The title issue would make me nervous.
If that could be sorted, then I'd would jump on it.,,
Whether you can sort the injection, or slap a set of carbs on it, I think it's a screaming deal.
This is my build:

There are many more like it, but this one is mine... news to come!

I always wanted that model, I have seen them go for $5000.00 in working order. I 'm not sure if it sold or not, but there was one for sale at the Las Vegas Motorcycle show that a member posted earlier.
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.

The title doesn't bother me much because here in ga a bill of sale will work..but im more interested in the EFI..
I even found another one !! But to me the EFI in working order is what makes them hold their value,
the little i have gathered tells me that if the brain is bad then fining parts is impossible..
The other one i found and will look at monday(hopefully) is very low miles but the guyy took off the efi .. he siad it worked but he oppted for carbs. it may come home with me if its what he says it is lol..

A set of VM 26's are cheap and will give time to find the parts needed.

I like the chrome on the tank and I suspect the frame has been beefed up like the later models are. Rooting for you buddy. :woohoo:

$1200??? LOL that's a nobrainer if it's legit! even in mediocre condition. EFI---carbs...either way. Do yourself a favor pal and jump all over that one..........................Mike
