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.

I kept the number plates on the bike just to mess with the Harley rider that moved in across the street from me. You know the type, the ones that think because they ride a Harley, they are better than you. You should have seen him when I fired my GSXR up for the first time!!!
Can't wait to rattle his cage with the KZ when I fire that puppy up!!!

I made the bike with all the wiring to run lights on the street. I even have a complete charging system on the bike. When I used to road race it, I would show up at the track with my license plate still on the bike. Nobody back then believed I rode it on the street. 441 pound KZ1000 made a hell of a street bike!!!

1972 H2 750 Cafe Racer built in 1974.
1976 KH400 Production Road Racer.
1979 Kz1000 MK. II Old AMA/WERA Superbike.
1986 RG500G 2 stroke terror.
1986 GSXR750RG The one with the clutch that rattles!

Up in the hills near Prescott, Az.

The HD guy is mad because he broke the bank buying his new Hog and still is making payments where you have two machines that will put his "putt" to shame. :woohoo:
