1982 Kawasaki KZ750 LTD

[@randywetzler5976]

I bought one of these brand new in 1983 when I was 26 years old, very fast and reliable and comfortable to ride. Sold it about 8 years or so later after my kids came along.

[@scdevon]

Great bike. I loved the long-legged first gear on these. You could pull 50 mph in 1st gear.

[@BushcraftingBogan]

I wish I still had mine. I sold it to buy a GS1150. That Kawasaki was smooth and very comfortable on long rides. I miss it.

[@patclair9555]

I have that exact bike; only 13,000 on it. It was new in 85, but sat indoors under a blanket from 93-94 until this past June 2017 when time came for me to have folks resurrect it. Has a few small scars, it was my first ( and still only) bike so it had a couple newb moments. I put lower rise bars on it, I didn't like the higher rise ones when I rode any distance ( traveling vs rolling around town.) I wish mine were that clean - mine's not that bad, but that one is immaculate! I've got some polishing to do this winter!

[@jimjams6342]

I bought this in UK for £ 1800 brand new in 1983, just looking at it and hearing it brings back great memories.

[@Rapscallion2009]

I used to have one of these. About 20 years ago. When it was about 10-15 years old itself. It was a good bike. The riding position doesn't suit everyone, but it suited me well (each to their own). Would gladly own another one.

[@MarcSteinig-tl1lr]

My first street bike was 18 wish I still had it would look great next to the Harley

[@bigspy100]

This was my first bike. I wish I still had it.

[@Joejo1222]

[@freshjive855]

Gaaaahhh I wish this was still for sale, I'd buy it right now

[@speedfre]

I used to have one just like it. Great bike.

[@SuperDave21]

What are you asking for this bike? I had a 1980 KZ650F and loved it! Kerker header and K&N filters and a jet kit really woke it up!

[@bigken5032]

Don't let that 80mph spedo fool you this bike will haul ass pretty good for a bike built in the 80s

[@barryparsons7874]

Beautiful bike , trying to find one in Australia

[@kamkaotm1]

It has a seeping head gasket. The "weird" engine noise he mentioned is the primary chain - it's what they do. I have the same bike with 90,000. They are bullet-proof if you stay up on the maintenance. But, those stock handlebars are horrid and should be changed out ASAP. Also, this bike is missing the rear grab rail Otherwise, looks to be a good bike.

[@vintagecycle316]

Thanks for your message. This beautiful bike sold several years ago. The bike had NO unusual engine noises. But the camera we were using at the time made engines sound like they did. Just a cheapy camera with a poor microphone. We currently have another KZ750 Four if you're interested. Check out our website, then call me. www.WilliamsVintageCycle.com

[@Deftonesdsm]

Great bikes. I just rebuilt mine again to add hp. I love em. A manual chain tensioner solved alot of my chain noise

[@gerald4133]

kamkaotm1 what are you asking i am originaly from ohio. I had a 550 ltd. I test drive the 750 liked it. Nice bike. Text me or send msg.

[@platoon-mg1qv]

90k wow... Im looking into getting one. Are they good to commute in heavy traffic?do they get real hot? I live in L.A.

[@YTjndallas]

kamkaotm1 I just bought the same bike with 19k miles. I hear chain noise, and very low compression. (Not mechanically tested, just obvious.) I would greatly appreciate any more info would help, or where to find info on the subject.

[@skullroses]

this was my 1st bike...

[@challengerhitchman]

Wish I could get mine to start that good. Mine only has 4700 miles.

[@isaacpulido9134]

Choke the filter box of air. Carb choke flaps mite have got suck in

[@challengerhitchman]

@@isaacpulido9134 mine is missing the air box. I bought a jet kit last summer. It worked great starts awsome and has full band with power now.

[@skullroses]

this was my first bike.

[@RealWunderBanana]

I just bought the Spectre version.

[@Deftonesdsm]

WunderBanana good choice. The specter is just a newer version. They literally made this engine design from late 70s thru 2002 in the zr750 i believe. I got an 81 750 e1 with a 2000 750 oil pan and oil cooler. Making parts cheap and easy to get

[@peggypatton9170]

This bike fast use to have one in 90s

[@oldhikinthesticks4524]

Mines a 1980 with less than 17,000. Like New.👍😉😊

[@gerald4133]

I use to have a 550 LTD until a 70 yo man pulled out in front of me!

[@mikeatkinson7949]

Nice Bike, what's the asking price!??

[@donnieboy123]

Nice

[@JerryOswalt-u9y]

Have the same bike

[@378904]

is it still available??

[@dinorawrar]

are the rear blinkers supposed to wobble a little bit because mine wobble

[@Deftonesdsm]

I hate those lights. I went all led integrated on mine. Helps voltage A TON. All those old halogen lights suck power=more load=less hp

[@lescooper5224]

I got one I use for a comuter but it's not as clean as this one

[@JerryOswalt-u9y]

Hsbr the dome bike has bar on the back and highway bats on the front

[@tomaszstarling]
