Really think about what you want and how serious you are about Z1s and KZs. As previously said, you can buy superquick 600s and 1000s for about $10K or so.
Unless you are really into Z1s and KZs and take great satisfaction in improving these bikes, don't bother.
I've been hot-rodding these Z1s and KZs since 1974, doing serious work on engines, frames, wheels, brakes, etc. But remember, it's a hobby for me that costs a bit of money and time. I can afford modern bikes, but I've not been interested in them, at least not yet.
As I told my son, who like you once expressed an interest in an old Z1 or KZ, go get a 600 sportbike because 1) you are far too busy with your business for such time-consuming hobbies, 2) you are 'really' not interested, deep down, in spending the time and money on these older bikes. My son took my advice and he's very happy with his 2003 Honda CBR600/F4.
Okay, are you 'really' interested in this hobby? How much money do you have to spend? If you are a capable mechanic/painter/fabricator, then you can save lots of money. These old motors can make serious power, but cooling can be a problem for commuter Z1s and KZs even with oil coolers. Second, the frame and suspension will need work in order to handle the serious power you hope to develop. But it can be done and it can fun!
