1981 KZ750E
Hello from Dallas was created by Shasta
Hey, I am a first time motorcycle owner at 51 and am looking forward to the new journey.
I bought a KZ750e even though the craigslist had it as a twin. I got it for $125 down from a listed $500 and no title. I wanted a project and this looks like it is going to be a tough one. From what I can tell so far the bike has issues with the throttle, both brake systems, had an electrical issue that was only a fuse, start button is not activating and I am pretty sure the motor is stuck. Oh yeah and the tank is completely rusted through.
But I am looking forward to riding this when I get it all worked out!
