Welcome! Nice bike. The Z1R happens to be my favorite. Yours looks dusty but very complete. The original exhaust is very rare.

It looks like you'll likely end up doing a lot of the same work I did to mine a few years ago. Brakes, carbs, tires, etc. Here is my thread. kzrider.com/forum/11-projects/615972-doh...-z1r-refresh?start=0
