I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

And to Les Holt, yes I find great pleasure in saving these motorcycles that many in the past abused and considered jap crap.No telling haow many ended up at the scrap yard . I think we all have that grin on our face when we find one in a shed or buried in the garage and after 20-30 years or so hibernation, bring them back to life. That is just a testament to the great over engineered motorcycles that Kawasaki produced.
I have 75 z1 I bought in the spring of 2014 that is next up on the restoration list so please keep an eye in the project section and a
78 that i recently picked up. The 78, I fired it up today
Thanks again guys and lets keep the old kz passion alive
next project
