I am the owner of a very nice 1981 KZ1300 with peanut tank. Bone original ebony. This is my 4th KZ1300 I've owned. Started with the 1st one in 1992 in South Africa. bought & sold them. Moved to Vancouver , went to Swap meet in Tsewassen BC & bought this beauty for a lot of $$$$....s. A keeper. I also have a Krauzer Full fairing with panniers that came with the bike. Never put it on, 'cause I lke the original naked look.
My other bike is a brand new BMW GTL1600 EXCLUSIVE. Still think the old KZ is a more loving bike to ride. " Harley eater"

Hi Bornmann welcome to the forum. You just can't get a six out of the system once you have owned one. I do agree that they do look best naked but as with me that may change as it ages

Yeah, welcome.

She is original and if you can and want to keep her that way: perfecgt for me !

ride

Hello Bornmann,
That looks a nice bike. How many miles on it?
I'd like to ask what I always want to know from 1300 owners: What is it that appeals to you so much about this Kawasaki?
Interested to hear you also have a BMW six. Today I was at a fuel station with my car, when a BMW like yours pulled in. Its looks and SOUND were AMAZING. Fabulous bike.

Biltonjim, yes it would be interesting to know what drew them to the KZ 1300. I feel a need to be different and am a bit of a non-conformist. We have to be a touch crazy too! One of the funniest cartoons I've ever seen was a big herd of sheep standing out in a field. Everyone of them had the emblem of The Motor Company (Harley) branded on them! We are definitely not sheep!
