Newbie to the forum 79 kz1000 z1r

I got it for 50$ it needs carb rebuilt and chains did i get ripoff?

Welcome welcome !!!

If it just needs a chain and carb re-builds, then you got a bargain !!! Congrats.

How is the shape of the rest of the bike?
Do all the electrics work?
How long has it sat?
What city was it in?
When was the last time it ran?

Post often and take pictures and post them too.

You can add your bike to your profile so it will show at the bottom of your posts.

Ryo wa nihonjin no namae na?
Saki no post no bunpo wa nanka, nihonjin poi n desu kedo....

Any bike that will run after carb cleaning and a chain for $50 is a good deal. Z1R fetch a good price if in good condition.

However, I believe in the US, there was only a '78 and '80 model of the Z1R. Are you sure it is a '79 or a Z1R?

it is a 78
the shape of the bike is good
yes all the electrics work
it sat for 4 years
it was in reasnor IA
last time it ran was 2004
