Anyone id these tanks?

Found a Craigslist post of a bunch of tanks, mostly Kawasaki tanks but not sure which bikes they come from. Looks like there might be at least one or two that are kz750 tanks

Nice find! really needs an underneath shot of each of them, a lot of these can look very similar. Some 70's kawasaki tanks you can see by the small logo.

Is the 4th along in the 2nd pic an 80's LTD?

A decent bare tank is £100 all day to me. I'd rather pay top money than spend hours derusting and fixing dents.

It is a pretty good find. $75 for good tank $25 for a dented one. Those are just 2 of 8 pics. The fourth one in the second pic i was also thinking was an 80's tanks. That's what I need lol

Yes the big 80's tank badge and bubbly curves, LTD or 750E hopefully.

If you can accurately identify the others and they are from fours they are worth some dollars. Just hope it isn't all goofy 250/400 stuff you can't give away.

The middle tank in the first picture is exactly like the one on my 1980 KZ750 LTD.
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.
