to buy or not to buy used 81 kaw kz550 LTD

[chuck newman]

looking for advice. is the 81 kz550 LTD in general a good model to buy?
I've found a nice used one, at a price I think is appropriate.
Or, can you tell me where else to go for good online advice?
thanks for the help.

Chuck, I bought one last fall from a friend at the super low price of $75.00. It needed a clutch, tires and a broken wire fixed. To date I still don't have a full $400.00 USD into it and it is a really great running little bike. I like it a lot. My main ride is a vintage GS1000C but I am rebuilding that so I needed another bike and I don't think I could have found a better deal than this little Kawi.

Mine is a 1982 550 LTD in dark blue.

If you want you can see it here --> My 1982 KZ550C3 LTD
I put different handle bars and mirrors on it and I put that Emgo quarter fairing on it.

I am really pleased with it.
