What do you guys think?

I know you love your 250, but the first time you twist that 750 all the way back, you'll forget all about her.
Then you'll spot this cute little KZ1000, and fall in love all over again. It never ends.

Looks like you did a real nice job on the 250. Now she will help someone get the fever and be loved as well. Now look at that 750 and plan your attack. Take a bunch of pics of your 250 and do the deal. Now take a bunch of the 750 and document it's transformation. You can have a wall of KZ family pictures. Or a screen saver for those winters.

How many miles is the 750 showing?

I didn't look at the miles, but he had just overhauled the engines. She purrs like a kitten and I'm guessing she will for some time longer.

Thanks! The 250 definitely looks more like a motorcycle and less like a moped than when I bought it. I will most definitely be taking some pictures of it.

I gave the guy a call a little while ago and left him a message (probably at work), so now I'm just waiting for him to call me back...

Go sit in fornt of his house until he shows up. Look at it this way- You would have a hard time selling the 250 just because of the size. Selling the 750 would never be a problem. Also the 750 will continue to go up in value where as the 250 will stay the same price for the next 10 years.

I would, but I work afternoons so it's kind of not an option....though I do feel a cough coming on...LOL!

If you keep the 250 what will you do with it? Because you most certainly will never ride it again after riding the 750. Small bikes scare me. They never have enough power to get out of trouble and the wind moves them around way too much at higher speeds. Sounds like you are getting the better side of the deal. Make sure the title is clean and get it transferred before he moves. What other bikes does he have?...Russ

I would ride it again, granted not nearly as often, but I certainly wouldn't let it rot away in my garage! LOL!

I agree, which is why I only ride my 250 locally around town...also why I want the 750...

No doubt!

Two 84 GPZ900's, one cherry and one parts bike
2005(ish) Honda Goldwing in great condition
1980(ish) Honda CB400 (drives decent...but uncomfortable peg position...feet almost tucked under the engine)
1976(ish) Honda CB400 Project bike under construction
Unknown make/model/year dirt bike in good shape
May have been one or two others that I didn't pay much attention to also...

I'm not sure what other bikes he's selling, but if anyone is interested I can ask. I'm positive he's keeping the cherry gpz as a track bike, the goldwing for commuting and he's turning the project cb400 into a cafe racer. The dirt bike might be for sale, and I think he said he was selling the other cb....

Go for it!

i agree.

UPDATE:

Called and left a message for him earlier. Still no call back yet, but I know he has a couple hour commute to work (with no traffic), so I'll try again tomorrow if I don't hear from him tonight.

you know what is going to happen to you now you will find that the 250 was fun the 750 will be more fun then one fine day you will go for a ride on a 1000 or bigger bike and you wil pretty much stop thinking about any other bike for quite awile then one day you will wake and say to yourself man i wish i could find another 250 that was a cool little bike you won't ride it much but you will giggle everytime do not because they are great handling but because you'll be shocked at how loosy goosy they feel and how 60 miles on a little bike feels like your going 120 miles an hour on a big bike. by the way i've been looking for a 250 or 305 for years just so i can have a laugh again myself.

Once you get the 750 you will ride the 250 two more times. Around the block for its last ride and then onto the new owners trailer...Russ
