Congrats Jon, long may she ride :)

They've done a good job of clearing the fields here too and we have seen a few good size rafters of Turkey's also, gobble gobble :P

Keep your Z1 up and clean too David :lol:

OH and by the way WELCOME TO BEING KZRs November BOTM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :woohoo:

Of all things Z1 I love them all, but this bike in this paint theme is what makes me just :whistle: Oh never mind :pinch: Getting choked up

So to those who follow bike builds / restoration projects here on KZR you should already be familiar with Davids Z1

He took a forgotten treasure and breathed life back into it.
Please enjoy some pictures for the night and congratulate Dave on being a well deserved November BOTM :P

The bees knees! Hawt. Love it! Botm being brought back was such a good thing. I'm not disappointed in myself for pausing and meaning all these years about it! It needed to come back to show just how many great guys (gals) that are still out there giving love to their old girls! Keep it happening!

Congratulations and yes that is one beautiful bike.
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

Awesome bike.
Another one which looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Seeing the pic of the "before" condition makes one appreciate just how much work and love went into the restoration..
Congratulations David
