Given the glacial pace of sales at most dealerships now, I imagine the selling price might end up nearer $5k or less. But given the rarity of clean unmolested examples of this iconic bike, who knows.

I would love it, I had an '82 GPz550 and an 81 KZ750 plus a '77 KZ650. It would round out my Z ownership experience for sure. I lusted after one for sure back in 84. But it would eat up a good share of my bonus and I'd rather spend the money on road trips.

Doesn't mean I'd want either now. -- ogden |
