KZ750 Twin Photos Needed
20 Jan 2009 12:52
Hey folks
We're running a short article on the KZ750 twin in the next issue of Motorcycle Classics in our Under the Radar department, but I'm having a hard time sourcing a good picture of one for the opening page. I was wondering if any owners out there might have a good pic we could use? In a perfect world it'd be a 1976 to 1978 model, three-quarter view from the front. If you can help, let me know here or send me an email at work.

Thanks loads,

Pictures? Well I didn't really come prepared, but if you insist :laugh: 
Not overly original though
Can't get image to upload.

It looks like Grace1 has the "most" stock appearing KZ750 twin, a category I can't even compete in (no such thing as a stock bike here, 750 Turbo comes closest).
KZCSI, you need to do something about making those wheels match, really distracting.
And KZ250LTD, nice bike, but that seat detracts, you need a stock flat seat, that one looks like it's from a 80 KZ750G model.
Stock exhaust is getting kind of rare

Hi Steve,
"you need to do something about making those wheels match, really distracting."
It's been that way so long that I'd become accustomed to the mismatch. I only put the cast wheel on because it already had the dual disks on it.
I'll look around, chances are I've accumulated a spoked front wheel that'll, mount the duals, since I last noticed it.
Thanks

Nice bikes! I've always "kind of" wanted a 750 twin. Not enough to give up my Z1's, but if one just happens to roll into my lap...
You can only be young once, but you can be immature forever!
