in Salford in September 1980
Correct nickel-plated frame and swing arm, AP Lockheed calipers and master cylinder, Betor front forks, cast alloy wheels, Hagen rear shocks and Harris works exhaust system
Recent work includes a carburettor overhaul with new floats and jets
Showing 9, 500 miles and complete with correct keys
In good running order and UK-registered on a current V5C
