1977 KZ1000 - Wish I still had it
1980 KZ1000E2 - My project
Newbie from Florida was created by KZCM
Hi folks. Newbie checking in from Florida and I'll probably end up asking lots of questions in the applicable forums. A little background: I bought the first KZ1000 delivered to Ridgecrest, Ca back in 1977. I had a great time with it until I was transferred to Guam and sold it to my brother in law in '79. After that it was family and career with the occasional thought that someday I'd buy another one, fix it up and ride again. Long story short, my son decided that he'd call my bluff and found a 1980 KZ1000 shaft which he bought and gave to me as a combination birthday / early Christmas present. Early indications are that there's a lot of cosmetic work, but she runs and feels pretty strong. It should be fun although I'm already finding that replacement parts are priced according to supply and demand. Obviously there's more demand than supply!

Welcome KZCM...hmmm...I bought the first KZ1000A1 delivered to San Diego, CA in late 1976. Then I also moved to Guam, but in 1988. Then I moved to Florida. I think we are cosmically linked.

Sarasota here.
The morning temps are climbing up to 50 here and I'm getting ready to push something out of the garage.
Maybe a little 2 stroke racket with the Bultaco?
