Godzilla, its green and its a monster!

been stalking this bike for about eight months, decided to make the five hundred mile round trip to get it yesterday.
first year 1979 kz1300. six cylinders, 120 hp, 650+ pounds. felt everyone as i unloaded it off the truck (with sticking calipers no less).
9500 mile, all original two owner bike. been stored twenty years. i'm content right now just to look at it....

I can't believe that beautiful motorcycles in such great condition get stored for that long!

Looks great, nice snag, me want. :laugh:

wow....good for you...how much...will it run....will we hear it????

Hi Ronin,

Nice looking bike! Any chance you also got the top of the airbox?

Before you do anything swap out the cam chain tensioner. They're very untrustworthy. APE sells a manual tensioner or you can use one from a ZX11.

OOOOOOH NOOOOOO! there goes Tokyo go go Godzilla

It doesn't turn into a snarling monster until you put a 6-1 DG pipe on it. I had mine bored out to 1400 with Web-cams

i knew about the zx11 one, did not know ape made one too. it does turn over pushed in 4th and shift through the gears.
the seller was completely torn up about selling it. took beau coup pictures of it before and after it was loaded in the truck.pint has a little clear coat peel around the stripes and some hazing of the paint on the plastic, but i'm leaving it as is.yes i have the airbox top and chrome end pieces
i may put it on ebay though.....i just stumbled apon a 1500 mile 99 zrx1100.

Lucky dude...if I could locate a nice one, I'd jump on it too!

Ditto here, I want one of those!!
