possible kz purchase

A buddy of mine has decided that he is finally gonna get himself a kz. We have been searching for a nice 900/1000 for aroun $2000. We finally found one, and it is about 400 miles from home. Overall, it looks to be a pretty good looking bike. Except the owner got a little more creative with the paint than what i would like. The color he chose to paint the bike is not bad, but the frame could have stayed black, and the motor definately could have stayed unpainted or black. This is not a powdercoat or high temp paint used either. Stripping the motor of its paint will definately be in order. I just thought i would share a picture of the bike with you, and see what everyone else thinks. It comes with a spare motor w/10.5:1 comp. pistons, a gasket set, dyna ignition, and everything that was removed from this bike. Is it worth $2000

thats the most hideous kz i have ever seen. but i would pay 2 g's for it with the other motor. id prolly try to talk him down a bit though. just because of the paint.

I love a screaming green:woohoo: but the case covers and kickstand:(

Thats the color i am doing my z1 in, but im for sure not gonna do the frame and motor and side stand in the green though............Blah....lol. The frame and swing arm will be glossy black. I say 2 grand is a decent price, but i would see if he would come down a bit. Keep us updated.

I would ask him why he didn't paint the tires and seat. :laugh:

wow just wow lol

To bad it will take another 2G's to undo that masterpiece.:laugh: Hideous was the correct term for this bike. Although, run what ya brung.

offer him $1200.00.id put a bag over my head and buy it at night but im afraid the glow would give it away,it would be like a green tracer round going down range !:laugh:

If he went this far! He should have done it all!
Painted lower legs and metal fenders, green!!!
gauge tops and covers too.

now that wouldve been overkill !:woohoo:

If it were me purchasing it, the frame and motor would definately get stripped down ASAP!!! My buddy will prolly do the same unless he is colorblind
