and I'm tempted, but I already own a 650 which (finally) runs well. I just like the feeling of bringing something back from the dead. I'll go see it, if it's all stock and beautiful I can't resist.
Certainly you guys have been in the same situation. Why did you get another broken KZ when your first one works perfectly fine? (aside from being a Parts Bike).

...Why did you get another broken KZ when your first one works perfectly fine? (aside from being a Parts Bike).
In my case, I bought a running bike, then the bike stopped running.
So, I bought another one to ride while I fixed the first. It didn't run well, my bad.
Then I spent a whole bunch of time with those two bikes in various states of disrepair.
Once they were both running, the first one crashed. So, I bought a 3rd, in case I needed a backup for my now-only bike.
Then I rebuilt the first.
Then, somebody offered me the 4th at a price I couldn't refuse.
Here I am, 4 bikes and holding. Wife says if I want a Thruxton, I have to get rid of one...

but the main reason i get them is that there is rarely anything really wrong with them besides neglect. and a bike doesn't deserve to go to the junkyard because someone did not take care of it.

Wife said I could keep the 400 until I know the 750 is a reliable rider.
