My new KZ

It's been awhile since I had a super four. Been on the H2 band wagon
A 78 kz1000 popped on CL one owner 3k original miles. Bike had a fairing and hard bags of couse a funky seat looked like crap,
I was able to toss in the truck for $1100 bucks. With gas to fetch it,new battery,grab bar indicators , title transfer beer I'm just short of $1400

3015 original miles. stock airbox pipes original tires. original owner said he had it painted black to match the fairing and bags,that sucks. It runs absolutly perfect. I love it

Not too shabby, great find Greg! If you, for whatever reason, decide to ditch that seat, I'm interested in it.

Beautiful bike! Great price. Wish I could have scored something like that from the start. And I'm sure you can recoup a couple of hundred more from selling the fairing and hard bags.

Just thought of something... Don't ride it with the original tires. There are a few threads on here about guys pulling their awesome finds right out of the barn, riding them home, then sliding off the road because the tread is 30 years old and weatherchecked, and chunks off resulting in repair costs significantly more expensive than a pair of new tires.
