1981 KZ750 LTD
Hi from Australia was created by Irish Yobbo
Greetings everybody,
I've just acquired a 1985 KZ250W as my first bike. I bought it as a project for an absolute bargain, and it turned out to be in better condition than I thought.
I've dome my fair share of mechanical work on cars, so I'm hoping that I'm not dropping myself in the deep end. I drive a classic mini, and the engine in that is probably close to a motorbike than most cars (even has the gearbox in the sump!).
If anybody knows of a good parts supplier in Australia, that would be great

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.

Welcome aboard! Here's a good supplier in NZ (not Australia, but pretty close). They shipped to me in the USA, so shipping to you should be easy. Ed

Thanks guys, I've got a few parts lines up that I need, but I'll go over the bike with a fine-tooth comb before I do any ordering. Looking forward to getting it out on the road
