1979 KZ1300

Found a gem in the woods, a 79 KZ1300 deep in the woods of Northern Ontario. The bike is in a cabin, sitting since 1998. I drove about 2 hrs to find the place. The owner is an elderly gent who's tired of looking at the bike sitting in the dining room. The bike is in fair-good shape. Of course it hasn't run in 10 years, tires are shot but it's all there. Needs a lot of TLC, carb cleaning, etc, etc.

Is it worth $250? Did I buy it?

Sounds like a score gaillarry,

What sort of plans do you have for it?

Any pics yet.

You did well...log onto www.kz1300.com to see what you might have to do to bring the bike up to speed (cam chain adjuster, etc.):)

.

I'll post some pics when I pick it up this week. I'm going to need a truck with 4 wheel drive,its a rough road into the cabin. I've already joined the KZ1300 group, but I still have my 84 ZX750.

Well, I think you did well.

From experience, the toolbox/airbox cover is worth over $150.00....

Plan on getting new coils for it ($425+).

Heavy and unique bike for sure.
peace,
