That bike is in beautiful condition! Also, it's one of very few models that came stock with dual front disks on wire wheels; I love that look. Ed

Good Choice, very nice. I know it's an import. but it is so unusual to find them that nice in the UK. Most of the really good bikes here have been heavily restored.
I like that two tone paint job, subtle and very classy. Kawasaki really knew how to work colours and graphics.
This BOTM standard has been set really high judging by the first three. Excellent!

I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

Congratulations! I am glad your bike is the BOTM, looks like it was preserved in a time capsule.,
