goldy said:Hey Matt, any luck in your bike search? I know you were looking for something older, but there is a pretty decent looking '81 GS500 on Kijiji.
I just picked up my new (first) bike over the weekend. Say hello to my KZ400! I didn't want to get bored too quickly but also didn't wan't go too crazy big with my first motor so I figured that 400 was a good compromise. Also, it was the only bike in my price range that I could find with the right look. I wasn't digging the 80's bikes with the square tanks and cast wheels. Bonus points for having electric start as well as a kick start, a new seat, battery, good tires, and for the wires wheels with a front disc. I'll be ripping the excess parts off this weekend to get some cash back and get a better look at it. I'll be focusing on getting it running properly, and doing free mods (like ditching the fairing and paniers immediately!) for now.
