New From Texas

Hey guys my name is Shane and im a Texas boy. I do use the word yall alot so I hope everyone is ok with that.

I do not have a KZ yet but I plan on buying one VERY soon, well as soon as I can find one that runs and rides for under 1k. So not really sure how long that will take.

I have always loved the KZ bikes and have ALWAYS dreamed of owning a slamed, streched, and turboed KZ. I remember being on the hwy running 120mph (i was young) and seeing a single round headlight coming up on me hard from the right. By the time I got my head turned around to see him he was beside me.

I didnt know anything about KZ's but it was a solid high gloss black bike that was slamed, streched, and turboed. It had a cromed out motor and swing arm and the rider wearing all black to match the bike. He shook his head at me and we took off. I didnt stand a chance and as I heard the turbo spool up he was gone as fast as he had shown up.

All I remember seeing on the bike was a KZ1000 on the side of the bike. I have needed this bike since then.

I have been off a bike for a long time and im just looking for a old beater to ride and work on slowly.

Welcome to KZR! Whereabouts in Texas are you located? I'm just north of Houston in Spring.

Im very excited to get one. Im just hoping I will be able to find parts for it and keep it running good.

As Martin suggested...parts for a KZ1000 are not an issue...welcome to KZR

Mmmm. I have been waiting for the right deal to come around on a 1200 ZRX for a while now. I'm on the same wavelength as Martin_CSR here.

I thought that too, but I have myself (and my wife) convinced that I should be getting a new Ninja 650R...

If you don't mind my asking, why the 650R instead of the ZRX? Newer? Warranty?

I'm buying it as a commuter(65 miles/day and it gets 49/50 mpg)...it is new (w/warranty) and is relatively easy on the eyes (tried to go Vulcan but (and I know I'll offend some KZR members) but I couldn't buy a bike I find just plain butt-ugly). I already have a garage full of used bikes...most of which I don't want to 'use-up' commuting...I'll have no trouble doing that to the 650R. I'd like to have a ZRX, but I know myself...I'd park it in the garage, most of the time.

Dang, didn't mean to hijack this thread.

Welcome Shane. I grew up in Austin and have loved Texas ever since!
My first bike was an 883 sportster, and I thought all I'd ever own would be a Harley. My older brother talked me into getting my KZ, and I can't thank him enough now. I only got to ride it for 3 weeks before I had to tear it apart. This thing is awesome!!!
You found the right spot, I hoe you find the right bike soon.
