how many kz or z bikes do you own? was created by crusierlover
I own 1.81 kz 1000J. I wish i had a bagger version, a flatblack with drag bars bobber version, and a pristine stock version like I am going to make mine into.I know guys have several bikes, because they cant find one with all their favorite features.I must ask, when you own several, how do you decide which one to ride?

I have never found one bike in and of itself that had every feature for every kind of riding that i did before.But now that i am a lot older i only do one kind of riding, so i only really need one kind of bike.I used to tour.As a kid I cafe racered kinda.As a mc club member i harleyed for a while.But now I just go out alone on days off and go for about 50-100 miles just to get the rush of the acceleration and using my self to manipulate in curves and see the countryside.Only now i dont want to get too far from home, because i get sore and tired more days than others.I have done 12 hour shifts on concrete floors the past30 years, and my imagination outsteps my body some days.I had a valkyrie 2 bikes ago.A 900 vulcan was the last bike.The valkyrie sucked gas, the vulcan was boring and tame.I like my kz because it has the power of the valkyrie but isnt so torquey, you can ride it slow if you want.Gas mileage should be better.I will add a backrest in case my wife rides with me to the taco shop sometime,

I've sold 2 leaving me with 3.. 76 Electra glide
78 ltd
In process of redoing a 73 cb 750..
Depending on who I'm rideing with or what run I'm going on determines which bike I ride.
Weather also plays a factor.
My problem is I want damn near every bike I see
I've sold more than my age and wish I kept them all..
Just can't afford insurance on more than3 at one time :sick:

I ride the one that works... You're saying that some people have more than one working bike at at time? Crazy talk!

I have 4 now, with a fifth waiting.... My Dad's '74 Z1 is waiting for me to figure out how to get it across the country. I also have a 1995 GPZ1100 (is that a "Z"?) that also doesn't run.

I still have the same number I've had for 14yrs now. 4 KZ650s, 2 KZ1000s and the 1974 H2. I rode one 650 a couple weeks ago, another 650 will be three years this coming summer, the rest been a "long" time sitting but all did run last time they ran. :)

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.
