Anyone got pics of KZ1000J? Dont really come across too many here. Was it not that popular of a bike compared to the LTD or the 900?

the reason u dont see too many is that they only made them for 1981, 82. then the changed to the GPZ.

All those pictures except the brochure picture towards the top are European models. We didn't have the KZ1000J with the GPZ1100 style tank in the USA. My dad had a new 81 KZ1000J and it was fast vs, the old model, but reliability stunk. That's probably the reason not many of them around. Few survived the teething period.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.
