Hi, just new to the forum, but not new to bikes, been riding for over 45 years, but have just picked up 2 old Kawas for rebuild. 1st is a 73 Z2 Z750RS and second is a 82 Z750 spectre.
The Spectre is only needing minor work to get riding, but needs a bit of work to get up to pristine condition.
The Z@ Z750 RS, needs a shit load of work, but from what I can find is a rare bike and worth the effort.
Will post pics when I get both bikes in my shed.
Other bikes in my shed include:
2007 ZX14R
2012 Aprilia Tuono V4 APRC
2006 Suzuki Bandit 1200
1986 Yamaha XJ900

The Z2 certainly is a rare bike, at least here in the US. If possible you should try to restore it to stock condition as that will yield the best return on your investment not to mention it will be a very cool bike! Ed
