I picked this bike up last summer after I finished my H2 project. It only has 9000 miles and is all stock. I took it completely apart and cleaned everything before reassembling. Fenders/tank/side covers were also repainted. It runs and rides great. New parts include: rear tire chain sprockets (both front and back) air filter oil filter clutch cable battery hand grips Additionally: Brake systems have been taken apart and completely cleaned with new brake fluid added. The brake pads have a lot of life left in them. contact me at jasonvanclark@gmail.com I'm located in NorthEast Iowa if anyone is interested.

They are a pretty good bike, but I cried when I realised it was pretty much the "replacement" for the H2.......

His bike has been sadly stoolen and he bought the new Z 750 twin: he was very very disapointed

Got my 82 KZ 750 in 1995 as me "ol faithful". And I beat the hell out of her!  Still have her. 1979-81 they were the 750 to have. (according to magazines) the best power to weight ratio, and great handling.Some old track video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j4eWcDxCSI

Nice E2, those were, (and still are) great bikes. Way better than the twin cylinder 750's. The first year (1980), they didn't have enough piston to valve clearance, I had to put valves and pistons in a dozen or so that summer under warranty. |
