When I was growing up in the 70's our neighbors owned the local Honda Shop. I used to sit at their house and put bikes together out of the crate just to ride them to town and park them on the sales floor. (at which time we connected the speedo) One of the best bikes I ever owned was a 77 or 78 KZ650. Paid $500.00 for it. rebuilt it with some help from my Dad over the winter. road the crap out of it for 4 or 5 years. The guy I sold it too still owns it and it still is a runner. I have tried to buy it back the last couple years. Offered him $2500.00 last year. I did not have money to afford anything else back then, but then again I was fortunate to have a great ride. and you can call me stupid, but no filters on the carbs and a 4 into 1 Kerker header.
Good times.
