New to Kzs but not motorcycles- bought a 73 Z1 this weekend. Pretty good shape, needs the typical tune up stuff but runs and rides. Have an electrical issue to sort out as well. Love the bike though.

It's pretty original but and has been owned by the same guy since about 1978. It came with a second set of original exhaust and some other OEM parts but definably needs some going through. The front m/c needs a rebuild for sure, dash lights and turn signal doesn't work, one of the front caliper drags, etc etc. It does have the factory dual disc front, which was a selling point for me.

So, no sticker, its long gone, but the vin is a fairy low number, IIRC its in the 03300 range. Engine number is like 40 numbers off

Great find, AWSOME! But I’m note sure what I’m more jealous over, the great bike or the Yuengling. We can’t get that here in Michigan.

Sweet looking ride. A spare factory exhaust, eh? Better investment than the stock market!

That's a nice bike!

Some detail closeup-ish pics of things like gauge faces, under seat, side shots of the motor would be great.

Good Ridin'
