the only ones i can find online are the KZ900...and i'm pretty sure this one i am about to get is a YZ900...does anyone know if i am just wrong and it is a KZ...the only difference between the pictures of the KZ and this is the pictures i have seen does not have the HUGE Body shield/windshild on the front...well anyways..it's a 1976 and it has 13,000...the guy wants $1000, but i think i can talk him into 750$....it has 13,000 milee...but it has been in a garage in Michigan since 1988..so i know i'm going to have to go through the carbs and more then likely the gas tank...but is this worth it??? I talked 2 my mechanic and he told me the bike as it sits is worth 2500$$?? just wanted 2 get a little more info from ppl who know more then me...Pleaswe reply wih any comments...Thank you so much and have a great day!! -Richard

I don't even know what a YZ 900 is but for the year 1976, would be a KZ900 not a Z1-900 (1973-1975) if that's what your referencing to.

In either case, since been in stored garage, if in good condition (engine not seized, body-frame-wheels clean, no rust/dents, electrical/wiring all there, no extreme oxidization etc....) regardless if running or not, @ $1k snab it up....

Here in AZ, all we get any longer is screwed up non completed 440-650 Bobber projects and police specials any longer. KZ900-1000 are becoming rare here unless you want to spend some $$$$

When you get her, post some images....

How big is it? Here are the specs on a YZ900:

i'm pretty sure it's a KZ900...how much would it be worth running, all original, complete, 13,000 miles???

Completely original might draw as much as US$5000-6000...depending on factors such as time of year, location, sales venue (e.g. eBay and two or more motivated buyers). Completely original and running, that is.

If it looks anywhere close to this KZ900 then for a $1000.00 jump on it.

I think a YZ900 would be a Yamaha 900cc two stroke dirt bike.

That would be impressive!!!
