The KZ (Z1B) 900 project is finished, and for sale (SOLD)

[cobra23]

Hello,

In the garage section you will find the KZ 900 project pretty well documented.

It is flawless, or in my eyes constantly needing something changed or modified, which is why I am ready to let it go.

PM me if interested. Here are some links to ponder:

All that work and your selling it?  It a beautiful looking bike.   I didnt make the CJMC this year, they moved it up a couple months and caught me off guard.

Haven't had time to read all your post on SSA but enjoyed what I did read.

Its already logged 350 miles in the Sierras today by the new owner.

He loves it.

New bike:

Old project gone.

Time to log 80,000 miles on a Guzzi.
Ohlins suspension front and rear plus Ohlins stabilizer. Rode it over 49 from Auburn yesterday. Pretty good handling touring type bike.

Interesting choice for new bike.  You must be a big fan of air cooled motors.  Although, it looks like your model comes with a decent sized oil cooler as well.  Or am I seeing something that's not really there?  That would be something I'd put on it if it didn't already have it.  Summer riding is hard enough on our water cooled bikes!

I love Guzzi's. The year I bought the Ducati, I test rode one and almost bought it. It was a Breva, and pretty spendy. This one was very expensive brand new. More than the Breva.

I stuck with the program and bought the Ducati Monster as I had wanted Ducati for 20 years.

The Guzzi does have a substantial sized oil cooler. It handles like a heavy bike with really good suspension, rocks when you blip the throttle, is dead smooth, I love it. Don't try to ride it like a 600 it will get you in trouble, but ride smooth and predictably and it just flows.

Always loved the Guzzi marque, when I was a teenager, an older friend let me ride his 1980 Le Mans, I thought it was the best motorcycle ever!!

The same model appealed to me back when i was in my twenties (I am OLD).
