Not seriously. Just taking Hoof's idea one step out.
ChopperCharles said:I'd start with a Yamaha RD350 or RD400, or a Suzuki GT380 or GT550. The GT750 water buffalo commands top dollar, and if you can snag one do it, but the smaller bikes are fun too. The Kawasakis are notoriously unreliable. I'd honestly give them a pass. That GT750 is a 100,000 mile motor, with a smooth, reliable suspension and lots of torque over a wide power band. With a Kawasaki, you're looking at a complete rebuild every 15k, a narrow powerband, a frame made out of wet spaghetti, and handling that begot the phrase "tank-slapper".
For me, I'd go Yam or Suz, and skip the Kaw (any of them) entirely.

TripleKing said:I gave a nice T250 for sale in Poconos Craigslist. Not original. Has a 73 GT250 engine. Cylinders bored 1.0mm. Engine was rebuilt, 4 years ago, from the crank up. The bottom end was a rebuilt assembly from Paul Miller Suzuki
