Might Buy - 1977 KZ1000 LTD

I've been looking for a KZ1000. I missed a couple deals this past summer because they were a fair distance from me and I couldn't get there soon enough.

Anyway, there's a 1977 KZ1000 LTD about 8 miles away with a clean title. Guy is firm at $1900. It's got 27K on it, runs good. Doesn't have original air box. He said paint is not original.

I can wait for a better deal, but it's local, has a clean title and $2k is my limit right now.

FWIW, I've searched many threads here and I saw some of deals people have gotten. I think it might be a little on the high end but convenience because it's close and I don't plan on a full restoration. I'll change the bars, seat, blinkers, maybe rattle can the tank/fender/covers...and ride the hell out of it.

Any thoughts/feedback on price?

Price is location specific but it sounds good to me. I have a 1980 LTD that I would not sell for less than US $3,500. From the photo this one looks to be in great shape. Looks like it's all there, which is rare for an old bike. Can only see half the seat but it looks good.

Make him an offer and see if he'll dicker.

Thanks. I'm in NW PA (Mercer County). The bike's in good shape, runs good but the clutch is very stiff. The 4 into 1 Kerker makes it sound real good. A little deeper tone than my '78 KZ650. The bike has everything except the airbox (but might be available). The $1900 is the negotiated price. He had it listed for $2300.

If you find you don't want the rear seat stay (grab Bar) in your Brat conversion Id like to be the first in line to purchase it from you.

$1900. Why is it not in your garage yet?
Complete and running. Slow Ya' Blow!
Don't procrastinate! I'm in New York. I'll be looking at Mercer CL.

Fill Me in on the details! I'm 150 miles away! Western New York to Mercer. I'll go Monday morning and buy it.

I'm located on the West coast, in BC, Canada. So I'm not your competition on this one!

I think he was talking about the 300+ guests lurking on line. I'm always hidden. I find it interesting when new members chose to be hidden and not know I can see them but they can't see me. :lol:

Huh? WTF are you talking about?

Anyway, I'm going to pull the trigger, sorry to z1kzonly. And even though I might modify the bike, I'll always keep the original equipment..sorry Mikaw

Sorry, wrong thread. :blush:

Just came back from a quick 30 mile run..she runs nice. The more I'm looking at it, I'm also thinking it is the original paint. The seller specifically said it wasn't original (info he got from PO) but the graphics are correct and in good shape. So maybe I won't be doing a rattle can paint job...but I'm still changing the seat, handlebars and turn signals and take off the case/crash bars and big grab bar..
