    All kidding aside, that is truly tragic. On the KZ1000R site there is a registry, they've been collecting VIN numbers of that model for years. It is far from complete though. http://www.kz1000r.com/index.php/new-elr-registry-page

            Well, we've had a ton of rain here in Iowa and I farm so no planting for us. Means it's time to paint the bike!

            Looks very dark in the picture, but it's green!

                    Didn't Redneck paint his 550 John Deere green when he did the rebuild?

                      WOW...That 1100E is beautiful. What a steal in excellent condition with no issues or leaks for $2000.... The engine, wheels, swingarm, & V&H 4-1 are worth more than $2000 alone! I never cared for that style bodywork & gas tank, but that shade of green really makes it look great.very similar to the deep jewel green that my now-deer-dented tank was in the photo I posted above. Tossup between black & dark metallic green for me. Dad's '64 GTO that he got in high school in '67 was gulfstream aqua, very similar, led to a lifetime bias for me

                        My dad had a Honda GB500. It was very very dark green, similar to that.

                          I am thinking about doing a black, lime green, and gunmetal paint job on my tank...maybe black on the sides up to gunmetal with a green stripe down the middle and then maybe orange pin striping to separate the colors...but its up in the air still...
