New KZ owner was created by KamKawakz
Hello, my name is Kam and I reside in Phoenix. I recently picked up a 82 KZ750-R1, well at least most of one. I was on the hunt for a KZ650 when I came across the abandoned GPz. Even though it's extremely rough, it was everything I had hoped for. This is my first restore/retro and Kawasaki, but I'm not new to the bike world. I wanted something unique and different from the common sport bike. I look forward to learning a lot about this bike and being apart of the community. My first goal is to get it rolling, then running, then focus on the cosmetics. I'm ordering a year specific Kawasaki manual this week, but I downloaded the pdf for the timing being. I'll get a picture up soon, but it's not anything special.
