    Z1R,s

    browsing kijiji and come across an ad for a 97 z1r. i responded within 15 min and received a response saying he had a deal on THEM. i asked the question what them and was told there were two 78 zeds that have been sitting for a while so i told the po if the other buyer doesnt show i am in. Luckey day friday i received the email first thing in the morn that they were not picked up. I loaded the trailer and picked them up Fri night.now i just need to figure out what i am gonna do with them.

    Not sure what you paid for them but they are a rare find in the states these days. Interested in selling one or both?

      I was not a big fan of the Z1R, which was one of the new generation superbikes being produced in '78, mainly because of the poor handling.
      But a couple of those in my garage would probably worth some real dough.
      They look to be in pretty good condition, and are still a great motorcycle.
      I'd be willing to bet there's some serious collectors out there willing to pay some big bucks to get their hands on them. After all they were Kawasaki's flagship bike for that year.

        They flooded the market with those & I was able to buy a new one for $2500.00 in 79, a friend crashed it and I bought a new 80 Z1R in 1980, had to pay twice of what I got the 78 for. Most of those were either crashed or stolen & sent over seas some where. They are indead a rare find these days.

        I'm drooling

              No, it's not too much. I would consider buying them from you for 1600 and bam, you made a hundred bucks.

                    i have offered to buy his several times and he shuts me down. but i have been in contact yesterday and now have a carrot to dangle and he is interested finally. His zed was in Cycle Can the month after my 1100E and i have been after it since

                          I bumped into Richard on Sunday.
                          His Kat is a beauty as well.

                            I know a guy, a GS owner who has two Z1-R TC's in his kitchen. He had three, but someone talked him out of one. The blown ones were peppy.

                            I thought that they were neat looking back in the day.
