      Looks doable. KZ750 is way lighter than a GS750, more like a 650 (which it was born from). Nice bikes. I want the earlier model with the rounded tank.

      To measure is to know.

        Doesn't look like it needs that much restoration really.
        MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
        1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550

        NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

                    I suspect in some no paper cases the bikes to be actually stolen.
                    They are sharp looking this type of bike.

                        Not interested in the earlier models, with the rounded tank, they had 2 cyl. engines, & I don't remember anything too impressive about them, at all.

                          Actually, the 80-81 KZ750 E1, E2 were 4-cyl, with nicely shaped tanks, you're speaking of the 76-80 'B' (or the one-year 'G' model)series.

                            I had one, a 1983. It was termed an "L3" model. It had the big splashy "750" logo on the tail section. I bought it new in 1985 and put a ton of miles on it for the two years or so I owned it. It had good power and handled well. Great seat, good for long days. Nothing ever went wrong on it. I traded it because I had too much money in those days. Like most of the other dozen bikes I've owned I wish I'd kept it......
