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: :P
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 :D

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...
