After a 15 year layoff I'm back on a bike. A 1983 KZ1100 just kinda fell into my lap. Needs a bunch of work but it was cheap. I really wish a smaller bike had come along, I'd be having a lot more fun at this point but you are dealt what you are dealt. Howdy all!

Man, my dad had one of those, I think...unless it was the Yamaha equivelant. Said it was pretty fast. Four cylinders, right? I'd love to see pictures.

Yes it is a four cylinder. It runs poorly right now but it still has plenty of power. I don't have a pic of mine yet, but here is another of the same model and style. Mine is flat(faded) black.
