new kz100 Classic owner in Normal, IL was created by gnfreak

been lurking here for awhile while searching for a bike. back in the early 80's had a nice 1980 kz750 LTD that i rode everywhere and every month possible. always lusted after a 1980 Z1-G Classic. i was torn between getting a ZRX 1100/1200 or an old Kawasaki. Since i'm posting here you can tell which direction i went. It's not perfect (hopefully that ugly sound on cold startup is just the primary drive chain!?! and those bars gotta be changed out to superbike ones)) but it's what i've always wanted.
Wish me luck!

I was being pulled between a zrx and a kz1000 also. I got the KZ of course. Zrx's will be around for a long time. KZ's on the otherhand are making their comeback but are still hard to find in roadworthy condition. Nice bike!!!

If pro is opposite of con, then what is the opposite of progress?

That Z1 Classic is one sharp looking bike!
Very nice score, looks like it was really pampered.
