thats actually my favorite years of the kz run from 76-80,if its complete and not destroyed should be worth close to $600 if you can get it.

Easy stuff to buy and build.etmracing wrote: Great site! Well since I was a little kid there were a handful of riders in Germantown MD that would ride these late 70's dropped loud kz1000's around and I feel hard! I just finished a cb750 cafe project and sold it this spring, picked up a 2002 zx9r ninja to replace. And now im ready to build another bike....i know its not everyones cup of tea but I will be building a 4-6" stretch, lowered, raked, and restoration. It will be more of a weekend racer and light street use.
