Nice looking lil' bike, and appears to be all original and in perfect condition too. B)

I'd love to have it to scoot around town on.
I'm sure it'd grab a lot of attention!:woohoo:

Even if it could be scored for a good price, for me the shipping costs would likely be a deal-killer. :(

kzstreetfighter71, try searching for Z1000 parts on eBay.uk, that's what the KZ's were called in Europe.

And Klasmo is in Europe (Germany), lot's of cool parts that will empty your wallet :D

Sandy, you my friend are a bad influence. I'm having enough trouble trying to import my wife without adding a motorcycle to the mix.:pinch: :pinch: :pinch: If I had to deal with more government agencies I think I'd have to kill myself.:angry:

I was thinking along the same lines there (strange minds think alike, eh? :P :laugh:)

"Kill two birds with one stone" - just have her ride along in the shipping container with the bike. Your bike and wife will certainly be protected well during transit in one of those containers. The bonus would be that your wife will have time to bond with the "new" bike, and will likely be more accepting and supportive of your obvious KZ addiction due to this bonding process. ;) :laugh:

From Cali, Colombia to Akron, Ohio. I've been filling out paperwork for over a year now and I'm still not done. I'm beginning to think it would be easier for her to just ask the Cali drug cartel about how to get here. I'm sure it would be faster and probably less expensive than dealing with the US immigration dept.:angry:
