This 1977 KZ runs and rides fantastic. She is very quick and rock solid at 150 MPH with no wobble issues at any speed. This is a real show stopping, old school motorcycle. The photos do not do the paint job and overall quality of this KZ justice. When in the sunlight, the paint job screams the custom, 70's metallic look.
