…Okay, this may or may not be the same KZ 1300 motorcycle that was up for sale about a month ago, although this is claimed to be a 1980, whereas the earlier KZ 1300 was a 1981 model. I highlighted that bike then, my posting about it is here. The picture of that bike has since been taken down off servers, but it was this same color. But it was offered then at just $1,650. Could this be the same one after receiving some mechanical work?

I did a little sleuthing, and found a very good site to the KZ1300 that has a lot of information and reviews. There are some jpegs of the Cycle magazine review from early 1979 (saying, “the biggest KZ is for the most part a functional masterpiece.“) Click the image to contact the owner/seller.
