For sale ex-military genuine 2000 HDT **DIESEL** Kawasaki M1030M1. The bike is in good condition, it has low mileage and is fully registered in the United Kingdom (near to London). It is fitted with the correct Odyssey battery (you have to mill off the reinforcing fins on the outside for it to fit), this is correct as by HDT.
The bike comes with registration documents and military release paperwork. The registration is a 2005 plate - this is because the DVLA (DMV) took the military paperwork showing the year in service as the registered year rather than 2000 which is certified by Kawasaki on the VIN. It also comes with a copy of the military user manual.
All is in good order, the sprockets, chain, brakes, suspension, no known faults. It is in as released condition. It starts well, once the glow plug light on the instrument panel extinguishes. It rides okay - I have only done 70 miles on it since I have had it, the rest of the time it has been on the rack on the rear of my Humvee.
I would rather trade the bike for a Freightliner M916A1 6x6 tractor unit. I will organise all shipping from the UK including delivery to port, obviously all shipping and charges are down to the buyer.
I have put a reserve on it, if reserve is not met then I may offer it to the highest bidder, but as previously stated I would rather trade for a Freightliner M916A1.
Any questions email me or call zero044 771 34zero 246nine.

Re: diesel military Kawasaki
Not sure all the rust and wear on it makes it worth the novelty price he wants (what ever that is). It looks like it needs to be striped bare and re-powdercoated from ground up. Hope you can keep him reasonable and get it.

Re: diesel military Kawasaki
I see the bike is back up. Apparently with a reserve again, according to description but I can't see any indication of a reserve this time? Can anyone else see that? Maybe because its on the U.S. eBay? Bidding appears brisk!

Re: diesel military Kawasaki
It would be nice to know where it went. Are we 100% sure it sold? Did seller confirm?

Re: diesel military Kawasaki
As far as I know it's still privately owned. Just missed it at a recent show & it's not been at any others I visited.
