I'm not a new member, but I'm a newly active member? I let my bike sit for way too long and am finally getting around to getting it road worthy again. So I guess, Hello everyone!

Oh... and can anyone identify specifically what KZ750 I have just by a picture? As in submodel?

or tell me how to know by the Vin or other giveaway on the bike?

Assuming the front fork and fender are original to the bike, I believe it is a 1983 KZ750-F1 (LTD Shaft). To my knowledge the only KZ750 models that came with fork gaiters were the 1983-F1 LTD and the 1982-N1 Spectre and 1983-N2 Spectre. The front forks look very similar, but the tell-tale is the chrome fender. Both Spectre models came with painted front fenders while the 1983 KZ750-F1 had chrome.

Now, if you tell me the bike is not shaft drive you'll burst my bubble. Ed

Here for comparison with the bike at hand are some engine and identification numbers furnished by Z1E for various KZ750 models:
