New to KZ's and my recent Z-1 I picked up for FREE

I'll trade you my 78 1000 for it. You can chop up the 77 and 78's all you want.

stupid new people and their dumb ideas, huh?? i belong to a couple of other forums so i know what it's like to have the new guy come in talking dumb stuff. but that is why i joined here because i know nothing about these. and, i'm glad i did. within an hour or two, i stopped myself from making a huge mistake with this thing.

:huh: We're all breathing a sigh of relief. You've come in to one of the Icon's of all motorcycles. Bring it back to where it belongs and keep an eye out for one a little newer one to bob. I'm very jealous right now.

Good Luck

Thank God you came here first! the 4 cylinder bikes look like crap when made into a bobber anyway. :sick:

Now I loves me some bobber but if you were to cut on that thing you would be a hunted man. There would be no place for you to hide. They'd find your dried out body along with a note sayin' you shouldn't have done that and a KZR patch.

"the 4 cylinder bikes look like crap when made into a bobber anyway." Awww come on. Who made you Joan Rivers of the bikes anyway? :huh: :kiss:

although the 77s & 78s were built in larger #s i still hold them in high regard & figure thier value will only climb if kept original. just on age alone u know u got a winner with a pre 80 kz/ltd. just my opinion.by the 80s we became a dispoable society,nothing built to last,so we buy more. i truly believe somebody be kickin my kaw over 30 yrs from now sayin wow !!!!! ace

I can sleep a little better at night. I have a real nice '76 KZ900A4 that's I'll trade you straight up!

Oh, Springer, check this site out: kawasakiz1.com/ . I'm sure you'll learn quite a few interesting things!

There was one for sale here last week for $6K was all original except the pipe. Ibelieve it sold pretty quickly since I havent seen it the last few days.

Restore it.She is a classic. It will all be worth it at the end.

Trust me. Take your restored Z1 ANYWHERE and park it next to a long line of Harley's, bobbers or what have you. Guess what bike everyone is going to be looking at and talking about
