    KZ1300 for cheap



    SO very pretty. A heavy unwieldy plug no doubt?

    Oh wow, that's a buy for someone. Looks to be in pretty decent shape.

        Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.

          Yeah I wonder what the fella did to it to stop it starting?
          The odd thing about this bike is that it has the same siamesed bodies as used on my bike.

          Larger for sure but very similar.

          Its like all old bikes no one young wants em. A shame to let this one get sold to a greasy bobber fanatic.

                  The guy is not that far from me. Sent him the usual request for pics.
                  I hope his response is better than the last guy.
                  His response was "don't got none"

                    Joe Minton said good things about those. Not many survivors though. I looked at a couple in the 80's and early 90's. Anchorage was full of them.

                      I'm just surprised it stayed up long enough to snap the photo while on the grass.

                        what does it weigh, about 1,700 lbs or so?

                            Actually, Tom, you are close, but you have to many zeros in there and the 1 is in the wrong place.

                            When it was released (and I got mine ) the magazines were saying that wet weight was 710 pounds.

                            They also said it handled surprisingly well for its weight. I agreed with them. When I moved up from my KZ650, I was expecting a heavy, powerful beast that I was going to have to mind constantly, to keep from being thrown. Yeah, it took a bit more oomph to get it up off the side stand, but once moving, did not feel any more ponderous than a GS G model (any size). The torque curve was also flat enough that there was no sudden rush of power, but it took all of its 120hp to get it moving.

                            .
