The bike in that pic is a z1 900, it looks like it could be a 73. For 200 bucks you are getting the deal of your life. Post lots of pics when you get her home :)

74 Z1a 900 (Apart and making it better than ever)
77 Kz 650b (Threw a rod, going to sandwich in a 900 or 1000 motor)

+1

Paint looks like a Z1, and it's hard to tell but the tail looks like it could be a Z1. That seat is funky, but if it's a Z1 then $200 is a smokin deal.

get up at 3 a.m and be sitting there when the rooster crows..you will never look back and say "man i lost 3 hrs sleep that day"....... i say this because i got there minutes ahead of the others driving also to get my MKII...her phone was ringing as folks on the road from hrs away were trying to work deals to hold it....except i had the money in her hand and my hand on the grips already....get there super early and have cash...you may have just got a SUPER score...they do happen...never call it the deal of a lifetime though because i am still thinking there will be more and more :)

BTW the bike in the picture shows all signs of being a 1973 Z-1E....the choicest of scores.....

the tt500 is super cool too and could be a fonzie type bobber of high turn over value if you could get it cheap...

Who cares if it's a 73, 74, 75, 76, or 77. If it's mostly complete and a Kawi 900 it's worth $200 and a trip to pick it up.

Yep, pretty cool...buy the bike (either bike...but shoot for the Z1...looks like a later motor, though...and while you are there, I'd think seriously about the parts washer :) )

EDIT: The more I look at the stuff for sale, the more I think I'd take a large truck over there.

Oh yeah, I got it! 200 bucks, first person there with cash. Its a Z1. compression is 100-125 on all 4 cylinders, wiring needs some work (spark plug wires in particular), the carbs are cleaner then a baby's ass, paint is wasted, and inside of tank needs to be worked, the ignition is missing, rust in normal places. But as far as getting this thing running it looks very promising with the exception of a different fuel tank and some jumper wires.

Here is the goods!
