Hey Everyone, philadelphia newbie here :)

Hows everyone doing, my name is Sean and i have been hunting for a classic bike for some time now in my budget and a 81 KZ750-LTD will be in my garage friday for a whopping 250$ haha. Now i'm probly biting off more than i can chew considering i have veryy limited knowledge of bikes and this will be my first, but hey nothing like diving right in
Just wanted to say hi to everyone and i hope i dont anoy anyone with questions, and i love seeing the diferent routes you all have taken with your bikes in the gallery. ok ttyl

I'll give you $260 cash for it. That's instant profit, I wouldn't turn that down if I were you, lemmetellya. :laugh:

Welcome to the KZR Nation. Looking forward to seeing the as-delivered pictures of your new bike. Let's get you on the road.

$250... that's what I paid. :woohoo:

Best of success!

Congrats, You got deal.
Mine was a non runner too, now it's my daily commuter.
I work in Phila

$250's a steal if all of the parts are in the same room!
Is it running?

Hello and welcome!

its not running, he said the motor runs but the ignition is bad. He is moving so he just wants to get it off his hands. It needs brakes and tires and some wiring done he was saying but i figured i can't beat 250$ and the learning experience. Thanks for the welcoming btw :woohoo:
PS i'll have pics for yahs friday night when i pick it up

oh and i also wanted to know what you guys think of these bikes as cafe racers..i see alot of honda cb's but not to many of these riding around.

Im in the process of building my 750 twin into a cafe/street racer. Personally i think they look really great as a cafe racer but Im a little biased. Is yours the 4 or twin?

If the PO reported ignition problems then seriously consider the WG Coil Repowering Mod and avoid a lot of troubleshooting... don't ask. :blush:

Cahill06 and others, add your year, model and location to your signature for the best responses... and its considered very friendly.

It needs brakes and tires and some wiring done

What kind of wiring? If you're thinking of doing the coil mod and have other wiring that needs to be done, maybe it would be advantageous to (carefully) redo the entire harness. It's very straightforward if you take your time and can solve a lot of miscellaneous "oddities".

Yeh that sounds like the best thing to do just redo it all and its a 4 i believe
