Why do you have more than one KZ?

because I can...

I only have 1 KZ, but I have other Kaws and have a hard time passing up a good deal on a cheap ride.

Because they're better looking than the rest of the junk I haul in!

i started jacking with z1s almost 30 years ago back when they were giving them away cheap,now its mostly the thrill of the chase for me!

At the moment I only have one kz, but I do have three bultacos. I can't decide wether to get another kz or a two stroke street bike with pizza cutter tires. The decision seems to change every other day.

Just waitign on Gringo to chime in. Should be interesting to hear him justify owning like 30 bikes :laugh:

My first bike at 18 years old was a 77 B1 KZ650, I still have it.
Back then I wanted to get mags wheels instead of spokes.
About 5 years ago I found a C1 w/mags, all stock and ready to ride at a good price. I bought it too. It's my daily driver.
Then there was the 750 LTD on the cheap.
And the other 650 with another COMPLETE parts bike for less then what I paid for the 750!
Oh and the $25 parts bike (title pending) that was acutally less than 20 miles to go pick up....
Ummmmm....what was the question again?
:whistle:

A mental illness is a really hard thing to justify, so I guess I won’t even try. I think I could point to pretty much any of the reasons already given by other members for owning so many of these old bikes. Plus I need something to do while drinking beer and I hate to watch sports on TV so that’s a good reason. It is far cheaper and a lot less work than raising show horses (one of my previous obsessions). It’s also less aggravation and cheaper than having multiple girlfriends (another previous obsession). Then there is the fact that I worked at a Kawasaki dealer from 77 until 84 and I remember all these bikes when they were brand new, so I guess there is a certain amount of nostalgia involved. Like the beer commercial said, why ask why?

It looks like the temptation MAY be an '82 Z650F3 from the UK!!! Wow, Rare!!! Story is the owner brought it over in pieces and couldn't figure out how to get it back together again and left it at the company which auctioned it off for next to nothing.

Hope no pieces are missing! I feel all fuzzy inside...

This has got to be the DUMBEST question EVER asked on this forum!!!!

:lol:

Well I only have one right now, and there's some things I'd like to do to it, but that all takes time. Time that I don't want to be bikeless.
So Ima lookin'.
