Another newbie to site

Hi All. I bought this 1977 KZ900 about 12 years ago from the original owner. It is unrestored with 6000 miles and still wears it original paint. I pulled it out of the corner of my garage and plan to put some miles on her this year after getting new tires. Let me see if I'm smart enough to load a pic or two.

Been running it all along. The tires are showing some cracking on the sidewalls so I need to change them out before I can put any serious miles on it. I drove it today around my neighborhood. Working on jetting. Thanks

Really nice bike, Enjoy!!!!
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

Good morning all. Thanks for the warm welcome and compliments on the bike. Are there any forum members from the Milwaukee WI area? Do you know of any group rides or get togethers? Thanks
