    1978 Kawasaki For $200?

    Id hate to post a link if someone else were to get it, so ill ask here

    What's the value of a 1978 Kawasaki 400cc Cycle? Its been sitting so its as is.

    The asking price is $200 but he'd take $150 today.

    Old Japanese bikes are in high demand by many for the obvious reasons, nothing is made like it used to be. I have been offered $1200 for my 85 yammer 750. Gave it to my son on his 16th birthday. He just turned 21 it's still setting where it was when I gave it to him.

    parts on old bikes are sky high.

    For $100, and looking at the picture, I wouldn't care what was wrong with it as long as the engine wasn't seized.

    Congrats on the purchase!

    I've had a number of KZ's over the years but they were all 4 cylinders. Easy bikes to work on and fun to ride...Unfortunately some are worth more parted out then sold whole.

    Last KZ1000 I had sold on Ebay to a guy in Dallas and he drove up here to Denver to pick it up.

    Fortunately all the ones I've drug home were able to get running and back on the road and sold after having some fun with them. I changed my username after being on here for about a year but kept the KZ part.

    yup, I would have bought that in a heartbeat.

    I just picked up a 80's Trac escot for free. gonna try to get it running and use it for putting around... after plating it.
