The Mystery Ship was a limited edition motorcycle created by Craig Vetter and released in 1980. Only 10 were built, of which seven were sold.^[3]^[4] An example is on display at the AMA Motorcycle Museum in Ohio, and another at Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum^[5] in Leeds, Al. The one on display at the Barber museum is #9 and is a Turbo charged model.

It was based on a Kawasaki KZ1000 motor and modified chassis, with aftermarket magnesium racing wheels, Yoshimura exhaust, and custom Vetter-designed fairing. Frame modifications took two days labor per vehicle.^[4] The $10,000 price, though described as "outrageous"^[6] at three times the price of the unmodified KZ1000, was not enough to cover production costs.^[7]

The name "Mystery Ship" was derived from the Travel Air Mystery Ship aircraft.^[6]^[8]
