Title: My other Kawasaki muscle bike
Post by: Glenn on June 15, 2011, 04:11:15 PM
I bought this bike brand new, decided then and there that I'd keep it forever... so far, so good! It was Bike of the Month on the kz1000r.com website for July last year. Here's a link for some photo's and the story. http://www.kz1000r.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=55&Itemid=79 (http://www.kz1000r.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=55&Itemid=79)

Good for you...keeping it in that condition.
I wish I had kept my 1974 Z1 (green)

Great looking bike.

And the Kawasaki green painted parts look exceptional in the living room next to the harp ;D

That is a great looking bike! I had an '81 GPz 1100 I bought new that I never should have sold...

Your bike was what I had in mind when I redid my KZ550A.
