        The Kaw 900 is an awesome bike, there is a hsop near me that has several old Kaw's they race. They do hold somewhat of a good resale still. Wouldn't mind picking one up!

          900 Kaw

          I have always liked the sun burst paint and ya they are getting harder to come by, back in the 80's and 90's importers went from coast to coast and scooped up every one they could find and sold them overseas. Good luck with the rebuild.
          An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

              Not a big biker or anything but still looks like it will be a cool bike when restored

                Wow....brings back memories! Back in the early/mid '80s, the KZ900 was THE BIKE! I have a friend who has 3 of them still. I had a really clean '78 KZ650 with an aftermarket header right out of High School. I only weighed like 140Lbs sopping wet and raced many old KZ900's. I could beat them in the 1/8th mile, but they usually flew by me after that. I would love to find another old 650 or 900....or one of those 3 cylinder 2-stroke ones.

                Also like to have another old Honda Dream 250 in black. My dad had a real straight one that needed minor engine work. He sold it back in 1990 for like $500. I always loved the black & chrome with whitewall tires!
