Greetings...have been a KZ cycle rider since 1979. My first scooter was a triumph cub back in '67', since then there have been several KZs. My main machine at present [ and has been since new in '80'] is the KZ1000-G1 Classic. Through the years there has been a KZ400,SR650, KZ750 and a FLHTC which hung around for 18 years.Dirt bikes ,ATVs and a honda odyssey still occupy space in the garage. I have been a commercial fisherman and high seas fishing boat captain for 37 years[ now semi-retired ], living in the Cape May NJ area. Still like to ride....

Welcome!
Not many riders still have the bike they bought in 1980. Very cool!

Thanks for the comeback...I sold the Harley but kept the Kawie...

Good for you!, realized which bike is worth keeping. :woohoo:

Welcome to KZr ED.

So, got any complete pics of your classic?

Now there's a purist, still has the break-in sticker on the tach....nice!

Welcome to KZR Capt. Ed, nice to have another Classic owner on the board. How many miles have you put on it in 27 years time? Are you still running the fuel injection? I don't ride mine much but I sure enjoy it when I do.

Welcome Capt. ED! You've come to the right place. So, tell us what you really think about NMFS...

Glad to hear from a KZ Classic G1 rider...not all that many still around on the road any more. Yes the injection is still there and there is a little less than 14K on the odometer.

HUH???...nmf>>who???...:blink:

Sweet that the original sticker's still on the tach.

Are you allowed to take the sticker off...I thought it was like a mattress, do not remove under penelty...:whistle:

Funny about that... :lol:

When I was a rotten widdle kid, I made a point of sneaking around with a pair of scisors and lining myself up for at least 25 to life if I ever got caught.

However, despite the "Do Not Remove" and the penalties of law, which I've studiously avoided paying attention to my entire extended adolesence as well, I'd think there will come a time when that sticker will be worth at least 2 or 4 times its weight in your pick of precious metals. :woohoo:

Sounds like a good excuse to leave on there to me.
