So what is the FASTEST Kawasaki from years 1972 to 1977?

I was in the market for a KZ100 0 or KZ900 but perhaps a triple is faster? What say you all, and whats a decent price for a triple?

Thanks!

Triple is slower but will eat through your money faster.

Quicker off the line but I wouldn't want one on long road trips.

Triples are super fun but the price of entry for a decent H2 is high. Then there is the additional cost of 2-stroke oil, maintenance, parts and the horrible gas mileage.
