Congratulations on being nominated bike of the month, your bike is a beautiful build and very deserving of this nomination.
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

Great looking bike, can these old kawasakis do no wrong, I reckon you can take a Z from the ocean floor after 5 years Start the engine with "Start ya bastard" (no I don't sell or have shares in this product) , spray the tank with a cheap spray can and they still look great.
First Permanent ride the Z1R since Dec1977 (220,000km) as of June 2015
Second permanent bike 1989 FJ1200 dyno'd 140RWH, great bike.
Third ride is now the Frankenstein 1981 GPZ1100B1, 1983 fully recon motor fitted LOVE THIS BIKE
Forth my work bike FJ1200 1989 (same type as FJ above)
