<p>1982 KAWASAKI KZ 750, Vintage nearly all original, running, riding Kawi inline 4! Honda's CB750 was the original superbike, and defined the Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM) from its '69 intro all the way into the '80s. Other manufacturers tried to emulate it in varying degrees and starting in 1980 Kawasaki decided to upsize their KZ650 engine and go directly head-to-head with Honda with the KZ750. Looking at the specs, the KZ is barely distinguishable from its Honda competition, with a 750cc inline-4 engine, a 5-speed transmission, and dual front brakes with a single rear disc in back. Today this bike is rather rare, as it was only produced from '80-'82 (so this is the last production year) and due to their low resale value for a while, many were just ridden into the ground making them even more rare today. This one has just under 45k on it, and while it is not a museum piece it is nice enough to be a very interesting conversation piece and a darn fun bike to rip around on. The few things we know that are not original are the bar end mirrors, the exhaust was coated black, and the seat was re-upholstered once. Super cool machine to keep it as is for it's nostalgic charm, or to customize it and you start at just $3,295.00!<br/></p>
