Tim, I'll send two of these out to you for the Z.....

are you going korean on us? :laugh:

Well hell ya if it buys me a Z for two six packs of beer..... :woohoo:

I got my complete almost perfect 77 last year for $1600 with 13K on the clock. I chenged the oil, put on a new rear tire and took off to Canada with no problems. $1500 is WAY too much for a project bike. Hell I'll sell you mine for $2500 and you won't need to do anything to it but put gas in it. :laugh:

We agreed at a price of $1200. its a good price. As the bike is complete and in fine original cond. The chrome and engine cases are in good condition, no pitting. No broken fins etc. The paint a "diamond wine red" is actually better than i thought, will polish up clean. Will be a nice ride when i get it on the road. Very stock except for Kerker.
Oh boy a Kawasaki kz1000!!!:woohoo:

Here is a pic of the 1977 KZ1000.
funny i thought that it was the red, when in fact it is the blue w/ some fading to a reddish color on one side.
I also thought it had more miles. There is just over 5000 miles.

And the other side

Hey I think it's a high price too, but I'd probably pay it too if I wanted it that bad! When ya got it ya don't have a choice, Mad Kaw disease ain't no joke! You really got the sickness NOW!!

way better than having swine flu i'd say.i never did look good in orange and black it doesn't go well with my green eyes

Other KZ's that i had looked at were really messed with. And i wanted one as stock as possible.
So yes it was a little more than i wanted to spend, but not much more. $1200.
Yes it will be a bit of work to get going. I better start saving some cash so i can send the carbs off to Wired George in Texas. He has done a great job for me in the past.
Will start looking for some original exhaust ( I know, good luck with that) or a nice Kerker.
And it does have pretty low miles.

Mad Kaw disease is not so so bad!
It sort of grows, you see a Kaw that you want and you just buy it- simple. You tell the family that "I know I have a lot of bikes already but this one is special". It is such a bargain that I am going to do it up and then sell it at a fat profit. Of course you never do because you then you want to keep it.
I have 9 KZ's now and still looking!!!

That 1000 looks nice. Have fun with it!
