Hello, I am new here. Bought a KZ200 to fix up. My first Kawasaki, but not my first bike. Restored a Honda CT90 for my daughter and customized a 1973 Hodaka Wombat last year, sold to a nice bike rider in Thailand. I am impressed with the quality of my 1978 KZ200.

Ha! Wombat, Road Toad, Super Rat, Castol R. Those names bring back some memories.

Welcome to KZR, Frank. The KZ200 is a nice motorcycle, although sourcing parts can be difficult at times as decent parts bikes are a rarity...you'll probably spend more time on eBay than you want

Kawasaki sold MANY KZ-200 bikes in Indonesia. There they were known as Binter Merzy or sometimes called Bintang Terang Merzy. The video below shows how they were badged. Ed
