Just aquired a '81 KZ750 LTD in need of a lot of attention. My first bike since 1976 when I bought a brand new KZ900 for about $2,400 IIRC.....

Here it is:

The wife has had 34 yrs to get used to this. I broke her in by buying a KZ900 2 days before our wedding (surprise!!). I've had over 60 vehicles since then. The bike will be a far bigger "issue".....
