what is this bike worth?

I think it would be a fun ride. And you could always bore it out to 1500cc if you felt it was a bit sluggish... 😉
 

HaHa

Why can't they be women?
Maybe if you painted it pink...

Just my opinion, but I would keep your nice 900 and smile every time you ride it.  

 

Yes i often crack a little smile riding the kz .It is also a big smile maker and magnet on older guys that want to chat that is fine, but why cant they be women?
On my fj i also smile sometimes and saying to my self inside the helmet  good bye  sucker 

Apology for the hijack, but somehow this tale fits.

Careful what you wish for.

Many years ago we attended a "Women and Motorcycling" rally in Athens, GA.  Was disorienting for slmjim to be a very distinct minority gender.  We had fun, rode some fine bikes on demo.  There were some wimmin' (pretty sure..., maybe..., difficult to tell sometimes...) that were just yuuuge & youglee & a little scary.  Lots of flannel shirts & very short hair.

Anyway...

There was a meme, or maybe an ad, a long time ago that indicated 'Real Women Kick Start Their Vibrators', accompanied by an image of a woman grasping the handlebars, standing on the kick start lever of a HD big twin, other foot in the air, about to shove down with a mighty stroke.

A pretty woman (clearly) in our hotel parking lot at the rally had a big-twin HD.   She'd had the tank and side covers painted with images of all manner of 'adult toys' intended for females, covering the entire tank and side covers.  It was clearly professional and very well done.  Said she owned an adult toy store at home.  When we passed one evening, there was a small crowd of females gathered around, looking at her bike & taking turns sitting on it, whereupon they would usually make primitive utterances and contort their face, as if they were experiencing some manner of sudden paroxysm.  Turns out, there was a vibrator built into a ummm...,  strategic location of the seat; a long-ish bulge quite visible upon closer inspection, controlled by a button on the handlebars.  The women (certain this time) were trying it for... reasons.  Was a hoot to watch.

A vibe on a HD?  Seemed..., redundant.

Which is to say, a guy may wish to be careful wishing willy-nilly for women to chat oneself up.

We now return you to our regularly-scheduled thread.

And they said using a "cell phone" whilst driving was a distraction 

Actually a cleaver marketing campaign! That's the only reason Harley has stayed in business, marketing. I know some of You fellas have HD's and sure You know what i'm talking about, if not just disgusted, ha. I used to help a Friend wrench on stuff years ago at Knuckelheads in KCMO. We had fun working side by side smashing each others preferred brands. What everyone wants to know Jim, did You sit on that seat? Was it earth shattering? She probably sells more seats then motorcycles, wonder if they come in a "Mustang" version, haha.  

 checked some more first spoke with the dealer that is selling it and they knew nothing so i then called the last  owner
he told me he was scared of the bike it has a short throttle and gearing is made for drag .He said it was a little difficult to gear in slow speeds ? bike has only rolled a little more that 5000 km and 2 owners after built.
Then i called the pro engine builder that also built the bike about 10 year ago.
He told me it was not made for traffick and gets hot, but it works okay on normal driving .
He told me the engine was expensive to build. only the crank cost 4000 usd the carbs abut 3000 usd he estimated
the engine cost 20000  then there is alot other expensive things and works done on the bike.
I  have now  got to my senses think i will just keep my kz  it is going to be too expensive to buy this cool toy and then will have to sell the kz .
