I agree! Recently picked up a little ninja 500 and ride it while working on the kz. Both are fun to ride, but for different reasons.

haha, yeay thats what i plan to do.
I am currently restoring the KZ with my spare time. pulling the engine to fix a stripped exhaust thread. and going over everything, soaking the carbs, valves, ect.

But i'd think this would be a fun bike.

it will flat rip compared to the kz and your license will be in danger every time you ride it. but hey a guy has to live a little sometimes right

Thats a nice bike at $1500.
I would buy it if i had the cash.
Just by painting it nicely would increase the value, sit on it all winter and in the spring sell it and make a nice increase in funds back.

Then i would buy me another Harley.

I had a 93 R6. It is a fun bike to ride. Providing it is mechanically sound and not abused or a chop-job mod, $1500 is a good price.
