She,s a unique beauty! Wow! Id give three grand maybe four for her! They are the biggest and the last of the "KZs". Thats an interesting fairing, rather unusual for the 1300, but cool!

There is an article on 6-cylinder bikes in this months "Motorcycle Classics". They claim the Honda CBX is worth more than the KZ. Guess it's more collected. Here's one for sale:

1982 KAWASAKI

Beemer1 · 08-25-2009

All that machine for your money....can't see why there isn't one on every collectors wishlist.........a sweeeeeet sweeeeeet thing

77KZ750 · 08-29-2009

Cool machine.

Bigfoot · 09-08-2009

How much do you want for it?

Beemer1 · 09-08-2009

Trying to figure a fair asking price, that is why I asked here.

Bigfoot · 09-08-2009

I don't know. Had one like this when they first came out. The handle bars don't look stock. Did you buy it or inherit it?

saiadriver · 09-08-2009

I have seen a 1983 1300 for sale in the city I live in that is in as good of shape as this one. The guy is asking $2300 for it but he has had up for sale for a few months. I do not know anything about the collectability of your particular model but I had a 1971 KZ900 restored and I was only able to get $2500 for it a few years ago. Good Luck!
