Yeah it gets noticed.  1 offer to buy it so far and a Harley rider I met seemed to really like it. But, I told him he had a nice bike too but I really didn't mean it, so who knows?!

Not much going on with the Z1 lately, been working on my K4. I do hope to ride it this weekend once the rain passes.

I follow what these bikes sell for in restored cond, her's your chance to bid on a real nice one...

Ha, that one's really within driving distance for me. I'm not sure how I would explain the purchase price to my significant other.... "honey, I took out a third mortgage on the house to buy this real cool motorcycle". It's a good-looking bike, though.

She's been very forgiving of this addiction, so far, but this one might be the straw that broke the camel's back....  :-[

Yeah, I can relate. If my wife knew about all my bikes, I think I would have the broken back!

That's a beautiful Z1 Steve, and like K0's, the 1973 model is the most desireable, and valuable. I know where there's a minty 1973 Z1, but the owner will never sell it, he's owned it since new. Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Yeah, first year bikes are normally more valuable, that one sold for $15K.  Keep an eye open on that minty one, maybe his wife will sell it one day and only ask the $2200 it sold for way back when?!
