The same guy who dumped that KV75 on me :lol: sends me a text with a link to another KV75. Not interested. I take a look at the ad and I'm no expert but the ad should say MT1. I notice the front fork springs look really low which if I remember right means early '71. I'm not close to the seller so I call up my 80 year old dad and say, "hey dad you feel like driving three hours round trip to pick up a little bike for me" I don't like buying anything without seeing it and I really don't like it when it's in a million pieces but for $175 what the hell.

As some of you know the price of parts for these little bikes are crazy.

But I had to pull the trigger on this for $60.

I don't know the comparison for these vs Honda Z50's - but the early Z's are crazy in cost for anything OEM.

Seems like parts cost more for MT1/KV than Z50's.

The sad part for Kawi fans is complete MT1/KV's aren't worth what Z50's are. :banghead

It's together as it can be for now.

Rough and missing pieces but not too bad.
