Should I get it?

forks,sidecovers,shocks........ id say $300-$400 is doable if motor aint locked,im gonna guess 74-75 from silver motor.any z1 is worth grabbing up for that kind of money,ive got waaaaaaaaaaay too much stuff already but if it showed up within 100 miles of here it would be on its way to the undisclosed barn! :laugh:[/quote]

it is 1/2 mile away!:woohoo:

id strap it to mybackand crawl home with it if thats what it took! :laugh:

its only money! can't take it with you. but you leave somthing behing for kids to fight over.

That's what I told my wife to convince her at last purchase. Can't use it this time.

If you can get a title you would have somewhere to start if not its worth the parts. Looks like a good bartering bike in the condition its in

@ $300-400, motor is worth that out here in AZ alone....
Sure, still have to go through it but look at it this way... Find another POS <$500 Z1 series and now have plenty of spare parts...

Simple math breakdown of USED engine internals...
If truly only 20K miles on her, pistons and timing components most likely still good but who knows...
No way of knowing how this old girl was ridden...

Engine cases ................... $50
Crank .......................... $100 +
Good no broken fin cylinder..... $100 +
Head............................ $100-$200 +
Used Shift forks are $50 each... $100 (2)
Shift Drum...................... $75-$100
Tranny, no broken gears......... $200 +
Timing chain & gears............ $100-$200

Plastic side covers NEW......... $75!!!!
These being original thus hard to find probably more...

Not hard to see, @ <$500, it's a deal!


I'm with Jordan, this wouldn't even be a question for it would already be in my garage and bragging images would be posted.... :woohoo:

the minute you do bring it home....the kz gods will know they have new hoarder in you ,,,,and deals will start popping up all around you for less and less and be more and more attractive...i know...cause i got a 81 1000j...five dresser drawers stacked with everything,and a fire dammaged frame and rolling motor for 500,and 1 dollar for the fire skeleton......then...it started...exracer with rob north frame and yosh pipe...300...had to pass....every day i start seeing sub 600 basket cases...and of course...they are bristling with old era race parts,motor work...ect...ect....feast or famine ,once it bites us ,were gonners

Advice here on KZR, Priceless ...........
It's a no brainer, buy it.

Ty... As Craiggy just pointed out (luv it), you are now this Z's bitch.... :blink: Too late, you've been pawned...

You will not sleep, you will not eat, you will spend every moment with her giving her love and attention... You will spend every dime in your pocket on her.... You won't be able to get her out of your mind....

As for your GF/wife/kids, kiss them good bye for awhile.... :blink: Like 2 years... :huh: :dry: :laugh:

Yes we are joking, somewhat mind you, for this does and will become and obsession.... It's insane! Hell, if we spent this much time on our human formed love ones we wouldn't need to buy them diamonds..... :woohoo:

if you don't buy her...can i get her phone #...it's far away but i could be it's pen pall

Kawickrice, OMR and Craig, you guys are changing odds to 90/10 from 70/30;)
I guess there will be many options after get it.

Only 90/10...

WTF, should be 100 to 0! :laugh:
Seriously, this is a no brainer, take 3-4 $100 bills with ya... It's yours!

Even if you can't title/register, motor is worth that alone... Not to mention all the other goodies on the bike....

As mentioned, go e-bay search for those plastic side covers. I'd wager they easily (for both mind you) go for close to $100 or more... :blink:

This is a Z1 we're speak about.... Hard to come by any longer... KZ900's sure you can find them but Z's.... not so easy any longer...
