sturg Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 so its been a while since ive been on here , and since then i got a new bike.1977 kz1000 off a good ol boy down in dayton. since his wife died a couple years ago all he does is work on and restore Bonneville's and kz's. hes a retired sunoco pipe line maintenance manits cammed, 4 into 1 vance and hines full exhaust, podded original carbs, jetted, and some cosmetic stuff. for a 30year old bike it runs exceptionally strong and is k e l e a n clean. i love the look of this bike, cafe raceresq ( for a late 70s 1000 at least) is big, but not so big i cant ride it comfortable in the city, but able to ride a couple hours with out breaking my back.id liek to hook up with guys who have worked with these before. the kz's were the bussa of their day and know they are capable of some great gains.. but i dont want to arbitrarily start in on a project with no end goal.(we all know what that leads to....$$$$). Id love to hear about what people ahve done with theirs. its seemsthat everyone over 40 who is into bikes remembers the kz's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Cool!A buddy of mine who is on the board but never logs on, has an old 1972 KZ that I got to ride around and they're fun little bikes. Enjoy that piece of Kawasaki history man. It's the best company there is. They make everything from bikes, to trains, to shoes, to bulldozers. Enjoy!
