$3K... man, these KZ's are becoming more & more expensive every day and extremely harder to find at that....

Here in Az, about all you can find any longer is the police specials.... May have to get one just for the frame & motor....

I can hear it now... Honey, I need $3K for a 30 year old bike..... That will cost me some diamonds....

Here is another along the same lines in Ft. Wayne asking 3 grand as well. fortwayne.craigslist.org/bar/1056302974.html

Bike has some nice goodies with it.

Edit: I just looked at this bike again for 3 grand that looks like some pretty cheap turnkey fun. Maybe ride it as is and then next winter do it up exactly how you want it.

Genros,
I personally like this bike, it has nicer parts on it than your 10k bike did online and for 3k it's a z1 which means that (for most gear heads) it's worth more than the newer ltds. If you don't get on this asap it will be gone. No two ways to Sunday.
Even though it has a felt seat and crazy paint job it looks to have potential.

Gringo your post is hilarious. I would translate it to all who don't know. You don't need another motorcycle. When you are in love it would be Tu no necisitas when she is POED it's Ud the formal. Women use that when they have had it with you or they break up with you or about to break up with you. UD is a pretty strong I'm POed at you statement. I just thought I would relay that to you. It's like you buy another bike and it's adios muchacho to you kind of talk.
